TRAVELIN'MAN
Chris Scott, B.ritish-bom Saharan adventurer, has just released his two companion books Desert Travels and Desert
Biking: A Guide to Independent Motorcycling in the Sahara from Whitehorse
Press. In Desert Travels, Scott recounts
many of the challenges he experienced
crossing the Sahara more than six times
in the last two decades - not bad considering his first trip ended decisively with
an empty gas tank and a vow never to
return. If this sounds like your idea of
fun, Desert Biking should prove an
invaluable aid for planning your own
ultimate off-road adventure. You will be
advised on how to choose equipment
and maintain a suitable bike, as well as
getting full details on satellite navigation, survival, personal health: itineraries, related publications and resources,
and contact information for embassies,
repair shops, and insurance carriers in
North and West Africa. For more information or for a free catalog, contact
