No.2 Landy Highlight of 2025 - Picking up the famous aSLAn in France with .worx. What a dream come true, being able to take custody of such an historic vehicle. Keen to see it back on the road.
Currently in Belgium plotting and planning its future! 🇧🇪

No.1 Landy highlight of 2025 - Using Shepherd, our 1953 Land Rover Series 1 80” as our wedding vehicle. Nearing 8 years after the second photo was taken back in 2017, when we bought it as our first restoration project. One that will never leave the family ☺️💍

Hej Everyone! 🙌

You might’ve wondered where we’ve been… Well, last February, during a winter trip in Scandinavia, we bought a place in Sweden! And not just a little red house in the middle of nowhere… We bought an old Ford dealership. Why? Because we’re expanding and moving our new business, ! SMET WORKS will be the ultimate pit-stop when travelling the great north, from Land Rover parts & accessories to Camping equipment… We’re really excited to welcome everyone on our new location in Bengtsfors, Sweden, very soon! 🇸🇪🗺️

Today Jess and I met up with our friend Noah () for a fantastic lunch at Cobbles Cafe in Alston!

Followed by some of his local greenlanes, which turned out to be very challenging for the little Freelander! I got it into some very interesting angles, bottoming out from time to timd and lifting wheels. BUT most importantly, it made it all the way down. Following a Defender 90 and a Discovery 3!

I can’t get enough of it! 😄🙌

Just had a fantastic day greenlaning with the whole Jackson family! Sharon, Glenn and James in the Discovery followed by me, Jess and Kayden in the Freelander! 😊

Fantastic weather, nice muddy lanes and stunning views! The best of Northumberland! 🌳🚜

We were all, once again, really impressed by the Freelander (driver’s) capabilities… Climbing up and descending down any hill or rut… What a machine! 💪🏼 The Discovery made everything look way too easy, like always! 😄

Day 14! - Bäckefors, SE 🇸🇪 -> Gränna, SE 🇸🇪

After a -10’C cold start, we left the snowy forest and headed towards Vättern, one of the two big lakes in south Sweden. We got the tip from Martin Hagberg to check out Gränna, and we found a lovely AirBnB nearby… With a stunning view over lake Vättern! Beautiful! 😍

Day 13! - Bengtsfors, SE 🇸🇪

A quick grocery trip through winter wonderland to Bengtsfors… Spotted a lovely Defender 110 in the town centre, so there are Land Rover’s here! 😄

We don’t want to jynx anything, but to think that this might be our future home, and future home of , is very very exciting! What a stunning place. Not only in winter, but also in summer. 😍

Day 9, 10 and 11! - Bäckefors, SE 🇸🇪

We’re loving our time here in Dalsland, we’ve been visiting Bengtsfors every day and are falling in love with the place.
The fear of slippery patches of ice is still in the back of our heads, but it’s slowly fading with every kilometer we drive. 🐌

We’re also realising how lucky we were, especially how well the RRC handled being plopped on its side! After a conversation with Phil, who knows these vehicles from his time working with them in Switzerland. We concluded that the rigid and strengthened ambulance body played a big part in keeping everyone safe. 🚑

Day 6! - Köpmannebro, SE 🇸🇪 -> Ön its Syde, SE 🇸🇪

Well, today was interesting… From being saved by the Range Rover, to saving to the Range Rover… 🫣

We’re all okay, just a bit shook up, the RRC is back on its wheels and driving again. Full inspection tomorrow, but it seems like it only suffered from a few dents, broken mirror and a broken bottle of wine! 😇

Sudden ice ruts on the road, rear end followed the wrong ruts. Car spun and clipped the snow bank and tipped. All happend very quick… I was driving behind it and saw it all happen, thankfully we got help from locals and we were driving within the hour! 🚜

Day 5! - Bengtsfors, SE 🇸🇪

Today we went back to Silverlake Campsite near Bengtsfors, a place we visited regularly back in the early 2000’s! Incredible coming back here 20 years later… in winter! 😄

After tackling some icey roads we made it to the Bengtsfors town centre, where we met up with the local real estate agent to look at a property, not far from where we first fell in love with Sweden… 😊
