TUCKS’ TRUCK OVERLANDING THE WORLD IN AN IVECO DAILY 4×4 Menu Skip to content * Home * Latest News! * Truck and Kit * Overland Planning * Videos and Photos * Route Maps * Contact * FAQs * Europe * Africa * Antarctica * The Americas * Timeline * Story Boxes * Starlink GREETINGS! Hello and welcome to our web-blog-thing about our overlanding travels around the world in Cuthbert the Truck. We’re getting lots of questions about our truck, travels and plans. “Okay…”, we thought,”we’ll join the 21st Century world of inter-webbery to update anyone who is curious”. SO WHAT’S IT ABOUT??? Well… it’s about us, overlanding in our camper-truck: our planning, our routes, our adventures and particularly our trusty-truck (better known to his friends as Cuthbert). Cuthbert is a big, blue, off-road expedition-truck, on an Iveco Daily 4×4 chassis. It was converted for us by Bocklet in Germany, based on their Dakar 630 model (see nice picture above ). He has certainly stood the test of time on the road! HOW DID WE GET TO OVERLANDING??? In 2024 you find us finally (after 10 years of full-time overlanding around the world) back in Europe, doing a cold winter in Scandinavia. But it all started way back in December 2013. After 5 years working in Doha, Qatar, we went back to UK to spend January getting Cuthbert registered in UK and fitting him out with our kit. In Feb/Mar 2014 we did a short Europe trip to test the new truck, an exercise which would obviously not have been complete without a thorough checking of the heating and insulation with a bit of ski-time in the Alps. > “Because nobody ever looked back and wished they’d spent more time at work. > And there’s no point being the richest body in the graveyard” By April 2014 we were ready for the first ‘proper’ overlanding adventure: an amazing year touring the not-so-dodgy bits of Africa. We explored, sampled a few local wines and beers, watched a few animals, saw some nice scenery and reported the adventures on these very inter-web pages with our Africa Blog. We spent summer 2015 back in Europe, then in October 2015 sailed with Cuthbert to Montevideo for a wander around the Americas. Over 2016/17 the South America Blog story emerged and in February 2018 we moved north, overlanding into Central America and Mexico. In September 2019 we crossed the Rio Grande into the good ol’ US of A, then in March 2020 we crossed into glorious Canada just in time for the world lock-down. After skiing our socks-off over winter 2020/21, we spent 2021/22 roaming USA and Canada from coast to coast and completing the PanAmerican Highway all the way up to Alaska and the Arctic Ocean.

We have tried to make the stuff interesting from 3 main perspectives: * For those planning similar overlanding, you may want to peruse ‘Choosing the Truck’ and ‘Planning an Overland Trip’ * If you are a techie-geek and want to know more about Cuthbert, his specification, kit and technical issues, and preparing for overlanding travels you may be captivated by ‘Truck and Kit‘ (or maybe our latest addition… ta-daaah… a shiny new SpaceX Starlink satellite dish with Starlink for Overlanders ) * For those just curious about our overlanding adventures, take a wander into our pages for ‘Europe’, ‘Africa’, ‘South America‘, ‘Central America‘ and ‘North America‘. Or maybe Antarctica? Or the Galapagos Islands? How about Easter Island? The update frequency of the site is likely to be patchy (based on our travel progress – which is slow during Covid – and our general enthusiasm for generating content ) , but we will add material when there’s something to say. As will be evident as you read on, our web-page creation skills are also ‘a work in progress’, but we are learning as we go along! WHERE ARE CUTHBERT’S OVERLANDING FOLLOWERS? Way back at the five year point of this website, we were gob-smacked to see that our overlanding site received visits from… wait for it… 183 countries around the world! Wowser!!! As they say… it’s a ‘global village’ out there! Thanks to everyone that has taken the time to have a look at our stuff (these hits can’t all be from our families ) and particular thanks to everyone who has contacted us by Instagram, Facebook or email via the Contact Page. If you feel the urge to drop us a line, we’d be really chuffed to hear from you. Note: This is a purely non-commercial website and we accept no sponsorship, advertising or guest writers/bloggers.

Nothing too unusual about that... anyone can 'rough-it' out there... we decided to have a go at 'over-landing in a bit of comfort'. Hope you enjoy the story.
