I would like to see some of the footage from Across the Top by Malcolm Douglas. I too remember the Leyland Brothers visiting my school in the 1970s it was an event that inspired my respect for Land Rovers.
Malcolm Douglas made Across the Top I think in the 1960s it was a fantastic testimony of the strength of early Land Rovers.

I remember both of them.......






Am I really that old?

i remember the show

The jardine was in flood, with a winch line attached to the other side one of the landies was winched across the river by the other with a snatch block, the oils were replaced as was the fuel in the tank and the trip to the cape was completed, returning in the same fashion. my oldest memory of landrovers.

Who remembers this EARLY SEVENTIES.

I was an impressionable adolescent....they are responsible for my purchase of Land Rover in my middle age-mid life crisis...I got the red sports car out of my system early.
