ʻLetʼs not dwell on the negativesʼ Yay, another lockdown in the UK ― just the start to the year we didn’t want. Admittedly most of us saw it coming, but that still didn’t lessen the disappointment when the announcement was made.

On his return from Ulaanbaatar with his appetite for overlanding truly whetted he bought first one and then another Defender 110, a TDCi that he converted into a camper. With a career in carpentry, measuring, cutting and fitting woodwork in all sorts of bespoke situations, the job held no fears for Errol. The first 110, a 300Tdi, went into storage until he had time to convert that too. Eventually, both were sold to finance a third 110, this time a Td5.…
