Travel The Planet Overland
"Travel The Planet Overland is what all guide books should strive to be. Each page is packed with valuable information, but presented in a way that keeps readers interested and entertained cover to cover. The Bell’s writing is witty, easy to understand, and full of anecdotes that will help you actually remember their advice in the field. To put it simply, where most guide books read like an overly verbose professor, TTPO is like having a beer with an experienced overlander around the fire; helpful, to the point, and entertaining as all hell.
Chris Cordes, Managing Editor, Expedition Portal"

Travel the Planet Overland was an easy read and one done over a few days. Containing humour, facts and great photography.
The author(s) style clearly comes through with each page, bringing humour and experience to the subjects discussed. A note on this, sections can switch from humour to lists with facts and then back again. So it's a very blended book containing both.
The photography/photographs really stand out in this hard back edition and found myself flicking through initially to look at the pictures. It has the quality of a good photo book and seeing a picture of the Land Rover on a full page picture was quite a nice change from other books of this ilk.
I read the first book, We will be free and enjoyed the story they had and recommended it since, signing up to support this book on Kickstarter and so proud that could make this book a reality.
So in summary, if you are looking for an exhaustive guide on overlanding going through the many, many options such as others, although this has info on that. It's not so much about that. It is though good as a jumping off point to make you think or push you over the edge and really go at Overlanding.
So for me the book sets out as the author(s) have said from the beginning "inspire others"
