Hello Everyone

This is my first post and I would like to introduce myself. My name is Willie, I am 40 years old, and I have been living in Dubai for almost two years. I am from South Africa and have also lived in Namibia for a few years. I have been off-roading and overlanding for more than 20 years and have travelled extensively in South Africa, Namibia and Botswana. My first vehicle was a 1977 Jeep CJ-7 which was, ironically, built under license by Volkswagen South Africa during those years. Although it was far from reliable, had no low range and was as thirsty as a camel, it gave me a taste of the off-road lifestyle and I was hooked. I have since had a number of different 4×4’s and have taken them into some of the wildest and most remote parts of Southern Africa.

Unfortunately I arrived in Dubai with a bad back injury which (temporarily) put a stop to our outdoor lifestyle, but luckily things have improved to a point where my wife and I can start getting back into camping. We recently purchased a Land Rover LR4.

I am looking forward to the discussions on this forum and, hopefully, will get to meet some like-minded friends.

Regards,

Willie
