    Extreme adventurer, zoologist, underwater expert and stuntman, Andy Torbet said: “I love nothing more than exploring with my wife and kids in our motorhome and for years this is how we have holidayed.

    “We were lucky enough to drive our motorhome and two caravans from the UK to the Sahara desert as part of a campaign, taking us across Portugal and Spain and through Morocco."I look forward sharing my real-life stories and meeting visitors in Harrogate in September.”
