From the Back Cover
The spirit of adventure lurks within us all and has done down the ages. But now the solid backbone of just about every remote area expedition is a rugged 4x4 or pickup. Their popularity and utility in everyday life underlines our latent urge to head for a distant horizon.
An expedition can be a half day exploring a hill track, two weeks off-road in Turkey or the Pyrenees, a major journey in Africa, or a development, aid or research project in a remote area; the demands are similar.
Work or leisure, every expedition needs planning, selection, training and reliability as its ethos. To thirty years' expeditioning experience has been added over three years' concentrated research to produce and later revise this book – shipping, equipment, fuels, oil, communications, vehicles, driving and navigation are dealt with, distilled and summarised.
Easy access, selectability and signposting to this information has been a special aim.
This 2nd edition is revised throughout – vehicles, modifications, fuels and oils, tyres, emergencies .... with major updates in the vital areas of communications and satellite-based navigation.
Press comment on Tom Sheppard's earlier books on operation of four wheel drive vehicles THE LAND ROVER EXPERIENCE Editions 1 and 2 and the next book OFF-ROADER DRIVING:
"The most complex subjects are explained with striking clarity and simplicity supported with summary side notes …" (Daily Telegraph, UK)
"...unusual distinction of being well written (clear but not condescending) ... thoughtfully designed and beautifully illustrated."(Land Rover International magazine, UK)
"... one of the most comprehensive books on off-pavement driving that has ever been produced."(Four Wheeler magazine, USA) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
About the Author
During TOM SHEPPARD'S career in the Royal Air Force as a pilot and test pilot he planned, led and trained teams for numerous expeditions and operations - among them the first coast-to-coast crossing of the Sahara through the Mauritanian Empty Quarter for which he received the Royal Geographical Society's Ness Award. He has now totalled well over 100,000 overland miles on four and two wheels and has been a 4X4 owner for over 30 years. Between expeditions, he has worked for British Aerospace and been 4X4 consultant to a major international manufacturer. On this, the logistics and planning of expeditions he admits he is unlikely to ever stop learning.
