A guide for all drivers of 4x4s containing important information for those that never go off road, plus essential, detailed and copious information for those that do - recreationally and professionally.

During TOM SHEPPARD'S career in the Royal Air Force as a pilot and test pilot he planned, led and trained teams for numerous expeditions and operations - among them the first coast-to-coast crossing of the Sahara through the Mauritanian Empty Quarter for which he received the Royal Geographical Society's Ness Award. He has now totalled more than 100,000 overland miles on four and two wheels and has been a 4x4 owner for over 30 years. Apart from navigating aircraft, his navigation experience has spanned sun compasses, astro navigation, Transit sat-nav and use of GPS and satellite imagery to supplement otherwise uncertain mapping. Between expeditions, he has worked for British Aerospace and been 4x4 consultant to a major international manufacturer. On this, the logistics and planning of expeditions and the hugely exciting implications of space technology on mapping, positioning and communications he admits he is unlikely to ever stop learning.
