THE FULL ENGLISH
from Bike Ride Books
Cycling from the Dorset coast to Northumbria via Glastonbury, Ludlow, the Peak District, and the Yorkshire Dales, the author indulges his passion for the history of England through its castles, abbeys and ancient towns.
Covering 650 miles of England and twelve counties, he struggles heroically with Mid-life Crisis, Man-Flu and also with Scott, a bike with a serious attitude problem.

"Articulate and witty."
London Cyclist magazine

George East, best-selling author of The Mill of the Flea series
I have just read The Full English which has inspired me to cycle from Whitehaven to Whitby taking in the three national parks, if I make it I'll do more...
