Hey! Road tripping around the UK

Hi everyone, I'm Greg.
Picked up my 1994 Defender 90 back in March this year and love it!

I've got a road trip planned around the UK at the end of July, starting from southend, travelling all the way up the east coast to Scotland, then back down the west coast through Wales.
Fingers crossed I don't, but I'm sure I'll be needing your help at some point during this trip haha!

You'll needs ear plugs if you're doing it in a defender
How long are you planning on taking?

I've driven my defender from Southampton to Ullapool (then to the isle of Lewis) on many occasions stopping only once or twice for fuel and a ****! You'll be fine enjoy!

Sounds great! Keep updating on your progress. Reckon thats a good blog / excuse to meet up for beer

I always feel like I've done a marathon when i make a long trip in my 110 200tdi.
I ache everywhere and I'm really fatigued.
Long trip is anything over 80 miles total for me.
I thought i would have built up a tolerance to the noise/heavy controls etc after 20 yrs of tratter abuse but, alas, no.

Always tea and biscuits here if you call in , I'm not on your route though .
