Originally, I had pretty open ideas about what form the BA (Big Adventure) would take. Up there was a motorcycle trek across a continent. There is something uniquely special about adventuring on 2 wheels, but this BA is not just mine, but also belongs to Mrs E, who has bravely "adopted" the dream. The prospect though of sleeping in a tent and having a fraction of the luggage capacity meant the bike option will have to wait for another adventure. I can't say I'm upset, as 4WDing comes in a close 2nd in my list of adventurous pursuits.
So I set about turning Harry (the Land Rover) into the most luxurious home we could manage, given the Disco's space limitations and our very limited budget! Given that I have a dislike of wood-working in general, mainly due to poor skills (don't ask to see the shelf we made out of an old pallet!), I'm pretty proud of the result! There are still some finishing touches to be had, but it's almost ready to head out into the wilds.
I didn't think pictures quite did it justics, so we've put together a short video of the main features (plus a few photos below):
