Jade Atkins and Alex Marsh, Wander Don't Wonder When machines fail, and humans prevail - Canada to Argentina on two motorcycles, how the HU network helped us to get back on the road and the amazing wonders we saw

We caught the bug for overland travel in Dalat, Vietnam, when we bought Betsy, a Honda Win 110cc. Neither of us had ever ridden a bike before, but, after a five minute lesson with the Vietnamese owner, we strapped our bags to Betsy and the journey began. Our beloved Betsy took us both with all our luggage 1700 miles from Dalat to Sapa with only one hiccup!

Since then, we attended HUBBUK twice and gained inspiration for our Americas trip! Last Christmas Alex surprised Jade with her very own motorcycle! Three months before leaving, Jade passed her motorcycle test, and didn't get too much practice in because of the rain in England.

From Canada to Argentina, we encountered a few problems, including a blown piston in the prairies of Canada, cracked engine case in the high deserts of California, numerous snapped clutches, a serious accident in Mexico City, an exhaust bodged back on with a jalepeno can and a lost crank plug bodged with a beer can in the Atacama desert to name a few. Plus, the amazing wonders seen across the vast continent of the Americas. No matter what the problem, humans always prevailed! Our presentation may sound scary, but we want to share our story to tell others that no matter how shit it gets, there's always someone there to help. Including a show and tell of bodges completed on Alex's moto if time permits.

We are Jade and Alex, both 25 years old from Worcester, UK. We met in our last year of school in 2007. In 2014 we made the decision to leave our life at home and explore India and Southeast Asia, which is where we caught the bug to wander and our love of exploring by motorcycle began.

Elspeth Beard First British woman to motorcycle around the world

Elspeth Beard is a motorcyclist and award-winning architect. In 1982, at the age of just twenty-three, Elspeth Beard left London and set off on a 35,000 mile solo adventure around the world on her 1974 BMW R60/6 and became the first British woman to motorcycle around the world.

"Although I had ridden bikes since my teens and was already well-traveled, setting off on my own with no sponsorship or support, in an age before email, internet, cell phones and satnavs certainly made this journey a real adventure and was the toughest thing I'd ever done.

During my two-and-a-half year journey I rode through deserts and mountain ranges and war-ravaged countries and along the way I had to fake documents, witnessed riots and civil uprisings, fended off physical threats, sexual attacks, biker gangs and corrupt police convinced I was trafficking drugs. I survived two crashes and life-threatening illnesses and fell in love twice. It was not until 2008 that I discovered that I had become the first British woman to ride a motorcycle around the world.

I now run my own architectural practice, specialising in creating and remodelling interesting and unusual buildings. I live in a converted Victorian water tower in the southeast of England and still enjoy riding motorcycles, including my trusty BMW R60/6 which carried me around the world."

Martin Brucker On the way (Auf dem Weg) - 6 1/2 years RTW crossing 6 continents and about 70 countries on a BMW G650 Xchallenge

After working for 9 1/2 years as an intructor for woodwork in Ethiopia I wanted to have some time out to look for a job in South East Asia as an instructor in woodwork. I wanted about 12 to 18 months using my motorcycle to travel to South East Asia and a bit further to Australia to visit my cousin near Brisbane.

I arrived in Australia after 20 month (crossing Iran, Syria, Sudan, Yemen, Tibet, China, Vietnam), had some job interviews in Laos and Vietnam and got a job offer as an instructor for woodwork in Laos. By the time I got the job offer I had already been travelling in Australia for 4 month and had to make a decision - taking the job offer or keep going with my journey. To be honest, it was an easy decision - I kept going.

From there on my journey extended frequently for a continent (South America), a country (Cuba) or just to wait for the spring season again. On one point in my journey it came to my mind, that it would be really cool to get back to Germany (the Black-Forest) on two wheels, means on a motorcycle, if possible on the one I left. After crossing 6 continents and about 70 countries, I arrived back home at the Black-Forest on the very same spot I left 6 1/2 years ago - Welschensteinach, at the doorstep of my mother's house.

Martin Brucker from the Black-Forest in Germany traveled for 6 1/2 years around the world with his trusty BMW G650 Xchallenge for about 255 067 km crossing about 70 countries "On the way".

Craig Carey-Clinch Motorcycle Outreach

Motorcycle Outreach (MoR) was established in 2005 as a result of the work and vision of RTW biking humanitarian Simon Milward.

As Simon travelled he realised that basic healthcare provision was not reaching people in remote areas of developing countries due to problems with poor roads and transport. He established a motorcycle healthcare logistics project in Flores, Indonesia which successfully operates to this day.

Simon died in Mali in 2005, but his vision remains, with Motorcycle Outreach continuing his work to develop motorcycle based primary healthcare projects.

This presentation will bring you the latest news from MoR and you'll be able to learn about our plans for the future.

Craig has been the leading campaigner on motorcycling political issues for over 20 years. He has also travelled extensively in Europe, West Africa, North America and the Sub Continent. In addition to his work to protect, promote and advocate motorcycling he also works with GlobeBusters and has led expeditions in Africa and the Americas.

