We are back again, apologising again, but ill health, all good now, and a broken laptop have conspired against us, but here we are... In this episode we de-brief our recent trip around the north of England to celebrate Greg's 40th, (I know! Doesn't he look older!)which is captured in the marvelous film which accompanies this podcast -https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAXg6xfw-YI We definitively decide which is the best bike, maybe not, and Noel forgets his golden rules for camping, but then remembers it's all about not changing your underpants. Do podcasts really get any better?

TAMP Season 2 Episode 3 Northern Trip Part II

It's been a while, sorry for being a bit useless. Life is very busy despite lock-down... This is part one of the story of our cancelled trip to the Spanish Pyrenees, where we went to the north east and west of our own fair island. Fun was had, beer was drunk, bikes were discussed, disaster was averted. Love was shown to the KTM 125 EXC (even by Noel) and Star Wars. Ever wondered what blokes talk about around a campfire? It's probably less interesting than you think. (CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE)

TAMP Season 2 Episode 2 Northern Trip Part I

We're back for season 2, sorry, it's been a while. But we think you are going to like this one. We witter on for a bit before handing over to Steve Stout and some very long standing members of Cumbria TRF, Steve and Roger, who have been riding since the sixties, before the birth of the TRF. They tell us about their earliest riding experiences and some great stories from over 50 years of trail riding. This is part 1, more to follow, not sure how many, depends on when the stories run out...

TAMP Season 2 Episode 1 Cumbria TRF Oral Histories Part 1

We are really happy to welcome serial traveler Helen Lloyd to the podcast for this the 9th Trail and Adventure Motorbike Podcast. Helen has ridden on nearly all the continents and has published two great books on her travels by bicycle through Africa and along the Road of Bones to Magadan, before she saw the light and got a bike with an engine. Helen has managed to achieve an enviable, sustainable life where she can spend most of her time on the road. Find out how she manages it...

TAMP Episode 9 With Helen Lloyd

Chris Bone talks us through his amazing 5 month trip from Yorkshire to the southern most tip of south Africa, crossing 25 countries. Whilst not swimming with crocodiles, nor meeting the Christmas vacationing gorillas, nonetheless Chris tells some great stories like the ones where he ignored some machete wielding 'amateur bandits' and ran away from a drunken immigration official. We get to the bottom of daily life on the road in Africa and ponder the continuing existence of old overland motorbikes.

TAMP Episode 8 With Chris Bone

In this episode we welcome, or I should say I welcome, as poor Noel is sick, Tim Cooper of 'UKJeeper' fame. Tim has recently ridden 11,000 miles in 6 weeks across the Trans America Trail. Amongst the many top TAT tips Tim tells us (t'alliteration!) how he flew with his bike to Canada and back for not much more money than the price I was recently quoted to get my bike shipped from Manchester to southern Spain! I hope you enjoy it, if you did, please let us have any feedback on our Facebook page. Cheers.

TAMP Episode 7 With Tim Cooper

In this long awaited 6th episode we are trialing our new recording equipment, which will hopefully banish bad sound quality for ever. Noel has been scouting new TET trails in northern Spain whilst being chased by wild boars. We visit the bike show, and in our imaginations, come away with a Honda CRF250L, a KTM 690 Adventure, the new Norton Atlas Scrambler and a Triumph Scrambler 1200 XE. We ponder whether AJP have made the best TET bike ever (AJP PR7 Adventure), discuss emotional attachments to inanimate objects and our differing views on, well, everything, but especially safety gear.

TAMP Episode 6 Back with the TAMP Team

We are joined by Steve Stout and Lucy Dunn. Steve was the driving force behind the re-building of the Old Coach Road in north Cumbria. From the TAT to the TET, Steve has traveled and worked all over the world and tells us some great tales from his time in places like Antarctica, and why he is opposed to HEP schemes in Albania. The sound quality is a bit rubbish, sorry, we need to improve our microphone technique! But Steve tells a very informative and instructional story of how he managed and funded the work on the Old Coach Road. If you contributed, it's a fine way of finding out where your money went.

TAMP Episode 5 With Steve Stout And Lucy Dunn
