So, you think you've got what it takes to survive an overland adventure? Join us for a weekend that will test your mettle, and your sense of humor, as we tackle 320km of roads and offroading that will make you question your life choices.

Event Highlights:

Self-Sufficiency: You better be ready to fend for yourself because we won't be holding anyone's hand. Remember to bring your own:

• Food (We hear roadkill is in season)
• Water (Or drink river water at your own risk)
• Fuel (Because Land Rovers)
• Camping gear (Or just sleep under the stars)
• Snacks (For those moments when you crave something that doesn't taste like dirt)
• Recovery equipment (In case you take an unplanned detour)
• Spare tire (Because flats are a given)
• Ensure your Land Rover is in good working order (Top Gear Rules may be applied?)
• CAA cards (You might need it, because Land Rover)
• Personal hygiene products (We can't promise you'll be smelling like roses)
• Bug spray (Don't expect nature to be polite)

Camping: Our secret government facility camping spot is as unserviced as it gets. If you can't handle roughing it, maybe this adventure isn't for you. And remember, wildlife isn't picky when it comes to leftovers, so secure your food or become a midnight snack.

Trail Maintenance: Expect some impromptu trail maintenance. Bring chainsaws because, apparently, storms love to mess with our trails. The more, the merrier – let's hope no one ends up with fewer limbs.

Communication: Safety first! Everyone should have a GMRS-compatible 2-way radio. The Motorola T600 is a shining example. You're welcome to choose any other model but make sure it's a 22 channel unit and has 2 watts of transmit power, or just scream loudly.

Good Vibes Only: We're just here for fun, folks! Bring your best dad jokes and a sense of humor as dry as the desert. This adventure is all about surviving with a smirk on your face.

Fuel Stops: There are only two fuel stops while in transit on the track and not that are particularily convenient side missions to get to. You better hope your Land Rover doesnt have a drinking problem because gas stations will be a rare sight.

Registration is Per Vehicle, No Limit on Passengers, Kids, and Dogs are Welcome

We're keeping things simple here – registration is per vehicle, and we don't care how many adventurers you cram inside that Land Rover of yours. Bring the kids, bring the dogs, heck, bring your neighbor's cat if it's up for it. But, let's be real, these days can get pretty darn long, and "the facilities" might as well be a mirage in the desert. So, use your best judgment, let's just say, "nature's call" takes on a whole new meaning out here.

Don't miss this chance to question your life choices, get your hands dirty, and bond with like-minded sarcastic souls. Space is limited because, let's be honest, not everyone is cut out for this kind of "fun." Book your spot now and prepare for an overland weekend that you'll either love or loathe, but definitely won't forget!