John Clews RTW and still alive

10 years in 10 minutes (just kidding)

The ups and downs of a RTW biker with no plans just ideas. Ten years of plodding around the world on a motorcycle in slow time.

The highs and lows on my ten years on the road. This started out as just a 6 week holiday to India with nothing planned apart from hiring a classic Royal Enfield to tour the Himalayas and enjoy the mountain air. Having had a little advice from some expats I decided that this would be the start of my RTW journey, so off to Nepal to buy a R.E Bullet. Having ridden India, Asia, Australia and lots of places in between I find myself stuck in South America, who knows when I'll escape to the north. So you will get to hear a small selection of the adventures me and my bikes have been on, from being taken out by tuk tuks and 4x4s to rescuing a wedge tailed eagle, helping save a life to bringing smiles to the locals. The highs is definitely the people you meet on the road and the lows? Can there be any when riding a motorcycle around the world?

Five years on and I'm still alive

Australia, New Zealand and a little bit of South America. From rescuing big birds to volcanos going pop, fixing punctures over 4000 meters and the hospitality of more good people.

Having done my time in the military I decided I should revisit some of the lovely places I´d been before. Ten years and 3 motorcycles later I seem to have only scratched the surface.

Tiffany Coates Kyrgyzstan- Land of the Eagle Hunters and Travel Safe

Mario Costa-Sa Where can I ride "Off Road"?

Where can I ride "Off Road" - A beginners guide to finding trail and riding "off road"

Trail riding in England in Wales is an immensely rewarding countryside pursuit, bringing adventure and exploration together with technical riding skills, orienteering and land access knowledge. It is enjoyed in sunshine, wind, rain and snow throughout the year in some of the countries most striking landscapes, from the wild moorlands of Northumberland, over the rocky mountains of North Wales to the flat farm plains of Lincolnshire and down to the furthest reaches of Devon and Cornwall.

Just because you own an adventure bike doesn't mean you can ride anywhere you like. In fact, responsible trail riders technically never ride 'off road' as the trails and green lanes we use are actually classified as Byways Open To All Traffic (BOATS) or Unsealed Unclassified Country Roads (UUCR's). Access to these historic legal lanes is under scrutiny by national and regional government organisations as well as land-owners and the wider countryside population. 6,000 miles of BOATs. Can't tell your BOAT from your ORPA? We can help you.

Mario is an experienced traveller and has ridden and driven across all continents. Following his last RTW trip 6 years ago he prefers discovering little-known treasures on his doorstep. He is the Chairman of the Trail Riders Fellowship and holds ACU RoSPA and Institute of Advanced Motorcyclists qualifications.

John Dixon A quick intro into the realities of First Aid in a remote area.

Remote or Trail First Aid is about making things better in a bad situation, in this short intro we will be discussing: Improvising splints, tourniquet and stretchers from what you may have on your bike or in a vehicle. Making those difficult decisions to wait for help or self rescue; these are the realities of incident management and First Aid in remote places. Basic First Aid Kit and can we make it simple so we can use it in the rain, snow and even when we are distressed?

John-Paul or Jp is a professional Outdoor Pursuits Instructor who has ridden bikes in Africa, Canada, Alaska, America and Europe. He is now training riders and Overlanders in First Aid and Guiding Skills. JP works as First Responder for Expeditions and motorcycle events throughout Europe. he has been known to fall off himself so is keen for all to learn Trail First Aid.

Derek Fairless South America in a 30 yr old Citroen 2CV AND Central America - el Gringo Perdido

Around Argentina & Brazil in a clapped out 2CV

Join me as I relive my journey across Argentina and Brazil in a 30 yr old Citroen 2CV, rattling across deserts and through jungles as only a 2CV can. There were plenty of adversities to overcome, believe me, but a positive attitude gets you through every time. Sit back with a beverage of your choice and watch my narrated CD that has lots of pictures, maps and good old rocking music. Q&A afterwards time permitting.

Central America

Travelogue of my motorcycle journey through Mexico, Belize, Guatamala, San Salvador, Hondurus, Nicaragua and Panama

Travel through Mexico to the Yucatan Peninsula, taking in various Maya Temple sites. Then into Belize and on to other Maya ruins in Guatemala. Learning Spanish in Antigua and crossing through San Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua before reaching Panama for the flight to Colombia and all points south.

El Gringo Perdido

Photos and talk of my wanderings through the mountains and jungles of Central America and seeing fantastic Maya Ruins there.

This was the part of my American Odyssey that I worried about the most. From crossing the border in Yuma, USA; to flying out of Panama City for Colombia, this is a narrated photo travelogue of my motorcycle adventure through Central America and how easy it was. From the mountains around Creel to the shores of Acapulco, the Maya Ruins of the Yucatan Peninsula and a millionaires hotel in Belize onward to Tikal, Guatemala and taking part in a ritual not performed since the Conquistadors outlawed it 400 years ago. Staying in a bordello in San Salvador (in error) before meeting an American posse who welcomed me to join their flight from Panama to Bogota, Colombia.

