'Into Africa by Motorcycle - Everyday an Adventure'

This is the story of amazing Africa, its people and some very good reasons why
not to fall off a motorcycle.

Riding across fourteen countries from the island of Jersey to Cape Town, this eye
opening tale catapults you into Africa. Sam, a novice biker, breaks free from everyday
life and proves that dreams of adventure can be made a reality.

His plans don't always work out as they should, but every twist in the road leads him
to new challenges and surprises. The journey throws disaster in his way, seeing him
jailed in Tanzania and hit by a serious wipe out in Namibia. He lives in a remote
village, canoes a dug-out in Malawi, escapes a bush fire, and climbs a mountain. He
says, "Traveling on two wheels is the perfect way to explore a continent like this;
it's all about freedom, and the ability to take advantage of opportunity".

A special shine is given to this dream by the warmth and welcoming nature of
Africa's people; Sam's love of Africa glows from this book. The book is an
introduction to Overland Travel and will take you on a journey like no other.

'Mondo Enduro - The Adventure Diary'

This is the expedition that has inspired hundreds of others. Ewan McGregor certainly
learnt from watching the Mondo Enduro DVD. He avoided the Zilov Gap - the 392
mile section of Siberian tundra and swamp where Mondo Enduro ended up
man-hauling their bikes...

The classic Discovery Television series Mondo Enduro is at last published as a
paperback. Here you can experience first hand the joys and the agonies of riding the
ongest land route round the world, 44000 miles, in the shortest possible time.
Completely unsponsored and without backup, Mondo Enduro learnt their mistakes the
hard way, because they had no idea what they were doing.

Any of the three parts of Mondo Enduro would make an exciting book in its own right,
but here they are published together for the first time.

1. London to Magadan (Siberia)
2. Alaska to Chile
3. South Africa back home to London.

Sleeping in mud huts or under the stars; avoiding bandits from the Caucasus to Central
America, this is adventure motorcycling as it's meant to be - raw, super low budget
and above all fun.

The Mondo Enduro diaries were written on the road by:
Austin Vince, Louis Bloom, Mark Friend, Clive Greenhough, Bill Penty, Charles Penty,
Nicholas Stubley, and Gerald Vince.
The final book was edited by Austin Vince.
