ADVENTURE OVERLAND SHOW: 28-29 September 2013

Free stickers anyone?

www.adventureoverlandshow.com/#/free-stickers/4557708524

By the way, I shall have these stickers with me this coming Sunday 17th Feb. at Donington 4x4 Show.

Nice one, will you have any with you on Sunday?

John.

What a dick, I should have read your post properly.

This is the flyer for AO`13. Purposely desiged to be small - only 100mm x 100 (4" x 4") it is the ideal size for slipping into the pocket, leaving on the table of traders at shows, posting out alongside the stickers, etc.



And the sticker:-



Yes, you've sussed it ... Morocco in mind! It does however work equally as well for overlanders wherever they may roam.

Hey Dick - Forgot to say that the sticker is also quite small, the intention being that folk who normally may not usually have stickers on their vehicles just may be encouraged to do so. To have 'em too big is the kiss of death, subtle is better.

Latest bit of news ...

I've managed to establish yet another new attraction at the show, the latest I've called "Navigation Knowhow".

Not my words - well they are for I've just lifted them from the event website and I penned them just a few hours ago - but it's better than let me just waffle on -

Featuring all types of navigation from basic emergency situation 'where are we' type location-finding using the sun, via general mapping and topography utisiling roamers and hand-held compasses, through to expert advice on the very latest electronic GPS satellite software such as digital OS Discoverer Maps and Routable Open Street Maps. The latter will all be supported by online training and technical support, hence the NAVIGATION KNOWHOW attraction could rightly be described as the "first attraction of its type" to be seen at a major show here in the UK!!!

Backed up by a company called GPS Training (it's all in the name), I reckon this attraction could be a real winner.

Looking good!

May well look them up before the show as navigation is not my strong point, I can get lost on my way home from work

I'm a fully fledged member of the Wherethef**karewe club so I'll be there, if I can find it!!!!!!

Will have a look at their site, thanks Tom.

Used to tell that joke at school - the tribe of pygmies who lived in tall grass, so were forever jumping up, looking about and shouting "Wherethef**karewe?"

or ...

The African race who lived in amongst thorny bushes called the Oomegoolie tribe.

yea i like that...it will be good....

Now the showground is starting to take shape for AO`13, I've decided to make the Trade Plan available for viewing:-

www.adventureoverlandshow.com/#/trade-whos-attending-ao13/4557663784

Once the link opens, scroll down a touch to find the A0`13 TRADE PLAN button. If you bear in mind that all the walkways are 3m wide minimum (the main ones being 4m), this way you'll get an idea of scale.

Resulting in my excursion to Germany, due in no small part to Wideformat/Tembo/Mr & Mrs Yoda staffing the joint 4x4 Overland Travel Forum/ADVENTURE OVERLAND SHOW pitch when I went AWOL, I have just had a Dutch company book up with not one but two 11m long expedition trucks.

Entitled Bliss Mobil - www.blissmobil.com - their beasts are awesome ... the stuff of dreams.

The show's growing folks!!!

Tom you really must try and get Ed March along for the seminars this young guy is inspirational, not content with sitting at home on his play station he goes off travelling all over the word on a Honda C90 no less.

His talks are both informative and very funny, I was lucky enough to catch part of his talk on his norkap trip, brilliant !!!!

Heard about this guy before. As you say, very funny by all accounts. Thanks for the heads up, I'll look into it.
