Fancy a social Gathering?

The Overland Community is nothing if it's not sociable! And to be honest Saul and I are as disappointed as anyone that there can't be an Overland Event in Oxford in 2026, but that's just how it is as we have too many other serious commitments.

However, we'll really miss you, so we've decided it would still be really great if we could all gather somewhere. Maybe an Overland Gathering?

So we've teamed up with Matt and Reece, AKA The Sidecar Guys, to create a gathering of like-minded travelling souls, and we really hope you'll come too!

Based around their new business venture, the fabulous Drift Cafe at Cresswell near Morpeth in Northumberland, this weekend is all about chilling, and enjoying fine food! We'll highlight the opportunities for sightseeing and fabulous riding in the area (on road and trails, guided or not), as well as the rich history and natural beauty of the North East, so you can make your own day's entertainment. Or you might choose to just hang out on site and natter about your last trip with friends old and new whilst eating yourself silly.

In the evenings, we'll come back together for good food and fine Overland Ales, and compare notes on the day, whether you've been watching Puffins, exploring trails in Kielder Forest, or reliving the past in a castle.

Ticket price will include Thursday's dinner and a massive banquet on Saturday night in the Motofreight Marquee, showcasing local produce and the quality of the chefs at the Drift Cafe.

The Overland Gathering is deliberately restricted in size so if you like the sound of it, DO NOT DELAY when tickets go on sale, as we anticipate it will sell out very quickly indeed.
