At times laugh out loud funny like Bill Bryson, at times wistful and penetrating like some of Paul Theroux, this book deserves to become a minor classic. At a superficial level, it fits into the road-trip-brought-on-by-a-midlife-crisis genre, but manages to get beyond the flaws typical of that genre to a more interesting place. Much like Paul Theroux's The Happy Isles of Oceania: Paddling the Pacific, the writer begins a trip following the collapse of his marriage in midlife. Unlike Theroux's book, there's no bitterness, but more a sense of dislocation and existential confusion made bearable by looking at the world with good hearted wonderment and self-deprecating humor. He's a lost soul, sure enough, looking for something he doesn't quite find in the pages of the book, bonding long term only with his tent and his bike, but his personal story takes a back seat to the people and scenery he passes by as he circles his native land. A range of characters enlivens the tale, from the unhappiest man in England sitting at the northern end of the Lands End-John O' Groats trail, to passing a fully alive septuagenarian cycling round England in the opposite direction (at a much faster pace than the author), to a motley assembled family gathered at a farm turned flea market in Scotland, to a ferry man who pedaled (bikes and pedal boats) from England to Hawaii (concluding that crossing an ocean in a 23 foot boat or going back and forth a few hundred yards in a ferry is all the same if you just learn to live in the moment). You get a sense for the spectacular beauty of some of the more isolated spaces in Britain, as well as a feel for the hollowed out industrial centers and half abandoned working class seaside resorts left behind in the shift to a finance driven services economy. It's a book I think I will pick up again and reread in whole or part sometime.It's a picaresque tale of the road, but not so much a technical cycling book or a travel guide. The next time I travel around England I'll look through it before going, but it's not trying to do what Rick Steves or Lonely Planet do. In the same way, while to a touring cyclist many aspects of the long distance cycling felt true, it's not really a bike book, any more than Theroux's The Kingdom by the Sea: A Journey Around the Coast of Great Britain or Bill Bryson's Notes from a Small Island are mainly about the British railways. It's about Britain, and about a funny man trying to find his way, with the bike something more than incidental but not the point of the story.
This is an interesting book on many levels. A travel adventure, a bit of learning about British history and an update on the current state of the economy in various parts of Britain. Plus a how-to of off-the-beaten-path travel while cycling and camping, with a few gems of mostly undisturbed scenic places. And a bit of a meditation on the difference between people from the big city, London, versus those living in small towns. The author bicycled around the entire coastline of the UK which is much father than you might first think, because of all the bays and inlets - 5,000 miles he says. Along the way he encounter untold numbers of characters and lots of kind and helpful people.It's well-written too, the author is a professional journalist ( the Guardian ). A fun adventure. If you can't or won't ever make such a trip yourself this will give you a good feel for it.
I'm not done with this book yet, but I'm fascinated with it. I actually bought a copy in England, but gave it to my friend for his birthday. So, I had to purchase a new copy. The book was not on Amazon Prime and it took FOREVER to get. Okay, I'm used to 2 days; this book took over seven days. And I believe it was only coming from Chicago.I'm thankful that I have an English boyfriend, because some of the things said are confusing or mean something completely (and dirty) to Americans. I only wish the map had more locations on it instead of just the base maps. I found out so many places I want to visit next time I'm in the UK. The book also inspired me to do a similar coastal trip on my bike. I have a few people excited to participate.
Great book, I simply didn't want this journey to end.. what is especially good about the book is that the writer actually talks to people on the journey. Its not just about road numbers and place names, but also locals and black pudding... great read.
I've read several books like this, including several about the Lands End to John O' Groats trip. This book stands out for its distinct routing, and for the author's review of how the UK has changed since his childhood, as well as the contrast between normal city living and life on the road. Best of all is his appreciation of his homeland and fellow citizens. Well written. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and recommend it!
I followed his trip on a map. Amazing! I would love to know what he's doing now. I'm getting ready to do the End to End ride next year and this was a good introduction!
An amusing book that is well written, The writer apparently on the staff of a well known national paper the Guardian is at times a little crude in his language but the adventures are interesting and at times the reader needs a decent atlas.
A nice read. On the one hand light reading but on the other lots of tips on how to cope with our crazy life and be happy and settled at the same time. The book has prompted me to embark on my first tiny journey down the South Australian Coorong, naturally with the coast on my right side!
