Description
Circles In The Sand is a behind-the-scenes look at the 2001 Paris-Dakar rally, a gruelling off-road adventure that tested the limits of riders and crew. Journalist Alastair Walker joined the press plane and experienced the rally's dangers firsthand, from sleeping rough on desert airstrips to arguing with heavily armed men over the price of water.
The 2001 Paris-Dakar was a war of attrition between BMW and KTM, with crashes, dubious rule changes, and landmines posing a constant threat. Walker takes the reader on a journey alongside Brit enduro racer John Deacon, offering a unique insight into the rally's inner workings and the challenges faced by competitors.
This book is a unique and unvarnished account of one of the most extreme off-road events on the planet, a true story of endurance and survival in the harsh conditions of the Sahara desert.