Following the untimely death of my wife I became clinically depressed and wondered about 'the meaning of life'. After a beery chat with a m/c friend we thought a m/c adventure might cure me. (It did). After attending a couple of HUBBUK meetings in the UK & Belgium, I was surprised to see just how do-able it was, so I did it. The meaning of life? Help others when you can, there are more good people in the world than bad.

Jacqui Furneaux Plan? What Plan? - A holiday turns into a way of life thanks to a Dutchman and an Enfield Bullet

A woman nearing 50 goes off to India with a young Dutch motorcycle traveller she hardly knows, buys her own Enfield, thinking this little adventure might last six months and trails around aimlessly but happily with him for 4 years until they reach Australia where he decides to stay. She wonders if she can continue on her own...

I gave up my job as a nurse when I was forty-eight to go travelling and found I really liked it so bought a motorbike in India. It was all an accident, a way of life I couldn't stop...

Dan Godzisz Spring Solo Cycle in Iceland AND Ride to the Sun – France by Bicycle

Spring Solo Cycle in Iceland

Tent: check. Fat bike: check. Beard: check. A few days solo cycling around the south west of Iceland looking for peace, quiet and solitude.

Thought I'd have a go at self-sufficient cycling without taking the kitchen sink! So I plumbed for spring in Iceland, taking a fat bike and just enough clothing, food and shelter to last a week on my first remote bikepacking experience. These are my reflections on what I did, what worked for me and how I could eke out even more fun!

Cycling has given me a fantastic change from motorbikes, allowing me to travel much more freely and hugely improve my contact with the places and peoples I visit. If you've ever wanted to give it a try come and have a chat and I'll share ideas and experiences with you that will help you have a go and enjoy it too!

Bicycling in Iceland and France

Ride to the Sun – France by Bicycle

A human powered alternative. 1300km solo from Caen to Cannes with great scenery, comfy beds, lush food and a glass or two of the red stuff!

Wanting to escape the everyday hustle and bustle and find something just for me, I decided to cycle from Caen to Cannes. Travelling ultralight, I found 1300km of smooth, peaceful and stunningly beautiful roads, as well as lovely hospitality, toasty showers and clean linen beds. It gave me much needed time in the moment, and left me feeling more chilled than on any trip before. Highly recommended for any ability! Cycling has given me a fantastic change from motorbikes, allowing me to travel much more freely and hugely improve my contact with the places and peoples I visit. If you've ever wanted to give it a try come and have a chat and I'll share ideas and experiences with you that will help you have a go and enjoy it too!

An ordinary chap busy working for a living and bringing up my four amazing children. Yet trying to find a bit of time here and there to bike or cycle, having my own little adventures to bring me closer to the awesome world around us!

Duncan Gough Viaje en España, The Catalan Pyrenees AND Writing your Adventure

Viaje en España - Travelling in Spain
In this presentation Duncan talks from more than 30 years of journeys in Spain. His experiences have gone into his books.

His experiences have gone into his books 'Back Roads of Spain', 'Sketches of Spain', @Back Roads to the Catalan Pyrenees (& Barcelona)', and the series 'Back Road Routes of the Catalan Pyrenees'. The emphasis is on the real Spain of small towns and villages off the beaten track, of unusual and interesting places that few tourists may have found. It is about the Spanish character and culture, and how to make the most of interactions with this generous nation. Also covered are some of the more important legal and road safety issues, with a dash of ornithology and history.

The Catalan Pyrenees
How to get there on back roads and the fantastic routes in the Ara Lleida

Based on my guidebooks to the back road routes to the Ara Lleida and neighbouring areas. And fairly detailed look at the routes as set out by Moturisme (www.moturisme.aralleida.com/en) and in the Eastern Pyrenees in general. Places to go and stay, bit of history and much else.

Writing Your Adventure
A brief look at techniques for recording an adventure in the most productive way.

Duncan realised that many people don't really think much in advance how they are going to record their holiday or adventure, or don't find it easy to develop the record into a narrative. The aim of the presentation is to give a structure for making the most interesting account, whether for themselves, their grandchildren or with the aim of publication. It includes suggestions for equipment and information on details like the resolution requirements for photography that will print with decent quality, audio recording and routes to publication. Based on his book @Writing Your Adventure'

Duncan was born in London, but at the age of three, his family moved to a mixed fruit farm in the middle of 100 acres of Rhodesian bush. An unusual early childhood was spent nearly always barefoot, often with only the company of a younger sister and the African children of farm workers. He spent a lot of time off in the bush learning self-reliance and about the natural world. He has been a motorcyclist since an early age. Every year since 1999 he has travelled in Europe on his Moto Guzzi.

Geoff Grimmett Himalayas: Its easier than you think!

In 2013 I decided to go to India and instead of joining an organised tour I wanted to organise my own trip. I hired bikes, arranged hotels, flights and obtained visas. That trip was the start of something for me and I fell in love with India. That first trip was the Leh - Manali Highway to reach Khardung La (Highest Road), sights included the lakes at Srinagar and the Golden Temple of Amritsar. Other trips have included the remote region of Spiti Valley and 'Ashram centered' town Rishikesh on the Mother Ganges.

I have recently returned from India after my fifth visit there and I have made some wonderful friends and had some amazing adventures. Come and listen to me chat about India and my adventures. You will see it's a great country to visit, it has the greatest roads, most amazing scenery and mountains!

