For those of you who live in the UK you will be very familiar with Trek Overland. It started on its journey over twenty years ago when adventure enthusiasts Tim Brennan and his wife, Clare started to build a vehicle for their own expeditions before setting up their hugely successful 4WD accessory businesses Trek Overland and Mobile Storage Systems.

The Trek Overland team initially started to import roof rack tents and developed their business at the picturesque Lund Court Farm, Nawton, near Helmsley in the UK where they also modified and in some cases, completely rebuilt high spec Land Rover expedition vehicles.Over the years Trek Overland developed an international reputation for building modified vehicles for well-known organisations and for famous documentaries including the very well-received Long Way Down television series starring Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman.They have also worked closely with internationally renowned organisations that include Born Free Foundation and the Land Rover Experience, to name but a few.

In recent years, the focus of the expanding Trek Overland team has evolved into becoming a retailer of high quality 4WD touring equipment which now includes the high quality and very popular Australian DARCHE range of camping and overlanding related products. Trek Overland are the UK’s /British Isles sole importer of DARCHE products, bringing these very much sought after products to the British Isles. As Clare said ‘’As a family business we have always associated ourselves with high quality products and that’s why they are delighted to be the UK distributors for DARCHE’’.

Trek Overland ltd has been built on the back of good old fashioned values shaped out of the atmosphere of a family business. With over 40 years of combined experience Trek Overland has developed into one of the leading and most trusted expedition preparation specialists in the UK, with a passion for all things Land Rover and 4×4, travel and off road.
