The Trail and Adventure Motorbike Podcast

Send us Fan MailThe Adventure Motorcycle Film Festival team — Clive Barber and Simon Josey — look back on the 2026 edition with the kind of grin you only get after pulling off something special. The inaugural festival didn’t just meet expectations; it smashed them. A sold‑out crowd at the Brewery Arts Centre, filmmakers from across the UK and beyond, and a community that proved just how hungry riders are for real, human, two‑wheeled storytelling. Now, with momentum behind them, they are already shaping AMFF27, more voices, and a bigger platform for the stories that define adventure riding.As part of the 2026 reflections, the team also caught up with three filmmakers whose work lit up the screen. Danny Lilwall spoke about turning everyday rides into emotional narratives that resonate far beyond the trail. Nick Jacobs shared how he balances cinematic craft with the raw unpredictability of travel. And Thomas Dance reflected on capturing the quiet, introspective moments that make adventure riding more than just miles on a map. Their passion, creativity, and willingness to push the genre forward embody exactly what the festival was built to celebrate.

Send us Fan MailMotorcycling demands more than skill and adrenaline — it requires a level of fitness that helps riders stay in control, avoid injury, and maintain stamina on long days in the saddle. James White, th eowner of 'We Are Full Gas', who specialises in working with motorcyclists, highlights how the right physical preparation can make riders faster, safer, and more confident on the bike.His approach focuses on five key areas: core strength for stability, balance training for better handling, flexibility to prevent tightness and strain, cardiovascular fitness for endurance, and nutrition to fuel both riding and training. Each element plays a different role, from improving cornering control to reducing fatigue and keeping reaction times sharp. Many riders overlook these fundamentals, but they’re essential for consistent performance.By weaving these habits into a weekly routine — a mix of strength work, balance drills, stretching, cardio sessions, and smarter eating — riders can noticeably improve how they feel and perform on the bike. The message is simple: start small, stay consistent, and treat fitness as part of your riding toolkit.motorcycle fitness, riding training, mobility, nutrition, endurance, strength training, motorcycle riding tips Support the showMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/danijel-zambo/borders

In this episode, we delve into the fascinating story of Guy Markham, who transitioned from a decade in private security to becoming a beloved figure in the online motorcycling community. Join us as we explore his experiences, challenges, and the humor that fuels his content.The Shift from Security to Content CreationGuy Markham spent over ten years in private security, working mainly in the film industry. However, when the writer's strike hit, he found himself with unexpected free time. "I started making silly videos and sending them to my friends while I was out of work," Guy recalls. This lighthearted approach soon blossomed into something much bigger, as his friends encouraged him to share his videos online. Little did he know, this was the beginning of a new chapter in his life.The Power of EncouragementIt was during a lunch with friends that the idea to take his videos public really took off. "You should put these videos online, they're really funny," his friends said. Initially hesitant, Guy thought, "I'm 36, no one gives a shit about what I'm doing." But with persistence and encouragement, he took the plunge, and his follower count soon skyrocketed. Today, Guy boasts an impressive following of over 96,000 followers, proving that sometimes all it takes is a little nudge from friends to change your life.Creating Value Through HumorWhat sets Guy apart in the crowded space of content creation is his ability to infuse humor into everything he does. He often emphasizes: "I regularly put disclaimers at the end of my videos saying, you don't need to take my advice on anything." This self-deprecating humor not only entertains but also resonates with his audience, allowing them to connect with him on a deeper level. His approach to sharing his experiences in challenging riding conditions invites viewers to share in the joy and absurdity of life on two wheels.The Journey of GrowthGuy’s journey has not been without its challenges. He reflects on the importance of staying grounded despite gaining popularity. "When you have literally thousands of people saying they like what you're doing, you have to keep yourself in check," he admits. This humility is a testament to his character and a reminder that success should never lead to arrogance. Instead, Guy uses his platform to encourage others to embrace their passions, no matter how unconventional they may seem.Conclusion:  Guy Markham's story is a reminder that life’s detours can lead to unexpected and fulfilling paths. From private security to an online sensation, his journey highlights the importance of friendship, humor, and staying true to oneself.

Send us Fan MailWhat is endometriosis?Endometriosis occurs when cells similar to the ones in the lining of the womb (uterus) are found elsewhere in the body. These cells can grow and change in response to hormones in the menstrual cycle, this can cause inflammation, pain and scar tissue.Endometriosis is most commonly found on the lining of the pelvis (peritoneum) and may occur in the ovaries and involve other pelvic organs, like the bowel or bladder. Less commonly, endometriosis can also be found outside the pelvis, such as in the chest.Endometriosis affects 1 in 10 women and those assigned female at birth from puberty to menopause, although the impact may be felt for life. In the UK, that’s over 1.5 million from all races and ethnicities living with the condition.Types of endometriosisThere are four different types of endometriosis and it’s possible to have more than one type. The different types refer to the location, amount and depth of endometrial lesions.Peritoneal (superficial) endometriosis - is found mainly on the pelvic peritoneum – a thin film that lines the inner surface of the pelvis and surrounds the pelvic organs.Ovarian endometriosis (endometrioma) – is when endometriosis cysts are found in the ovaries.Deep endometriosis - is found in locations such as the bladder, bowel and recto-vaginal septum (tissue separating the vagina and the rectum). The lesions of endometriosis are at a deeper level than peritoneal (superficial) endometriosis.Extra-pelvic endometriosis - is when endometriosis is found outside of the pelvis, such as the thorax (chest) and caesarean scars.A related condition is adenomyosis, where cells similar to the ones in the lining of the womb grow within the muscle of the womb wall. Adenomyosis also responds to the hormones in the menstrual cycle and affects 10% of women and those assigned female at birth. You can have only endometriosis or adenomyosis, although it’s quite common to have both.Endometriosis symptomsSymptoms vary from person to person, some may have severe and debilitating symptoms, others may have no symptoms at all. Symptoms are not always related to the location, amount or the type of endometriosis. It’s also important to know that endometriosis symptoms can also be symptoms of other health conditions. We recommend that you speak to a doctor if your symptoms are interfering with day-to-day life.Common symptoms include:Pelvic painPainful periods that interfere with everyday lifeHeavy menstrual bleedingPain during or after sexPainful bowel movements/when having a pooPain when urinating/peeingDifficulty getting pregnant – up to 70% of those with endometriosis will be able to get pregnant naturallyFatigue, with one or more of the above symptomsMany with endometriosis also experience significant bloating around the time of a period. However, bloating can also be common for those without endometriosis and bloating that does not go away can be a symptom of other health conditions. Having endometriosis can significantly impact mental health and wellbeing. With treatment, many of these issues can be addressed, and the symptoms of endometriosis made more manageable. The main ways to manage and treat endometriosis are, pain management, hormone treatments and surgery. Sometimes it can take time to find a treatment that suits you and response to treatment can vary, please keep speaking to your doctor. It’s important to remember that:Endometriosis symptoms can also be symptoms of other healt Support the showMusic from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!):https://uppbeat.io/t/danijel-zambo/borders
