The Trail and Adventure Motorbike Podcast
The Trail and Adventure Motorbike Podcast is created by Clive Barber and Noel Thom. They are not inspirational, and they will not provide motivation to get you off your butt and travel the world. They are quite a good laugh though, like a couple of old blokes you overhear in the pub, and wish you were sat at their table. Except you don’t need to because they record their conversations. Weird. Yeah, probably. The Trail and Adventure Motorbike Podcast aims to be informative, interesting, and fun. With a mix of ‘celebrity’ and ‘citizen’ storytellers, instructional episodes, beginners guides the podcast is a great way to while away the hours when you can’t be out on your bike.

Most people think they need months of off-road experience to tackle Morocco’s legendary dunes — but what if just a week with the right guidance can transform a novice into a sand-slinging pro? In this episode, we share how our recent motorcycle adventure with Wilderness Wheels shattered expectations, proving that adventure is accessible to almost anyone willing to try.
You'll discover how a diverse group of riders, including those with minimal off-road background, handled the technical desert terrain — and came out unscathed, with stories to tell. We dive into the secrets of riding in sand dunes, from managing throttle and weight distribution to judging the tricky apex of massive sand mountains, turning impossible stumbles into triumphs. If you've ever felt intimidated by desert riding, you'll learn why the right mindset, coaching, and a supportive team can make all the difference.
A special highlight is the return of Noel, who retired from the podcast but came back for this episode. His insights and experiences add a unique perspective, making this journey even more memorable.
We break down the most spectacular moments in Morocco: riding ridges with dizzying drops, navigating narrow gorges that feel like trial bike territory, and dancing through endless sand dunes at sunrise.Whether you're a seasoned rider dreaming of Dakar or a curious newcomer craving your first taste of desert riding, this episode is packed with practical tips, inspiring stories, and insights to get you started. Prepare to rethink what’s possible on two wheels and get motivated to sign up for your own Moroccan adventure.
