Depends what sort of a trip your looking for.
What has happen to the adventurism with Defender owners.

I also live in France. When a group of us went off to Morocco we all met up in France then drove down to Spain. the rest met up at the camp site in Spain.

Have a read of a blog Chris did when we went off on a trip to Morocco. Your D3 would be fine as is. Sum guard would be good Raised air intake would be a bonus but not essential.Take an extra air filter.

We did Morocco for around three and a half grand. Which included ferry crossing, camp sites, hotels, food drink, meals out and fuel. And we didn't have to watch the pennies. Its best in a group for both security and more fun. We didn't go on an organised tour. I think we got lost twice for a couple of days. I just followed the others, I didn't even know we were lost the first time. It was great fun.
didn't realise it would be that cheap, alas still a lot of money
when i first start looking into different off road holidays some were asking in excess of 10 k
would like to drive from the uk, through france , spain , italy then into morocco
heard so many horror stories of security being an issue though morocco , then other sites where they have to employ guards etc to escort the group
however i think i would have a problem with taking the dogs the moment i left europe
might be a good idea to stay in europe on my first trip and go from there
i assumed the passport would only allow u to stay in europe , didn't think u could go outside of it
my two , black lab and a bichon , would lick them to death if they came near the landy , maybe i should invest in a nice german shepherd , lol

You actualy only need your doggie passport to get back in to the UK.
Once in Europe there are no border posts anymore,at least the countrys I have visited,France,Spain,Portugal,Italy,Holland,Belgium........
I don't think you even need one to leave the UK.

I had a German shepherd, he was the same very gentle but knew if they were friend or foe. If the later they wouldn't come anywhere near us.

Don't think anyone is saying adventurism is exclusive to Defender owners, but if you have one why dream of an adventure. Why not live it.
didn't realise that m thks for the heads up
what a beautiful dog , here's my two nut jobs
u can tell they have such a hard life, not spoilt at all , lol
this looks good

£650 ,
but alas the fuel etc is all on top , would have thought allowing a grand for fuel , another grand to cover everything else
3k i would expect would cover a trip like this

man alive that first dog is the spitting image of ours.
If it helps 3000 miles we did 850 on fuel.
that's really good
suppose i would have to allow mine only doing around. 15 mpg, seeing it would be off road
here's another pic of her
this is candy and she's nearly 8 years old
she is adorable , follows me everywhere and is extremely obedient
she loves her teddy, lol

Lovely dogs!!
I've always wanted to aswell, its why I bought a Defender in the first place. My first idea was Australia but after properly looking into it, the trip became VERY expensive very quickly so it got shelved, maybe one day in the future when I've made some more cash!
That said I've wanted to do Morocco for the past couple years, just never had the cash to do so plus I ended up going to Vegas instead
twice haha. Been to Marrakesh twice but on holiday, loved it both times, except the call to prayer grew quite tiresome when your hungover in that heat...
Once my landy is a bit more how I want it, I'll start looking again toward the end of the year for a 2018 trip. Got to convince the girlfriend to come as well, shes very apprehensive about doing anything landy related as for some reason the 90 always died when ever we went on long trips in it! Clearly didnt like her
Done France a couple of times, but I would hardly say it was an expedition. More of a nice drive to a campsite then a day off roading in sand. Blinding fun but thats about the most expeditioning i've done....

Yep, would definitely lick them to death they would. They look really soft and soppy.