Geoff is 48 years old and married with children. He is a keen part time adventurer and rides a Super Tenere. Geoff has travelled extensively over the years including Europe, India and Cambodia. Geoff is looking forward his dream, of packing up and riding off into the sunset.

Ian and Christabel Harper Alaska to Argentina - Slowly (a preview)

Husband and wife team Ian and Christabel Harper ride slowly into retirement by taking an epic journey from Alaska to Argentina starting in July 2018. No quaint retirement cottage by the sea or days of tending to their garden for this intrepid pair.

Ian, a rather out of shape 54-year-old with a passion for bikes and travel will be doing the trip on a Honda CB500X Rally Raid. Christabel, a slightly older but definitely fitter 59-year-old, also with a passion for bikes and travel and an almost psychotic attachment to her Harley Davidson 883 sportster has chosen a Royal Enfield Himalayan to complete the trip. The pair share their preparations for the trip from downsizing their house to choosing which bikes to take and all the other practical stuff that needs to be done to set you on your way.

Ian and Christabel have travelled extensively throughout Europe including France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina Croatia and finally circumnavigating Spain.

Michèle Harrison All the Gear, No Idea - A Beginner's View of Motorcycling in India

In 1997, I set off to India to explore on a Royal Enfield. Over the course of one year and 25,000 kilometres, I had a couple of near misses and experienced many adventures going from the crazy traffic of the big cities to the emptiness of Spiti and Ladakh in Northern India.

I wrote up the story in a book entitled "All the Gear, No Idea". Stuart Jewkes, the Editor of The Rider's Digest wrote of the book: "All the gear and no idea" is usually meant as a pejorative term aimed at chequebook bikers. On the other hand, Michele Harrison inverts the phrase here to illustrate her refreshingly honest and upfront admission of her inexperience in relation to the magnitude of her undertaking - a massive road trip round India, all by herself, on a locally-procured Royal Enfield, with no backup or support of any kind....Michele uses the best policy of all, which is to adopt the value system of her host nation and leave everything to fate; a policy which eventually has a lasting impact on the rest of her life (in a good way - but I won't give it away!). As a result, she makes Homeric road trips like this sound accessible and achievable to mere mortals, when so many others give the impression that lack of expertise is a barrier to entry."

Get the book on Amazon and ask Michele to autograph it for you!

Graham Hoskins, Host of Adventure Bike TV You meet the best people...

The very best thing about all the trips I've done is the people I've met along the way. Meet some of them with me.

It doesn't matter whether it was in Russian, the Egyptian desert, Syria, West Africa, Poland or Norway, the very best bits of every adventure I've been on have been around the incredible people I've met and the amazing friends I've travelled with. Luckily most of them are on film, either in the one of the TV series I've made or with adventurebiketv. Join me and let's share some of the best moments!

Graham's early promise of a career flying fast jets in the Navy was cut short by a battle with cancer aged 21. Side-effects of his cancer treatment caused him to go through 5 total hip replacements in the last 22 years. All of which drive his resolve to take life by throat and make the most of it. Graham has started several successful businesses and now combines his day job as the MD of a business consultancy with projects that explore his passion for adventure, motorcycling and entertainment.

In 1990, Graham did his first charity bike ride after he found out that he had cancer. He and his best pal dressed as chickens and motorcycled from college in Plymouth to London and back. In 2005, they decided that a much bigger challenge was needed so they rode 4000 miles to Moscow and back in under 7 days for BBC Children In Need. Inspired by the 4000 mile, 6 day motorcycle challenge to Moscow, he has written, directed and produces three TV series on a similar theme, despite having no experience of the industry. His two Motorbike Diaries series and new 'World's Best Biking Adventures' series are all based on what you can on bikes that is amazing, life changing and in just two weeks.

In 2010 Graham persuaded Danny John-Jules from Red Dwarf to ride 7000 miles through 16 countries and 3 continents, circumnavigating the Mediterranean Sea in just 16 days for Sport Relief in 2010. In 2012, they undertook a new challenge to ride to Dakar in West Africa. In 2014 he took a new team 5000 miles to the northernmost point in Europe along the Arctic Highway. Graham also writes about his challenges and presents the monthly internet TV show Adventure Bike TV.

Fern Hume & Ferdie Pick The Grand Idea- RTW 2 weeks at a time

The Grand Idea- Low budget, short fly ride adventures as an alternative to mammoth RTW trips- Featuring Thailand, Morocco, and Peru.

This is the Grand Idea. We would all like to have the time and money to buy a new shiny bike and travel the world for years. However most of us have jobs that we endeavour to keep, kids, a dog and a mortgage to boot. We will show a budgeted, incremental, 'less covered' style that we feel has merit in a world of mammoth round the world trips. We feature our three recent trips to Thailand, Morocco and Peru, all 2 weeks in length and costing on average £1000 each. We feel that newcomers to the world of Adventure Riding are daunted at the most common method. We are here to put across another variation on the theme- exploring the world one place at a time- The joy of the fly ride. Flying to a destination, renting bikes, exploring off the beaten track with very little pre-planning.

