Welcome to OVERLAND, the magazine for anyone who travels, or dreams of travelling by motorcycle.

You’ll find adventure motorcycle travel stories from around the world and around the UK, because whether it’s six days or six months, there is nothing quite like loading up the panniers and just riding off.

We aim to bring the beauty of the world a little closer and inspire you to get out there and enjoy the sights, sounds and smells for yourself.

Issue 1 contained articles from Austin Vince; pioneer of the infamous Siberian route to Magadan, Lois Pryce; inspirational solo female traveller who’s ridden the length of Africa and the Americas, and Sam Manicom, accidental overland motorcyclist, among others, as well as terrific photography from Matt Bailey.

Issue 2 has a contribution from that doyen of adventure travel writing, Ted Simon, as well as multi-published author Simon Gandolfi and new writers Frederic Jeorge and Jacqui Furneaux among others. Plus there are stunning images from photographers Andy McGregor, Merv Colton and Sara Hamidi.

Whatever you ride and wherever you go, enjoy every mile, savour every moment and maybe we’ll meet on the road somewhere.
