Thank You for Attending

Three days of trails, a bean-hole supper, and the best of the New England rover community — deep in the Maine woods. We're still grinning.

2027 Bean Pot Rally — date coming soon

From all of us

It took a whole community to fill the Green with Rovers.

To everyone who towed in from across New England, every volunteer who marked a trail, ran the kitchen, staffed the gate, or pulled a stuck truck out of the Pit of Despair — thank you. The inaugural Bean Pot Rally was everything we hoped a first year could be, and that's entirely down to you. Five clubs, one Green, and a weekend we won't forget.

Thank You to Our Speakers

One day, two extraordinary journeys. We were honored to host them on the ridge.

The Last Overland

From Singapore to London in a 60-year-old Series I — retracing the original 1955 Oxford & Cambridge Far Eastern Expedition in reverse. Alex brought the dust, the breakdowns, and the romance of the long way home.

Oxford in America

Keeper of "Oxford" — the very Series I, registration SNX 891, that crossed half the planet in 1955. David's fireside chat traced the truck's American chapter and the long work of keeping a legend on the road.