Fern Hume began motorcycling around Norfolk, Norway, and then UK to India on her DRZ400. After living in Nepal and NZ, she moved home to the UK and met Ferdie Pick, who himself drove through Africa and loves touring both Europe and exploring the trails of the UK.

Ferdinand says: "I only passed my motorcycle test in spring 2013 after a chance meeting with a guy in the Western Sahara. I took part in the Dakar challenge with my little brother and a school friend. We donated a car to a hospital but the catch was you had to drive it there 4500 miles though Europe and north and west Africa. This 3 week trip changed my life forever."

Fern Hume & Ferdie Pick Isn't there an app for that?

Isn't there an app for that? Want a GPS but don't yet have a Garmin - how about your smartphone?

An overview of some free Navigation apps for the road and the trails. For adventures you can't beat a good old map, however, there is a myriad of different apps out there to help you with this. From the outdoor pursuits app 'Viewranger', recommended by the TRF, which allows you to discover new adventures off the beaten track, in places you have not been before. To Maps.Me for up to the minute on-road navigation trips big or small. To the worldwide info app 'ioverlander' giving advice and warnings on the road ahead. I have used these on four continents and found them all invaluable.

Ferdinand is fairly new to the world of overland travel but specialises in delivering ad-hoc training on app-based platforms. Following his latest fly ride adventure to Peru he has been discovering little-known treasures on his doorstep using the very apps he will tell you about.

Grant and Susan Johnson, Horizons Unlimited 4 Easy Steps to Overland Travel! AND How it all began.

4 Easy Steps to Overland Travel! You can do it - we can help! Finding your way around Horizons Unlimited, other resources. Lots of great pics and video clips.

This seminar will be an overview of 'How To' travel overland topics. Includes content from the Achievable Dream series and great pics from HU Photo Contest winners!

How it all began. The story of Grant and Susan's 11-year trip around the world, without a plan or a clue!

Way back in 1987, before the Internet, two young and naive Canadians set out from Vancouver to ride around the world on a motorcycle. The plan (and budget) was for 3 years, but it didn't quite work out that way!

This presentation will focus on the Johnson's travels in Latin America, where many adventures were had as they navigated the results of massive flooding in an El Niño year, traversing from the Pan American Highway to the jungles of the Amazon!

"Grant and Susan Johnson are icons in the round-the-world (RTW) motorcycling community. The Johnsons host - or more appropriately write, edit, produce, manage and coordinate Horizons Unlimited - a global network of motorcycle travelers... and a bona fide adventure motorcycling phenomenon." Dan Hilton, Rider Magazine

Grant Johnson, Horizons Unlimited Fix that flat! AND Making better Travel Photos!

Grant's tyre changing seminars are always well attended and appreciated. This seminar covers: how to prevent flats in the first place, and fix them when you get one; the best tools and how to use them for tube and tubeless tires; hands-on practical for beginners to experts.

Grant Johnson demonstrates the black art of tyre changing at HU South Africa

Making better Travel Photos - it's all about where you put stuff!

We all want to take great photos of our trip - so why don't we? Your friends think you are NUTS for traveling around the world on a motorcycle. You try to describe these destinations to them, only for it to fall short. Why is that? The human brain is highly driven by visual stimulation. In order to truly convey the EXPERIENCE of being there, you need great visuals!

This easy seminar for everyone will transform your photos from boring to FABULOUS! No technical expertise required!

Ian & Jenny Jordan, Together We Go A beginners experience of adventure and How to blog on the go

A beginners experience of adventure

We decided to get motorcycle licenses on a whim and then discovered the world of motorcycle adventure!

What happens when 2 novice riders decide to take their adventures on 2 wheels? We discuss how we fit this in to day to day life. In Feb 2017 we first talked about maybe getting motorcycle licenses to help with commuting. 8 months later we're riding 2000 miles up to and around Scotland in 40-50mph wind. It's been a fun journey (the whole 8 months) and is a great prelude to bigger trips in the future.

How to blog on the go

Ever wanted to share your journeys, but don't know where to start?

We have a passion for travelling, we spent 2 months in a camper van that we bought and drove around New Zealand. We love to photo, blog and video our adventures. Before we started our travels we decided to set up a blog, www.togetherwego.co.uk, if you've ever wondered how to set up a blog, or how to blog whilst on the road, we've got some helpful tips and can share our experiences. Also what gear do you take with you, what do you actually need and what is nice to have? These are areas that we'll talk through and can answer questions on.

My wife and I are new to the world of Motorcycles, but love adventure. We've embraced the freedom of travelling on two wheels and love to share our experiences with others.

Tori Lang, Yoga for Bikers Yoga for bikers - try it! - Practical session to ease your aches and introduce how yoga can help your riding.

Experience Yoga for Bikers: Do you ache after a long ride? Carrying an injury? Not as fit and supple as you'd like to be? Tired? Yoga can help! This is a practical session to share some yoga - to help people enjoy their riding more fully. The emphasis of the session is on the areas that have become tight or injured through riding, releasing the tensions that accumulate, helping injuries to recover, and bringing balance, suppleness and well being back to the mind and body.

