She put on her sparkly crash helmet, armed herself with maps and a baffling array of visas, and got on her bike. Destination: Cape Town - and the small matter of tackling the Sahara, war-torn Angola and the Congo Basin along the way - this feisty independent woman''s grand trek through the Dark Continent of Africa is the definitive motorcycling adventure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eColourful and hilarious, \u003ci\u003eRed Tape and White Knuckles\u003c\/i\u003e is an action-packed tale about following your dreams that will have you packing your bags and jetting off into the sunset on your own adventure before you know it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLois Pryce knows what it takes to be a fun, fearless female. She rode solo from London to Cape Town, with the barest of essentials * Cosmopolitan *\u003cbr\u003eA natural storyteller, she brings the African landscape to life in this funny, fast-paced travelogue * Sainsbury's Magazine *\u003cbr\u003eA gutsy tale of one woman and her bike, told with vigour and honesty....she manages to make the journey an enjoyable experience and a solid read. There are the usual chaotic scenes of jumble in border towns, and heart-warming tales of help en route. But there are also some genuinely chilling episodes and these make the book, and perhaps the journey, all too authentic * Irish Times *\u003cbr\u003eLois Pryce defied convention when she decided to travel from London to Cape Town by motorcycle. \u003ci\u003eRed Tape and White Knuckles\u003c\/i\u003e reads like a non-fiction chick-lit adventure as the pasty skinned, heatstroke prone Pryce deals with cultural differences, Africa's troublesome roads and the company of various travellers she meets along the way * Metro *\u003cbr\u003eI really enjoyed this book...every chapter is filled with adventure and anecdotes about the people and situations she encounters along the way. It's a mix of hair-raising incidents, humorous episodes and serious insight into the history and cultural differences she experiences across the African continent. A travelogue with a difference, this would be a great read for the armchair adventurer, someone planning an African expedition or anyone who simply enjoys a good story! * Candis *","brand":"Cornerstone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48732258500951,"sku":"9780099513599","price":10.44,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780099513599.jpg?v=1719996170","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/red-tape-and-white-knuckles-9780099513599","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
