I was wondering if someone was doing some trip in the christmas holiday period, not the whole period...but a day, or a couple of days. Im very keen on meeting some G enthousiasts and take my new baby on a trip. Anywhere in europe is fine!
thx,
G

I know a few people are going to north africa but most of those are multi-week trips. Assuming I still have my G by then then I might be interested in a little European trip.

Re: Offroading/greenlaning in the christmas holiday.

I was planning to go to morocco, but I decided that i want to spend x-mas with my family this year...
So I'm looking for some adventure on the other days...
Wales? Scotland? Sierra Nevada? Sweden in the snow? Poland?
There must be great offroading in Europe too? C'mon guys!

We have great offroading in Latvia(I think there was comfortable ship Hamburg-Ventspils), not so far from Poland, if you are interested... Some local offroad partys are every weekend/month... :) we don`t have mountains, but we have lot of untouched woods and swamps... :)

Now in Lv weather: http://www.4x4klubs.lv/2009/10/kurland-trophy-1-diena-by-tolx/ (last stage of local championship in grand tourism two weeks ago). In this month we have already two great offroading partys scheduled. Till new year maybe I will have w460, thinking to sell w463 because I`m interested more in offroading.... :)
If you are interested to visit, no problem to welcome you... :)

I might be interested in doing something as Im not working over the Christmas period. Who is going to Morocco, and is it an open invite?

Yea, maybe I scared you little bit too match with swamps :D Don`t worry, we have light tourism too(my G is standard too with cheap wheels)... :) In winter, if we will get minuses and snow(last spring was more snow then in winter), all swamps and woods will be frozen and then standard G is very good to drive offroading... :)
Btw, last weekend hard tourism fun video on youtube.
If you are interested in coming anytime, PM... :)

Poland is good, especially in the south-eastern region close to ukraine. But how about Spain? I always wanted to go there! Mortinson's photos look fantastic!
