Elspeth Beard

We've written about Elspeth Beard before - but couldn't help post this video by BMW Motorrad. Globetrotter. Visionary, dreamer, doer. One of my role models.

Elspeth Beard is one of a select band of bold women to ride a motorcycle around the world, and she was the first Englishwoman to do so. She achieved this feat thirty years ago, in the days before sat-nav, internet, email and mobile phones, and she did it mostly alone.
