Just read "Lois on the Loose"

My boyfriend bought me "Lois on the Loose" for Christmas and I've got to say what a fabulous read it was. I normally take ages reading a book but I finished this one really quickly. It has really inspired me to take my module 2 and arrange a trip for the summer. I won't be able to do a long trip like Lois did, but hopefully I'll get away in Europe for 2-3 weeks.

You never know, I might get to meet her at Ripley in June............

Inspired!

Sally, good for you! Its great to feel inspired aint it.

The best of luck with doing your module 2. Make sure you post some updates on how things go for and tell us about your trips.

Its not where you go or for how long, its all about what you get from it! Have fun exploring.

There's another great, very inspiring book. From 2 belgian women who travelled together to most moslim countries:
"Girls, Moslims and Bikes" (Meisjes, moslims & motoren) it's called but unfortunately it's only available in Dutch.
They should give a presentation at a HUBB meeting actually, it would be great to aim the spot a bit more on women and bikes doing great things together!

Cool Red Tape

Red Tape is great, and better than Loose. Lois is on Facebook now worth saying hello.
HU ladies on the loose dvd is great, even for the blokes to watch.
Good Luck.

Hi Selous Mrs, here, he has all 5 dvd's they are all worth watching, I did find the dvd bit for us girls a bit too girlie? in places, either way I enjoyed it.
We have ordered heroes on the Rd.
I cant decide Lois or Tiffany, as both these girls have there own merits.
