Description: Theresa Wallach was an amazing woman, who rode a motorcycle and sidecar with Florence Blenkiron from London to Cape Town in 1935, including a crossing of the Sahara Desert that would have defeated most motorcyclists of either sex. Barry Jones has added an account of the return trips of the two,who separated in Cape Town, and biographies of the two women covering their eventful lives after the trip. It is a fascinating story and well told. It will appeal to old and young, motorcyclists or not.
