Land Rover Owner International Show 2023 at Belvoir Castle, near Grantham, Leicestershire, United Kingdom. Saturday 9th September 2023.

 

 

About the photograph.

 

Those two are heavily customised Land Rover Defender 4x4 modified for extreme off-roading. I have no idea what kind of engine they got, and I don’t have much information about them, as I didn’t get a programme for this event.

 

Seen in the photo, they are showing off their off-roading abilities over some kind of a mock up rough terrain, during a live display show in the arena. The one at the back is seen going on a seesaw, a balancing beam.

 

 

About the day.

 

In the early morning, I woke up, got ready, and took a three hours drive to Belvoir Castle, but that morning was already very warm, with a cloudless sky and the sun beating down on the land.

 

By the time I got there, I was already feeling very hot. I worn light coloured t-shirt, lightweight trousers, and a lot of sun cream, plus plenty of water.

 

Sadly, after about a couple of hours, I became a bit overheated in the burning sky, there weren’t much shades around, and it was kind of a heatwave of some sort.

 

So I had to give up, and return home to avoid getting a heat stroke, I only took like about 400 shots, and that was all I could manage.

 

When I got home, I had to have a cool down and a rest, and thankfully managed to stay well.

 

 

 

Land Rover Owner International Show.

 

Land Rover Owner, often abbreviated as LRO, is a British monthly magazine for Land Rover enthusiasts, published by a company based in Peterborough. The full title is often Land Rover Owner International.

 

It first started in July 1987 by a group of East Anglian businessmen, and was a mainly black and white 40 pages magazine. By the mid-1990s, it was bought by a publishing group, and became one of the popular Land Rover magazines.

 

The Land Rover Owner International Show is a yearly event ran by the magazine, and usually during the weekend in September. It features many various Land Rover vehicles on display, and includes an action arena for Land Rover drivers to display their driving skills.
