18 Month Overland Adventure from the UK to Mongolia
Three friends and two overland trucks; Gary, Tina and Matt, all from South of England worked together for a satellite company. After dreaming and talking about world travel and overlanding for the last 18 years, they have finally set off. In the beginning of 2015 the three friends finally had enough, there had to be more to life than working in an office. It was time put plans into action and start living. Escaping the menonity of the 9-5, sitting in traffic and paying bills. Initially they talked about getting a yacht and sailing around the world. Then in July of 2015 after a trip to India they decided to go overland instead.
Two years after the arrival of their two 10 ton British Army Layland D.A.F. trucks, they have finally departed the UK, heading East to Mongolia! They expect to be on the road for 18 months before heading back to the UK to visit family and friends, service their trucks and head for Africa for a two year overland trip.
