Jeep Club Latvia outbreak - Ogre (Latvia)


Jeep Club Latvia organized outbreak to woodlands surrounding Ogre. There has not been such a severe winter in Latvia for a long time. More than 10 teams went out to test endurance of their Jeeps. They were met by temperature below -20oC (- 5oF) and snow layer of up to 80cm (2 2/3 feet) - a real challenge for any Jeep. Event started early morning and finished late night. One of WJ faced the biggest challenge, when broke through ice and survived more than 4 hours in a freezing water while literally was lifted out of the trap. By the way - all electronic systems are still functioning OK. Everybody returned home filled with positive emotions to start preparations for next Jeep Club Latvia event in February.

Jeepclub Austria Hungary Snowmobile Jeep tour

Image


Beginning of February 2010, Austrian and Hungarian Jeepclub members got together for a snowmobile Jeep Tour in Romania, with the Romanian-Hungarian border as the starting point for a discovery trip through Transylvania. The program consists of four days of activities in the snow:

  • Day 1 brought a complete day of quite intensive and tiring snowmobile driving, visiting mountains of up to 1700 meters of height.
  • Day 2 was a Jeep driving day, with visits to local museums in small villages, and a superb family dinner in the evening.
  • Day 3 was again a snowmobile day, but much more difficult as we travelled on snowmobiles routes who demanded frequented stops for resting, but were also big fun to drive.
  • Day 4, our final day, was a Jeep day full of off-roading on adventurous Transylvanian tracks. 

The trip was a big success, and we are looking forward to the another one next year!

Jeep Ecospedition Libya 2009

In the Spring of 2009, we decided to organize an expedition in true “Go Anywhere, do Anything” Jeep-style, intending to demonstrate how this adagio still holds in our modern society, and to show that there are still places on this earth where you need a true 4x4 to get to … Special care is taken to do this with a lot of respect for nature and local people, without the need to drive a super tuned 4x4 to accomplish this.

Goal of the expedition was the Akakus mountain range in Libya, a country of which we mostly know rather dark stories of it’s political leaders, and which is only slowly coming out of its international isolation. Our recon-missions, however, had shown us that the Libyans are very hospitable and that the landscapes are breathtaking.
