Go West by Steve Silk
What would happen if you got on a bike in central London and didn't stop riding until you hit the Welsh coast? Steve Silk, the best-selling author of The Great North Road, provides the answer over eight days, 300 miles and rather a lot of hills. Enriched with history, Go West is a must for anyone who has ever dreamed of a cycling adventure.
Steve's adventure reminds us all that wildness and countryside is never more than a bike ride awayYou don't need to fly around the world for an adventure: all you need to do is step outside your front door, pedal out of town, and keep going! * Alastair Humphreys *
Cycling from London to Pembrokeshire in just one week, Steve Silk is a great guide, enthusiastic and sensitive to the contours of the landscape through which he passes, and the stories and secrets buried within. It's a timely reminder that real adventure can still be found right beneath our noses, and a joyous rallying cry for middle-aged couch potatoes everywhere. * Mike Parker *
Relatable from the very first page, Steve's razor-sharp observations of human behaviour are as good a reason to pick up this book as the cycling journey itself. A historically fascinating, witty sojourn from the streets of our capital city right through to the tiny Welsh hamlets where Steve is welcomed with no Wi-Fi and an outside loo. A thoroughly enjoyable - and educational - read. * Rachel Ann Cullen *
