Some very slight edge wear to top and bottom of covers and spine, spine uncreased, tiny bending to front corners, promo bookmark tipped in, no other i…nscriptions, no published price, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy, looks unread. 305pp, illustrated. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to chuck it all in and do something completely different? One night over a few beers, Sam Manicom decided to ride a motorcycle the length of Africa. A mad idea? A mid life crisis? Or a world of opportunity opening up. There was just one obstacle, he didn't know how to ride a motorcycle, and if he was going to make it through the Sahara before the months of intense summer heat hit, he had just 3 months to learn, and get across Europe to Egypt. Travelling southwards through fourteen African countries between Cairo and Cape Town, this is the story of an enlightening, yet demanding journey. You'll feel the pain, sweat with him, but you'll also laugh with him as he describes the many situations that Africa and its people place in front of him. Some countries were torn by civil war, with the politics of others placing challenges in his way. Bribery and corruption hit with additional tests but Sam soon found that these aspects did not drown out the joy and the beauty of the land. He quickly finds that though Africa is as challenging a continent to travel as he'd expected, the ever changing scenery, the historical surprises and the humour of the people are his strongest memories. Taking side turnings and dirt roads he gets off the beaten track through some of the world's most dramatic landscapes, to places where little has changed for hundreds of years. His motorcycle gives him the freedom to explore that he'd hoped for and readers will soon find that this is a book filled with opportunities. The phrase 'Every day an Adventure' was coined for this 22000 mile journey. Sam lives in a remote village, escapes a bush fire, encounters animals in the wild, climbs a mountain, and whether he's being shot at or knocked unconscious while riding across the Namibian desert, this eye opening and uplifting tale catapults you into Africa. It's a story that's upfront with the mishaps, dust, heat and the thrill of overlanding. Sam's perceptions of people, places and predicaments have real depth and texture, and their associated sights, smells and sounds are evoked with a natural ease. Woven between the descriptions are tips and suggestions for future Africa Overlanders. Scarce signed. Covers by Fil Schiannini & Chris Woodham (illustrator). Signed by Author(s).
