The Roverlanders, British Columbia's Land Rover club, celebrated 75 years of Land Rover on September 2nd at their annual Founders Day event. Held at the Chilliwack Heritage Park in Chilliwack, BC, the event featured 73 Land Rovers that covered almost the entire breadth of the history of the brand.

Destination Defender, Land Rover's in-house celebration of all things Defender, is back in 2023. This year, the event heads to Somerville, Texas, conveniently located between Houston and Austin. The weekend promises off-roading, camping, music, workshops, food, and an evening celebration of the Defender Service Award winners.

Once again, we've asked Willow Riston to give her perspective on a Land Rover club event. Willow is a twelve-year-old Land Rover enthusiast, who grew up around Rovers with her father, Eric Riston, Atlantic British's Senior Retail Sales Representative and Land Rover Club Liaison.

Hello, I’m Willow, the newest ROVERLOG writer on the Atlantic British team. I've been tapped to cover the 75th Diamond Jubilee at Greek Peak from a kid’s point of view. My dad went to the 50th anniversary and told me all about it, so I was really excited. My dad and I have been working on his Series truck for many a weekend and had gotten it all put together just for this event -- and for more in the future!

Over a thousand Land Rover enthusiasts from all corners of North America gathered in mid-June at Greek Peak Ski Resort in Cortland, New York to celebrate Land Rover's 75th anniversary -- the largest gathering of enthusiasts on this continent in many years. With a lineup of legendary Land Rover personalities in attendance, almost every type of Land Rover from a lights-behind-the-grille Series I to the newest Defenders, and enthusiasts from over a dozen Land Rover clubs, the Diamond Jubilee event was an epic way to celebrate our beloved four-by-four marque.

Presidents' Day Weekend brought the annual Maine Winter Romp, with over a hundred Land Rovers descending on Benton, Maine to wheel on the Sebasticook Millennium Green. This event, running constantly since the mid-1990s, is managed by long-time Land Rover enthusiast Bruce Fowler, who has -- with the help of a devoted group of volunteers -- turned "Romp" from a small gathering to one of North America's largest Land Rover events. This year, we're sharing the event from the perspective of Willow Riston, a 12-year-old off-road enthusiast who has been wheeling with her father, Atlantic British's Senior Retail Sales Representative Eric Riston, since she was ten months old.

Land Rover turns 75 in 2023, with celebrations scheduled around the world. The Association of North American Rover Clubs (ANARC), a new organization that unifies Land Rover clubs across the United States and Canada, is putting on a Diamond Jubilee event at Greek Peak Ski Resort in Cortland, New York, from June 14-17, 2023. Tickets are now available for a long weekend of Land Rover fun.

Land Rover brought the Defender lifestyle to New York's Hudson Valley on November 12-13. Destination Defender was a weekend-long celebration of all things Land Rover, tying together everyone from long-time club enthusiasts to first-time buyers.

It’s easy to assume that the Rubicon Trail would be an overrated experience. It’s the most iconic off-road trail in America, the hub of West Coast rock crawling culture, an iconic trim line on a “lesser 4x4,” and the wistful dream of every serious off-roader. Could it really be that great when it’s become entirely saturated in the 4x4 world? Over four days with the Northern California Land Rover Club on their annual “Rovicon” event, my answer is the opposite: the Rubicon is one of the most underrated and authentic off-road experiences in America.

The overland world has exploded in the past few years, turning what was once just fancy backcountry car camping into one of the outdoor industry’s most significant segments. It’s also generated a large community - a multi-marque group of off-road camping enthusiasts. One of the longest-standing establishments connecting this community is the Overland Adventure Rallies, a series of three events in the USA and Canada.

In 2010, some Canadian adventure motorcycle enthusiasts planned an informal rally across Eastern Ontario, which they dubbed the Roaming Rally. Twelve years later, the tenth running of the event brought forty 4x4s of all marques and forty motorcycles together to explore a network of idyllic backcountry roads within spitting distance of Canada’s national capital.

Spring is here, and that means that the Land Rover events season is back in full swing. On the East Coast, you can always count on the Rover Owners Association of Virginia (ROAV) to do two things at an event: draw a great crowd and throw a good party. Their annual spring event, Rovers at Wintergreen (RAW), was a tour de force of both.

The Spring Robesonia Trials held by the R.O.V.E.R.S. Club in the Mid-Atlantic region were last weekend in Robesonia, Pennsylvania. The trials happen twice a year, in the spring and fall, and pit local Rover owners against each other in as test of skill and the agility on the trail.

The classic Maine Winter Romp Rover event used to be on my personal regular schedule. The last time I went and actually went off-roading was in 2009. Boy, have times changed since then! Winter Romp 2022 was a new era of this iconic event, one of the largest Land Rover gatherings in North America.

After a year like no other in so many ways, Oxford, one of the world's most-travelled Land Rovers, said farewell to its 2020 American adventure at Cape Hatteras, the easternmost point of the North Carolina coast.

It has been a long spring, and there was no better way to shake the spiders out of my sanity and my truck's transfer case shifter than a socially-distant off-road run with Land Rover friends. When the opportunity arose to have a fun, safe trail ride in Western Maryland with the Land Rover Owners of Maryland and Baltimore Rovers club groups, I decided it was time to break out of my rut, pack my variety of face coverings, and hit the trail.
