One of the things we enjoy most of all is off-roading in our Landcruiser HZJ73.
Because it is getting more and more difficult to do this legally in the Netherlands, we often go abroad.
In these cases we tend to take advantage of the possibilities off-road travel organizations offer.
Organizations like the 4WD-Travelclub and off course we are members of the Dutch LandcruiserClub.
But there are many more organizations in this area, like Kola-Travel or Impala Adventures .
Usually we have a combination of a caravan-journey and an off-road trip.
We than use our caravan (trailer) as our main facility and leave it in storage at a camp site during off-roading.
In October 2002 we made an off-road trip to the Tunisian Sahara. You can read about it on the pages Tunisia 2002. (sorry, in Dutch only)(last update December 16, 2006).
You now can also find a trip-report about our journey to the Kola peninsula in Russia we did August/September 2005. If you just want to look at some photo's and no comment at all: Yes?

I enjoy wrenching (the Landcruiser!!), messing around on my computer, knocking together electronic parts ( in Dutch!), working with wood or metal or geocaching.
When travelling to a certain area and having the intention to go out for geocaching over there, I get the relevant caches out of the Geocaching site database and store them in my own database I've build using GSAK.
As a user of GSAK you can find
great help on the
To see my caching results untill now, look here here and the locations of these caches you can see here more detailed on the map.
A general overview of countries I found caches is this image:
During all our trips en obviously during geocaching we use the GPS-system. Our equipment is very basic. A Garmin Geko 301 is the most important, but we use a Mio 168 Digiwalker with build-in GPS and the OziExplorer (OziCE) software as well. Recently a TomTom Rider was added. The Garmin and Mio were bought in 2004/2005 and are outdated by todays standard, but we get out it what we need so why replace them? The Tomtom is meant to be used on the motorbike but it's used in the car as well every now and then. Want to know more about the GPS-system? Click on the image below.
