In this very special episode, Martin and Steve are joined by world renowned Land Rover photographer, enthusiast, LRM contributor and all-round nice chap Nick Dimbleby for the low-down on his recent adventure across the Himalayas in his newly-acquired Freelander 1. Nick tells the boys all about how he came to buy his Borrego Yellow beauty, what it needed to get ready for its big adventure to India and how the trip went itself, from bustling city streets to steep off-road climbs and getting a bit hot under the collar thanks to a cracked coolant header tank. Nick's epic adventure piece can be found in the March 2026 issue of Land Rover Monthly, so don't miss it – the driving and scenery have to be seen to be truly appreciated.
