Bearback Summary

Bearback: The World Overland by Dr. Pat Garrod

Imagine jacking it all in, packing your life into a 41-litre pannier and riding into the sunset. Bearback is the story of two GPs who did just that, downing stethoscopes to take off on a motorcycle to see the world. For anyone who has considered escaping the rat race, even for a second, it's an inspiring read. Across the deserts of Africa, over the mountains of the Andes, deep into the jungles of Indochina, and beyond the Arctic Circle; 100,000 miles unsupported through six continents and 64 countries. A circumnavigation of epic proportion it was to become one of the longest journeys ever undertaken by a couple on one motorcycle, a journey destined to change their lives forever. Undoubtedly a story of high adventure, determined resourcefulness and personal discovery, it is also a tale of freedom and love. Capturing not only the beauty and diversity, but also the spirit of our fast-changing world, with its outstanding photos and inquiring prose, Bearback has the uncanny ability to take you there...dirt, dust, flies and all.

About Dr. Pat Garrod

Born in 1964 and qualifying as a doctor in 1988, Pat Garrod was never your typical GP. An inveterate traveller, he has worked in Australia, Saudi Arabia and Zimbabwe. Over the past fifteen years, despite a serious motorcycle accident in his early twenties, he has ridden four times across Africa and circumnavigated the globe, always two-up. He lives with his wife in Dorset. They both still practise medicine.
