With Vince in Morocco


With Vince in Morocco
Originally uploaded by David Cushman.
This Photo was taken on April 2006 Moroccan adventure with Vince Cobley
and the LROAC during a short stop outside Zagora to swap info with
another group traveling the opposite way. Fabulous trip for anyone with
a Land Rover. The defender was in its element. Living in Basel in
Switzerland the chances of going offroad are very limited. Last summer
we did a Welsh Weekend with Vince and Ed and the Moroccan adventure was
a natural follow up.

Watty's made it to Northumberland. It must be time to start heading south for our intrepid Range Rover Sport driver.
Watch out for the feature in a forthcoming issue of LRO.

Breakfast at Lancaster Services

Stopped again. Now in Lancaster. First food since we left Strensham!

Watty is heading north towards Penrith this morning.

This is what 4.30 looks like at a service area - in this case it's Strensham Services on the M6.

Watty is heading north now having reached Devon and Cornwall yesterday.

Right now (8.35am) he's stopped for breakfast at Lancaster Services on the M6.

Watch out for the big green Range Rover Sport on its way up towards Penrith this morning.

Watch out for this man.

Neil Watterson will be driving around the country in a Range Rover Sport on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. He's going to be sending pictures and brief reports from his travels as instant updates from his phone throughout the trip (don't forget your charger Neil!).

So keep checking this blog for the latest and you'll know exactly where he is and what he's up to bang up to the minute (Mrs Watty, take note...)

First post

Welcome to Land Rover Owner's first blog. We'll maintain this as a team.
Today website editor (www.lro.com) David Cushman brings us up to date with progress towards a new site for LRO:

Hello, I'm hoping many of the visitors to this blog will be familiar with the lro.com website - mostly because there will be a link from our site to this.
To be honest, this is likely to be a fairly short-lived blog because when our new site launches later this month it will come equipped with blogs of our own.
Not only will the staff be able to use them to keep you up to date with our activities and Land Rovers, but our thousands of users will be able to create their own too.
You'll be able to contribute your own thoughts on your vehicles, places to go, events, products and news - plus rate other people's contributions.

I'm told we're just days away from completion of that part of the new site. We're also putting the finishing touches to a much improved forum - replicating much of what php bulletin boards do.

At the same time we're simplifying registration so one registration does it all - and if you are already registred with lro.com you won't need to register again when the new site goes live.

The office is fairly quiet today - Neil, Mark and JP are all in the workshop tinkering with project Disco. When we launch our own blogs on the new site we'll get regular updates on exactly that kind of thing.

Today on the site we've been updating our YouTube channel (lrotv) and now have 100 favourites added - plus 21 of our own videos. They've notched up close to 40,000 views now.
You'll find them at http://www.youtube.com/landroverowner


And we've been sorting out screen grabs for the company's annual awards bash.
