About this listen
Five and a half decades of adventure travel, mostly by motorcycle, often alone or with his son.
"Tales From The Road" captures interesting and unusual vignettes from the author's adventure travels, starting, perhaps, when he was 6 years old (a solo, unauthorised 3-mile journey by tricycle). Then two epic journeys with his father and brother: walking 375 miles from Durban to Lourenco Marques when he was 12, and then, two years later, a 1,200-mile bicycle ride to Beira (now Maputo) in Mozambique.
Following in his father's footsteps, Bransby then took his 17-year-old son on a life-defining motorcycle ride across Africa when emigrating to the UK.
Then followed many years of adventure travel — both with his son and alone — to various remote and fascinating parts of the world: Russia, Central Asia, Africa, Morocco, Vietnam, America, Canada and Alaska.
Perhaps the most difficult journey for the author was when he rode a 25-year-old DR350 motorcycle, alone and at the age of 70, across Russia including a double crossing of the notorious Road of Bones in the Russian Far East.
All these stories are contained in the three volumes of "Tales From the Road" — a delicious feast of adventure for both seasoned and armchair travellers.
