We’re very pleased to welcome Damon l’Anson of Blazing Trails Tours as our guest speaker: from despatch rider to adventure tour guide, few can have enjoyed such a varied motorcycling career! This Members Evening is for anyone who has nurtured dreams of a biking trip in distant lands…
Damon worked with bikes since he was 17, as a despatcher, mechanic & bike journalist. Involved in the launch of RiDE Magazine, he became its deputy editor before moving to edit Performance Bikes. In 2002 he went freelance, first as road test editor of Bike Magazine and later specialising in adventure touring. He has ridden on four continents and in over 30 countries. In 2005 Damon made a 16,000km ‘lap’ of India on an indigenous 150cc bike for a Bike Magazine series and the following year returned on a Yamaha XT660-R to set a solo bike altitude record at 18,743ft. In 2006, he entered and won the high-altitude, seven-day Raid-de-Himalaya and has been working with Blazing Trails Tours ever since
“Blazing Trails run a number of tours in Asia, Africa and occasionally Europe. From huge adventures like riding the world’s highest road at over 19,000ft, to the green mountains and tropical beaches of Kerala, the company offers routes to suit all levels of riding ability and adventurous intent”
