About the Author
My first book was a copy-shop pamphlet called 'Desert Biking', self-published in 1991 before that became a thing. DB evolved into the Adventure Motorcycling Handbook (AMH) , now in its 8th edition. I also wrote 'Sahara Overland' (OP) , 'Overlanders' Handbook 2' and 'Morocco Overland 3', all for Trailblazer Guides.I co-authored several editions of The 'Rough Guide to Australia' and contributed to other Rough Guides, as well as various long-distance British walking guides for Trailblazer. My own books include 'Desert Travels' covering my early Saharan explorations, 'The Street Riding Years'; my wild years as a despatch rider in 1980s London (RIDE magazine's Book of the Year) . In 2018 I published Sahara Trekking and also contributed the introduction to Gestalten's 'Hit the Road'. 2020 sees the full color 8th edition of AMH and I also contribute regularly to Overland Journal.Twitter: @ChrisScottAdv
