| | | ‘“Come on lads!” one of the other attendees on the expedition course shouted out. The rest of the team immediately jumped up, throwing their bags on their backs. I quietly followed. I wondered if it had been said as a dig – ‘as the only woman you are not properly part of the team’. Or was it simply that I was invisible to the others?’ In 2016, Bex Band decided to walk the length of Israel with her husband: a 1,000km trek including a dangerous crossing through the vast Negev Desert. She’d never done anything like it before and the experience changed her life, building back her confidence and self-esteem. Publishing this month, Three Stripes South tells the story of this transformative adventure – battling heat, exhaustion, self-doubt and prejudice – and the new life Bex built for herself when she got home, founding the Love Her Wild women’s adventure community. In this month's issue of The Travel Club, which is out today, Bex shares her journey and the inspiration behind a movement that has taken thousands of women on expeditions around the world. Also featuring this month: A bird's-eye view: getting the best out of your avian photography On the craft trail in Japan's forgotten north From Surrey to the Serengeti: the wonderful Brian Jackman on a life of travel In pictures: exploring the symbols of Bhutan PLUS exclusive reader discounts from our friends at Lupine Travel and Ishkar, and a flag quiz that will test even the finest vexillologist. | | |
