I have a PowerPoint talk which I have presented at a wide variety of venues.

It was made for the UK Horizons Unlimited rally in 2007 where I showed it to fellow and ‘would-be’ motorcycle travellers. But it is equally relevant for any group of individuals who need a bit of inspiration to follow a dream. We attended the ‘Royal Enfield Big Day Out in Redditch’ shortly after where I had to talk without slides as they didn’t show up against the white tent on a bright sunny day

Other venues include a Local History club in Bristol where I felt honoured to be considered of historical interest; a combined Norton and Enfield club in Northamptonshire where I was given accommodation and dinner by the organisers; an Advanced Motorcycle Group who didn’t throw me out even though I admitted to breaking lots of rules and not wearing a helmet when I was travelling; a Women’s Institute where 'madam secretary’ wore a hat and gloves, “Jerusalem” was sung and the evening finished with a hearty National Anthem. I was given home made cake and bought jam.

Next was a residential home for the elderly where the residents enjoyed telling me more about their motorcycling days more than hearing about mine. “We had an AJS and my husband and I used to go all over the country on it”. Another resident recalled his Matchless days.

Talking to 300 people at Bristol’s “Wilderness Lectures” was daunting but a great honour. It was fun getting the Enfield onto the stage. It’s very vain and tries to appear at all my talks. I feel more confident if it’s there, too. I am particularly grateful for having talked at this event as I was contacted afterwards by some people who subsequently took their motorcycle test and have been travelling themselves. We aim to inspire and have been told that I’ve sown a seed which grew into independent motorcycle travel. I have made good friends with people who have attended my talks, too.

We have been to Aardman Studios famous for Wallace and Gromit and I was shown where the models are made and filmed.
