Although ADVENTURE OVERLAND (AO`13) is still predominantly a 4x4-based event, the same as HUBB UK is bike-based, both events are building to include 2 and 4 wheels. It makes perfect sense as there is a massive crossover between the two disciplines.
For instance, AO`13 features many attractions common no matter where you may roam ...

(knowing what to do when confronted by injuries in extreme situations can quite literally be a ‘life-saver’)

(advice on mapping – electronic or otherwise)

(everything from fire-lighting to preparing road kill for the pot)
SEMINAR SESSIONS ROOM athough it must be said - only a fraction compared with HUBB UK

Whereas others do more lean more heavily towards 4 wheels ...
