The latest edition of the wonderful 'Adventure Cycle-Touring Handbook is now available to buy. It's a great resource for anyone planning a cycle tour, with plenty of practical information covering aspects such as what bike and equipment to take, as well as chapters focusing on regions and popular routes to cycle.
I was very happy to have contributed to the chapter on Africa - updating the sections on cycling though East and Southern Africa as well as West and Central Africa. That's a lot of countries. Some barely got a mention. Perhaps it's time a guidebook dedicated to cycle-touring in Africa was put together. Hmm.
Unfortunately I won't get to see a copy for a while. Next week I'm back on the road, although need to box my bike up first.
