Land Rover Owner International Show 2023 at Belvoir Castle, near Grantham, Leicestershire, United Kingdom. Saturday 9th September 2023.
About the photograph.
This is the aftermath of the photo (File: 2023009-0249) seen here:
The Land Rover Defender seen upside down, had been heavily modified for extreme off-roading, with roll bars, modified suspension system, and rugged looking tyres (tires).
As part of a live show, this Land Rover with a few others similar modified Defenders, was doing a showcase of their off-roading capabilities, by going over an artificial rough ground and also by speeding around the arena.
Here, this one must’ve turned too fast, and the driver lost control, then the Land Rover flipped over a few times before landing on its roof. As you can see, the driver and the co-driver are both fine and well.
They are seen preparing to turn their vehicle back up on its feet. The plan is to attract a cable to their own Defender, and the other end is attached to the winch on another Land Rover. It is a simple case of the other Land Rover pulling this one upright.
The weather was very hot, even thought it was September, it was as hot as a July weather, and there was a lot of heat haze, which would need a lot of dehazing setting, but I thought to convert it into black and white for a dramatic feel to the action.
About the day.
In the early morning, I woke up, got ready, and took a three hour 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 wore 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.
