The Adventure Travel Show boasts an extensive range of specialist travel seminars, and by popular demand is now hosting an ‘Adventure by Motorcycle’ seminar for the very first time.

This specialist seminar, taking place at The Adventure Travel Show 2015 at Olympia, is aimed at people who want to gain a better understanding about creating their own adventure by motorcycle, including the challenges and pitfalls that might be encountered and how to best deal with them. How do you prepare for such a trip? What type of bike, equipment and luggage should you take? What route and motorcycling hotspots should you visit? The pros and cons of doing it alone? How do you get the most out of the experience once on the trip? Join renowned and experienced motorcycle experts Austin Vince and Lois Pryce who have years of on ground experience and will offer essential guidance on preparation and logistics to ensure you get the most out of a self-organised motorcycle adventure.

Since 2003 she has motorcycled from Alaska to Argentina, from London to Cape Town, across the US, Europe and around Iran – all unsponsored and mainly solo.
