Publisher's Summary

Stuck in deep sand, stuck in snow, bogged down in glutinous mud, crossing boulder-strewn dry riverbeds. A motorcycle trip that started with a vague intention of crossing the High Atlas Mountains and setting off into the desert beyond, turned into an epic journey with five unexpected highlights - venturing three times into the Western Sahara, each a little deeper, a little more remote, learning to cope with riding through deep sand on heavily laden bikes; then joining six mad Frenchmen and their guide riding sidecar cross outfits high up into the mountains and, later, getting bogged down in snow when traversing a narrow mountain pass, Lawrence Bransby and his son, Gareth, had a boy's own adventure of a lifetime.

There Are No Fat People in Morocco is the account of their trip - informative, amusing, and reflective, it will provide fascinating listening for the armchair traveler as well as those motorcycle adventurers planning their next trip! This is the third journey Lawrence and his son have done together: 15 years ago, they climbed on two old XT500s and crossed Africa together (Gareth was only 17 at the time). Then it was into Russia, heading north to Archangel and Murmansk; on the way, they joined members of the Black Bears, a Russian motorcycle club also on their way north of Archangel - a most interesting experience!

Not just a motorcycle trip.

Very well written. The author shares his experience’s and thought’s as he travel’s. A lovely journey for both the narrator and the reader (listener).

I’m now looking for other audio books by this writer.