We'll also cover yoga techniques to help moderate body temperature and to stay alert. All this enables people to enjoy their riding experience more confidently, comfortably, safely, and for longer.

As a seasoned biker myself, and as someone who first started practising yoga over 20 years ago, I understand firsthand the benefits that yoga gives to make riding more pleasurable including:

* Improved attention and focus whilst riding
* Improved comfort whilst riding
* Improved balance
* Quicker recovery from injury
* Improved sleep, and therefore energy and attention whilst riding
* Improved ability to cope with pain and discomfort
* Greater strength and flexibility
* Increased energy levels

Rachel Lawson Make sure your tech isn't spying on you!

Want to make sure all that tech you have keeps working and doesn't leak all your personal data? Let's talk...

I love my tech. My camera, my phone, my iPad, my MacBook and on and on the list goes... I have had plenty of opportunity to work "on the road" and, given my web developer history, I have a whole set of principles I follow for keeping the information on them safe from prying eyes. I'll explain, in non-technical terms, what such things as encryption, VPNs, firewalls, key signing etc are and how they are relevant to keeping your data safe on the road.

I keep telling myself "I'm not really a motorbike traveller" but I am somehow totting up the miles on my bike. Most of Europe covered now and occasional trips into Morocco on my own are making a start, at least! I do know all about using tech whilst travelling though - as a freelance web developer and a traveller, that's my thing!

Ed March Alaska to Argentina on Honda 90's 3 years, 1.75 people, 45,000 miles, -33oC, +45oC, 1.8 vehicles. Chaos as always.

Ed's back from a 3 year trip, and that means one thing....new presentation time! 45,000 miles, 3 years, riding and camping across Canada in the winter at -33oC and then riding across the USA off-road on the 5,000 mile Trans America Trail. Started the trip as a couple with Rachel Lasham, but finished apart... all on Honda 90's. The list of things that happened is nigh on endless, and nobody likes plot spoilers, so you'll just have to find out the rest during the presentation.

Stephen Marsh, Orca Around the World in 80 Whales! AND Whales, wheels and waves!

Around the World in 80 Whales!

Stephen Marsh has always been fascinated by wildlife. 12 years ago, after 30 years in advertising, he switched to working for marine wildlife charities and is known for his passionate and informative talks, having travelled the world lecturing about the incredible creatures that inhabit this planet.

Now he's planning the big trip - 'Around the World in 80 Whales!' Stephen's quest will be to see as many of the 89 known species of whales, dolphins and porpoises (and other creatures) as he can from a standing start, travelling the overland sections by motorbike. This will take him to some amazing and remote places, as not all of the species are easily accessible and some are incredibly rare. On the way he'll spend time with others who study, rescue and protect these enigmatic leviathans.

In his talk, Stephen will be sharing his plans, hopes and fears, so please come along to give him your support and mock his total lack of preparedness!

Whales, wheels and waves!

Start your adventure the minute you board a ferry. Learn about the incredible and enigmatic creatures that inhabit our seas.

For many of us, the first part of our travel will be getting away from the UK by ferry. Within a day's sailing we can see over a third of the world's species of whales and dolphins and some waters, such as the Bay of Biscay, are hotspots for these enigmatic creatures. Stephen is a seasoned sea traveller. Having worked for a whale and dolphin survey charity and now managing a charity that rescues marine wildlife, he will share his knowledge of the biology of these fascinating animals, his yarns of whales seen and tell of the best places and times to get out on deck! There's an incredible wildlife spectacular that's free for all to see - as long as you're looking!

Common dolphin by Stephen Marsh of Orca

Both for work and pleasure, Stephen has travelled around the world lecturing on wildlife, especially whales and dolphins that are major passion - the other is biking. When he gets on his motorbike it's usually to travel somewhere to see and photograph wildlife. Whales, wheels and waves!

Good times, Bad times and how to cope with both...

AND

After all the preparation and planning, how events, politics, and geological happenings can 'gang-up' on your 'well planned' adventure.

Ken McGreevy The Cop, his bike and the Kazak Desert

My lighthearted look at travel on my 400 euro former Irish cop bike, with ammo boxes for panniers, and stepping out of my comfort zone through Europe over 5 years of annual holiday time and ending up in a heap of dust in a Kazakhstan desert.

This is a lighthearted look at cheap adv biking, trusting strangers and dispelling stereotypes, dealing with loneliness, customs and damm visas and finding out that Guardian Angels are for big roughty tufty bikers too.

Iain Nicholson Trail Riding in Spain AND So you have a job and 2 weeks leave?

So you want some good trail riding ... try Spain!

Spain is a place many simply pass through on their way South to North Africa, and miss the off road paradise! Iain has travelled in Europe and Scandinavia from a very very young age! Trips have covered everything from mountaineering to motorcycle travel. This presentation is a compilation of trips to Spain on a trusty 650 single. All of the trips start at home in Lancashire, riding all of the way (except the ferries!) on 650 cc bikes, camping along the way and making the most of the landscape, culture and scenery.

