Welcome to The Sidetracked Sagas

We are Jen, James, Henry the Defender and BigMog the UniMog. We are the Sidetracked team.
In 2021 we embarked on the adventure of our lives, travelling the world with no timetable, no map and no rush. Our plan is to simply experience whatever life wants to throw at us, as remote and wild as we can find, and see what each day brings.
Henry is our trusty steed in Africa. For the rest of the world we are travelling in BigMog.
Most importantly, wherever we are in the world, whether in Henry or BigMog we are home. Everything we own is tucked inside or bolted to the outside. We are of no fixed abode, we are nomads.
We carry a satellite tracker which pings our location to a map once a day, tracking our route across the world.
Follow our adventures through our blog, photos and the map.
