Caravan of 4x4s Carapateira West Coast Portugal

[Mojo]

Just seeing if anyone on the forum knew of this UK plated 4x4 group I passed today near the west coast beach of Carapateira in Portugal. There was nobody in them, perhaps they had all walked down to the beach. Lead vehicle was a Landcruiser...the rest mainly LRs with one stickered as Surrey 4x4 Response.

Yup, that's pete and Jo, leading an Atlas Overland trip. In his new Troopy


Went with them to Iceland in July.

Sensible chap, stay out in front in case bits drop off or they break down, slick oil, that sort of thing…[emoji6]

Hi Charlie,
Yes, that was us! En route to Cabo Sao Vicente. We'd gone for a stroll down to the cliffs.
Sorry we missed you.
We'll be taking the group back to Santander tomorrow and then picking up our second group. Then we've got our final tour of the season to Morocco. First desert trip with the new truck!

Happy trails,

Peter

Keep your eye out for us Peter. A convoy of Cruisers in full flight shouldn't be too hard to spot! Mind you we're going to be best part of two days behind you

Hi Chris,
We're heading to Santander to meet the 1730 arrival on Saturday 17th. Which ferry are you on?

Ahh, in that case were actually two weeks in FRONT of you. When you said 'then we've got our final tour ...' I took that to mean immediately.

 

[Pete Girling]

Ahh, confusion reigns!
We're in Santander on the 17th to meet our Morocco group, but we're in Santander this Saturday 3rd to meet our next Portuguese group off the 1730 ferry.
Clear as mud!

Nice truck Pete, I hope you and Jo are keeping well. Safe travels to all who are off having fun (very envious!).