There's a lot to see in 2 weeks just over the Channel - here's some ideas

Many people have a couple of weeks leave and a full time job. There's a lot to see in easy reach just over the channel, including a lot of cultural, military and cold war history. Here's a few ideas based on some trips of around 2 weeks duration - and also some ideas on how to save time getting to the start point of your trip.

Iain has travelled since a very early age and has not really stopped. He's visited most of the EU , and a few countries outside to add to the list. In "younger" days the travel usually was on foot enjoying climbing and walking routes, and motorcycle travel has been part of the past 20 years, both touring and trail riding.

Nora Nijkamp and Jojo Weissborn Adventurism mindset, the only thing you need and Beginner mistakes, a comedy story

Adventurism mindset, the only thing you need

We all do it, over prepare and overpack. In this reflective talk I try to convince you to take less by bringing the right mindset.

In this presentation Nora shares stories about her first overland adventure. Without any experience she packed her bags and left. She shares how to deal with the daily challenges on the road and how to grow with the experience. In the end I learned that it doesn't matter how you prepare or pack, the most important thing you can bring is the right mindset.

Beginner mistakes, a comedy story

We were beginner travellers and made a lot of mistakes. Without taking ourselves too seriously we share with you our packing tips.

This presentation is a guideline for travel preparations. Without any experience we left on an overland adventure and we will share our embarrassing packing lists. Now with some experience under our belts we will try and convince you to travel lighter and leave some things behind.

Making travel videos, tips from a pro

Sharing your experience with video is the best (in my opinion) way to keep your family and friends up to date. Cameras, editing and more.

A guide for everyone who is interested into sharing their travel stories in a new way. What cameras do you use, what are the basics, how do you go through all the footage and how do you edit something that your family doesn't fall asleep to?

Nora & Jojo are a couple brought together by the adventure of motorcycle overland travel. we have plenty of stories to share from our solo travel and of our time exploring the world together. We are a happy couple with a shared passion. Adventure.

Sheonagh Ravensdale and Pat Thomson India – Hardly Driveable? and Panama to Cambodia on Brazilian bikes

India – Hardly Driveable?

South India. Are Harleys really suitable bikes? What possessed us? A light-hearted tale of survival and the other women riders we met.

The plan was to fly to Mumbai, buy a couple of small bikes and go off for a quiet two-month tour of Rajasthan and the north. However, making contact with a couple of Indian women riders and rekindling an acquaintance from 27 years ago resulted in:
a) Being invited to speak at India Bike Week in Goa.
b) Being lent a couple of brand new Harley Davidsons in return for two articles for BIKE India Magazine.

So the plans went out of the window; we dumped most of the luggage and the northern half of the map and set off southwards. We met many Indian riders including a bunch of amazing women and their bikes. Six weeks and 5000 kms later, we handed the keys back, thankful that both we and the Harleys had survived!

Panama to Cambodia on Brazilian bikes

The "Dusty Old Bags" serendipitous route through 15 countries in 16 months. A women's take on travel in these regions.

The plan was to start where we left off last time after South America. Seven Central American countries and six Asian countries later, the bikes and us still have a long way to go. Along the way, we listened to Nahuatl protest songs in Mexico, had an encounter with a Nicaraguan policeman, planted rice for a Korean farmer in Tokyo, wild camped in South Korea, joined in Ramadan celebrations in Malaysia, shared a boarding house with ladyboys in Chiang Mai and dodged tanks in northern Cambodia.

When the passports, insurance and carnets ran out after 16 months, we had to come home. The rest of RTW awaits!

With over 80 years of biking experience between them, two women, Sheonagh Ravensdale and Pat Thomson have motorcycled through 45 countries over the years. The end plan is RTW, but we keep getting diverted. Known on Horizons as The Dusty Old Bags, this actually refers to our luggage.

Nick Schofield Two Week Adventures in South Africa - Fly in and hire a bike

Only two things were fixed, the dates and the bike. The dates where Easter 2017 and the bike, hired was an XT660r with the lowering kit for a short ass. The rest would be made up as I go along. The rough plan was to fly into Johannesburg, head west till I hit the Atlantic Ocean then turn left till I got to Cape Town then left again along the Garden route and then left again back up to Johannesburg about 3k miles in 15 days. The rest was made up as I went, highlights included; Table mountain, Cape Agulhas, Indian Ocean and the Sani Pass (reputed to be in the top 10 most dangerous roads in the world and the highest pass in Africa) and the mounting Kingdom of Lesotho. The great thing about not having a plan is nothing can go wrong.

Passionate about my family, job and adventure travel. How do you fit it all in? I have ridden from Mongolia twice, the Trans American Trail (TAT), Morocco, Vietnam and South Africa on small lightweight adventure bikes on a tight budget. It is possible to fit it all in!

Chris Scott, Adventure Motorcycling The Desert Years and Morocco: One Short Ferry; One Giant Leap

The Desert Years

Sahara specialist Chris Scott looks back on four decades of desert biking.

From his first aborted venture into Algeria aged 22 aboard a scrapheap-challenged XT500, to his most recent return there and a whole lot of sandy places in between, desert fan Chris Scott takes us back to a time when relaxed access, the glamour of the original Dakar rally and dependable machinery all combined to create a golden age of overland adventuring until the rise of jihadism, banditry and other strife turned much of the Sahara into a no-go zone.

