The Land Rover Discoverys 22nd Birthday Weekend.

Welcome to the only website dedicated to the Land Rover Discovery's Birthday Weekend, held in and around the Plymouth area on the middle weekend of October. This years event; 2011 took place on the 15th and 16th of October. The weekend, as well as recreating (albeit on a smaller scale) and celebrating the Discoverys launch, was about the bringing together and the meeting of like-minded Discovery owner / drivers. To explore the local countryside, there was plenty of opportunity to sight see and to raise money for a couple of charities. Best of all with the exception of food, fuel and accommodation it was free.

LATEST UPDATE 19.10.11 The organisers of this weekend, Lee and Ian, would like to say a big thank you to everyone who turned up to support this event. It was really nice to meet new people and to catch up with old friends. The whole weekend was a great success with us raising just over £550 for Shelterbox UK and Devon and Cornwall 4x4 Response. A special thank you goes to Roy and Margaret Preston for bringing one of the launch vehicles G526 WAC all the way down to Plymouth. Fridays greenlaning went really well, a big thank you to Knobby and Gary for putting the route together and navigating us around the very scenic route. I hope that everyone got home safely and that we'll see you again next year.
