We have great pleasure in inviting you to what will be a very interesting evening – Thursday 24th October 2024 HIT THE ROAD JAC! – SEVEN YEARS FROM INDIA TO BRISTOL ON AN ENFIELD BULLET!

Jacqui Furneaux will reveal the story of her unexpected and unplanned lengthy journey through 20 countries with her trusty 500cc motorbike. It tells the reasons for this epic trip and how a six-month holiday became a seven year way of life in Asia, Australasia and the Americas. Hear how a 50 year-old nurse becomes a mechanic and adapts to life on dusty roads and goat tracks from the mountains to the sea, through barren deserts to lush jungles.

Topics covered include:-

How it all started; the 500cc Enfield Bullet motorcycle; the travel method and tips on how to do it; benefits and disadvantages of being female in this activity; triumph over adversity; people met along the way; highs and lows, fun and fear!

The talk lasts for about an hour including time for questions. It’s peppered with pictures but is not a slide show of beautiful landscapes and sunsets. It will appeal not only to motorcyclists and travellers but to anyone who could do with a bit of inspiration to follow a dream.

Refreshments will be provided.

Places are limited and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. Members (associate or full), family and friends welcome. To book your place(s), please e-mail helen@nsam.org.uk