Morocco: One Short Ferry; One Giant Leap

Sharyn & Nigel Tailyour Two pensioners from Ushuaia to Alaska and Wrincklies Round the World

Two pensioners from Ushuaia to Alaska - The TransAmerica highway on a 10 year old bike - two up.

Colombia's notorious Ruta 10: "Adios mi Vida", Alaskan bears, Brazilian Love Hotels and the odd Mexican dead body by the road feature in this talk. Nigel and Sharyn took their pension book from Brazil to Ushuaia and then up to Alaska on a 10 year old bike - two up. They have their tent and their stove and sleeping bags for 6 months. Hear how even they did it and so you can too. Little planning, little money and certainly no expensive gear means that if you dream of such an edventure then you'll learn how to do it and be inspired to go there yourself. The talk is packed with information, videos and photos of people and places to inform and inspire.

Wrincklies Round the World - Two pensioners, RTW on a 12 year old bike. They can't make it surely?

Leaving England to get to Vladivostok seemed easy until the Russian border guard scratched his head, shook it and said "Nevamoshna"-Impossible, "Niet Narogy" "no road. And we were still in Estonia with 11 time zones ahead of us. A huge adventure lay ahead that included Russian bears, a gangster (allegedly) and a long train ride before arriving in the shores of the USA. Then over to the Big Apple and back to UK. This talk will show you how even two pensioners on an old bike can go round the world. It will inspire you and inform you. There is no need for planning, money or permission. Nigel and sharyn will show you how to have the adventure of a lifetime.

Nigel and Sharyn are two pensioners who prove that anyone can do it. Their old bike takes their tent, cooker and both of them to the ends of the Earth. Round the World or their latest trip from Ushuaia to Alaska they talk enthusiastically about the wonderful people they see and the amazing places too. If they can do it, you can too.

Fernando Torres Brazil: the entire World in a country

The arid Outback, the Swiss Alps, the swamps from Florida or the Mongolian steppe. All of that and much more is in Brazil, a hidden jewel.

Brazil is a Paradise for overlanders, much bigger than Europe. The friendliness of Brazilians is proverbial and their food is a delicious mix of Europe, Africa and Indigenous plates. But above all, the Mother Nature outshined in shaping a country where you can visit practically all the ecosystems in the World and experience unique places that are not included in Tripadvisor (not yet!). No time to visit Australia, USA and Africa in a couple of months? No problem, Brazil awaits you!

Fernando is a Spanish engineer who lived in Brazil for 8 years and fell in love with the country and its endless beauties to the point of marrying one of them. He rode 27 out of the 28 Brazilian states - some of them are bigger than the UK!

Billy Ward, Bike Truck Say YES to everything - take risks!

Find out how I ended up in a war zone with Claudio von Planta - and very happy to be there too!

Never say NO. Saying YES will always end up in some sort of adventure and our lives need this. Measuring my life by the value of the experience has superseded any monetary equivalent. Hear how a dinner and excessive alcohol consumption with Claudio von Planta, of Long Way Round fame, led to one of the most exciting adventures of my life.

Standing on the Front Line in Mosul - surrounded by military of one type or another - listening to the coalition jets above made me ponder "What the feck am I doing here?". An incredible journey into the Middle East with Claudio opened up my eyes to many things - political - social - economic - power and control. Our legacy, if we have one should be our understanding. My story is about how I fell into this adventure and how wonderfully good and bad, people can be. I hope you will find it exciting, funny and sad. Billy x ps. There is no Nudity in my presentation... (well, not much) :)

Just a wee struggle with a croc in Zambia!

Having worked with Ross Noble, The Hairy Bikers, Simon Pavey and Charley Boorman - I've managed to put a fair number of adventure kilometres under my belt. Being a qualified African Field Guide, my clear passion is Africa and wildlife. Add motorcycles, broken rules, a touch of Irish humour and Liverpool cheek - stir well and there you have me! A flippin lunatic! :)

Mark Warrender Melbourne to Birmingham - Idiot's guide! AND Hammock Camping - Better than any tent!

Melbourne to Birmingham - Idiot's guide!
A brief account of my travels from Melbourne to Birmingham in 2014, through South Korea, Russia, Mongolia, & the Stans. Lots of handy tips!!

See how someone with no prior skills, limited research and budget managed to travel half way around the world on his own on a bike. If I can do it then you certainly can, and this idiot's guide provides a handy list of all the stuff not to worry about. Experience my trip through photos, anecdotes and stories to make you laugh (and occasionally cry) and hopefully the penny will drop that anyone can do this. So why not you?

Hammock Camping - Better than any tent!!
How to hang your hammock and why life is better off the ground!

I traveled around the world on a bike and slept in a hammock most of the time. It really is a practical alternative to the tent, super comfy, light and compact with tonnes of advantages you've never even thought of! It's a seat, a washing line, extra storage, dry shelter (for fixing your bike) and much more!! Come and see a practical demonstration on choosing your spot, rigging and de-rigging, how to lie comfortably, sleep/chillax in one. What to do if/when it rains or when there are no trees. Have a little hang and try it out for yourself.
