Title: Calgary Social Gathering - This Monday
Post by: JohnnyO on November 30, 2024, 01:09 PM
Hey guys,  I met a couple from the UK traveling through Canada in their Puma 110. I'm going to join them on Monday evening in Calgary to hear about their adventures and hopefully give them some local intel on our area and offer assistance with some clutch issues that need attention. Let me know if you're interested. More details on location and timing to come. Watch this space!

We're rescheduling to Wednesday evening.  The UK folks need to work on their clutch as a priority.

Maddy110 and I had a great time hearing the couple's storey.  They bought a stripped down TDCi three door 110 surplussed from a UK utility company and built it up for overlanding. They shipped it to Halifax in July and have travelled all across Canada including up to Tuktoyaktuk. Locally they spent time in the Ghost area and Porcupine Hills PLUZ. Now they are heading south through the States and on to Mexico, Central America and South America.  Very interesting and so inspiring!
