	CHRIS SCOTT first visited the Sahara on a motorcycle in 1981 and has since returned 20 times as a tour leader, to research his motorcycling and Saharan guidebooks and to shoot the odd film.
	ANDY BELL has, by comparison, visited the Sahara a mere 3 times. First as a tourist, then on a motorcycle tour of Libya and, most recently on an unsupported passage of the Atlantic Route on an XR600.
	JON ESCOMBE also travelled with Andy in Libya and recently as a co-driver with Chris in Algeria. Races supermoto or MX most weekends, with plans for desert rallies on his sandboard.
