Adventure riding magazine Overland has announced more than 30 speakers and guests lined-up for its Overland live event on the last weekend of August. Show regulars Ted Simon and Sam Manicom will be there, alongside some less well-known names, like round-the-world rider and academic Esa Aldegheri, German round-the-world Vespa rider Markus Mayer and Irish policeman Ken McGreevy, who headed east on a GT550 Kawasaki twelve years ago and subsequently wrecked it in the Kazakhstan desert… Alongside talks, there are workshops covering everything from first aid to photography, chances to test ride some of the latest motorcycles, an introduction to off-road skills and live entertainment in the evenings, all included in the ticket price. Weekend tickets cost £108 and give access to the whole event, including three nights camping.
Overland has also announced that it raised more than £3000 for African motorcycle charity Pikilily at last year’s event.
