Author Information

Since 1982 I’ve undertaken over fifty expeditions or tours through the Sahara from Egypt to the Atlantic by motorcycle, 4×4, M.A.N truck, Mercedes saloon car, bush taxi and with camel caravans. All this has enabled me to gain an unparalleled knowledge of the practicalities of desert travel across the entire Sahara both as a tourist, a driver, rider, trekker and as a tour leader. My books, Sahara Overland, Adventure Motorcycling Handbook (‘AMH’), Overlanders’ Handbook and Morocco Overland have frequently been described as ‘bibles’ for adventurous overland travel. Indeed, in 1997 I was the first to coin the term ‘adventure motorcycling’ to describe overland travel by motorcycle and which has since become the name for a best-selling genre of ‘SUV’ motorcycles.
