Made the local trip to the Landrover Owners Show at Shepton Mallet. A great experience all round – seemed to be badly publicized though, many of the traders there saying it was too quiet. And I found it very hard to get any info on it too! But once there it was superb, great fun, loads of old gear and army surplus Jerry cans etc, Landrover tents, parts, LR branded gear and huge variety of vehicles on show and driving around the big Bath and West Showground site. The Off Road course hosted and mashalled by XtremeOffRoad was great fun to watch as variously-equipped Landy’s went through the mud…

‘Keynsham Camels’… Camel Trophy Defender HiCap
Spotted this unusual Landrover on the off road course at the LRO show at Bath & West Showground: It’s a Camel Trophy vehicle – a Defender 110 High Capacity Pickup (HCPU) and all set up for Adventuring! More background and pictures here on this unusual Camel Trophy HiCap. According to the site it’s one of only 3 HiCaps used as Camel Trophy vehicles – one for example was specially built “to carry a dismantled raft on which the Camel Trophy convoy was able to cross rivers and lakes”!
