The Rover-Landers of BC

Roy and Michelle are in the process of travelling around the world (for the second time but in the northern Hemisphere) in their 130 defender camper. They have already covered some 58K km and plan on doing many, many more. Currently Trevor Myler is hosting them at his home near Edmonton, where they are fitting an Espar coolant and Espar Air heater, for their Russian leg of the tour. The Alberta Land Rover Enthusiasts were fortunate enough to have the come and chat with our members at their monthly "Gathering" and it was a both a delight and fascinating to listen to them speak of the First world tour around the southern Hemisphere, as well as their current tour. The will be leaving the Edmonton area in the next few days and making their way to Vancouver and the Island, via Jasper and Banff and then across the TransCanada. Their goal is to average no more then 120km a day, so they can experience their host country on on foot as well as from the seat of the Defender. If you would be interested in visiting with them (or better yet..hosting them) you can contact them via their website at http://www.mundoporterra.com.br/contato/.

Have a read about them.....I'm sure you will be thrilled to share their travels ;-)

We may be able to host them for a few days here in Chilliwack. I will have to check with my wife on the family schedule first. This is my email to them:

Hello Roy and Michelle,

I am a member of the British Columbia Land Rover club living in Chilliwack, British Columbia. Chilliwack is about 100 km in the Fraser Valley outside of Vancouver. We hear from the Edmonton Land Rover club that you will be passing through Vancouver on the way to Vancouver Island. I would love to meet with you and welcome you to our fine city in Vancouver. Please let us know of your schedule and approximate dates of when you may be in the Vancouver area.

My mobile tel is .

Safe travels,
Andrew Goh

Just heard from them via email. They will be here in around 10 days. I offered my place to them to stay for a few days. I have not received a confirmation.

Would anyone like to meet them? Or perhaps a club event if their schedule allows it?
