February 15 - 18, 2008

The Maine Winter Romp is an informal annual gathering of Land Rover owners and enthusiasts hosted by Bruce Fowler. Set in and around Benton, Maine over Presidents' Weekend, Maine Winter Romp provides a non-competitive opportunity to test your Rover and driving skills in conditions that can be extreme.

The event has grown into the largest winter gathering of Land-Rovers in the Northeast—maybe even the country. The event is generally non-damaging (though of course accidents can happen) and is open to drivers of all skill levels. (Novices will find supportive coaches in our midst—just ask.)

There is no charge for the event itself, but the group does meet and eat at various local establishments during the event. Winter Romp is not affiliated with any Land-Rover Club, but clubs are invited to participate.

We have been busy opening new trails for this year's event and we will be dividing into more groups of fewer vehicles each. Trail conditions are being closely monitored and we will help you to choose an appropriate group on Saturday morning.

New and returning Rompers alike are asked to review the revised Winter Romp Attitude and Required Equipment pages. Please pre-register so we know how many to expect.
