A decent little book about a couple of friends cycling the Lands End to John O'Groats route. It is written in a chatty, easy read style.

Every data is a chapter in it's own right, and it has a little bunch of stats at the end of each chapter covering miles cover total mile, beers drunk and normally some other humorous anecdote.

It is amusing in parts and made me laugh out loud a few times.

A good read for those that like cycle touring books.

I really admire ordinary people who go off and do something a little less ordinary and this book describes exactly that! The author takes on the bike ride from Lands End to John O'Groats but rather than tackling the ride as quickly as possible, she seeks out B roads and cycle paths. Ellie and her friend Mick stop at B&Bs, hostels and campsites along the way, with one quick trip home in Bristol, which they describe as a mistake because it is difficult to get going again. The commentary throughout the book describes the route, the people met along the way, the friendliness and generosity of people, the history of some of the stop off points and even the unfriendliness of some of the hosts - which makes you wonder why these people were in the hospitality business in the first place! I found the book interesting to read and well balanced, with a good measure of humour throughout. An easy read overall but not one that made me want to get on my bike and do the same thing!… (lisätietoja)
