Read the Book: We Will be Free
It was a scorching hot day last summer at the Northwest
Overland Rally when I sauntered past a well-traveled Defender 130 with
dual roof top tents and a South African flag on the fender. Overland
events are rife with well-built vehicles, but all too few seem to have
actually been anywhere of interest. This Defender, covered in dust and
wearing the marks of many miles covered, was no show pony. After making a
couple curious orbits of the truck, a towering figure appeared with a
friendly wave and a cheery, “hello!”
Graeme and his wife Luisa, the affable owners of the Landy, were quick to give me a tour of their truck and over a handful of libations as the evening temps cooled, told me of their trip, a two-year lap of South America with their two kids. The more I learned of the Bell family, the more interested I became. After reading Graeme’s book, We Will be Free, I have become a regular follower of their travels and adventures.
