The idea for the Yorkshire Overland Gathering come from conversations with various Defender 2 forum members (where we are site sponsors) so the idea of YOG grew. Anyway it seems appropriate to open the event to related forum members.

The Yorkshire Overland Gathering will be a gathering where overlanders can meet the people behind 4 x4 Overlander, Mudstuff and Trek Overland. It is being hosted by Trek Overland at Lund Court Farm Nawton York YO62 7TZ.

It will NOT be a LR show in the normal sense of the expression so no arena with dogs herding ducks etc. All three companies will be sharing the same marquee, will be demonstrating their vehicles, trailers roof tents etc alongside each others. There is a possibility of a coupe of other local companies joining us as well

We will be displaying a map with local green lanes marked on and state which ones will be suitable for shiny standard vehicles and others which may not be so suitable for shiny vehicles. We will also have a road based navigational scatter arranged.

Camping will be available at a local campsite. We will be able to supply a list of local B & B's, hotels etc. There are many local attractions including York and its attractions, Whitby and its crabs, Castle Howard, lots of abbeys good ice cream parlour plus restaurants and other attractions.

If you are interested in attending would you please register your interest via email at info@4x4overlander.com.

This is just to enable us to gauge interest so that we can make suitable arrangements for toilet facilites and hospitality etc.

Well the Yorkshire Overland Gathering is definitely on for this coming weekend 31st March/1st April.

The weather is forecast to be dry and sunny if maybe a little chilly at night. Just bring an extra bag of wood to throw on the braai come nighttime.

Camping will either be at nearby Cherry Tree Barn, Lowfield Lane, Nawton, York, North Yorkshire, YO62 7RZ with normal campsite facilities for about £10/night or if you prefer might be able to arrange a spot of wild camping.

Two navigational scatters have been arranged which are tarmac based so should be non damaging.

Some green lanes will be marked on a map. Some suitable for shiney motors, others less so

Light refreshments will be available FOC, BUT (there is always a but) alongside the tea urn will be a donation bucket for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

Feel free to come and join us at Lund Court Farm Nawton York YO62 7TZ
