Cycling Solo: Ireland to Istanbul

Trevelyan Edwards is a quirky and candid observer as well as a survivor; camping on a budget of next-to-nothing while cycling alone for five months on a mountain bike, with no watch, just a compass and a web log. In this book, he found his voice, but his bike is in bits! From Ireland to Istanbul via Scotland, England, France, the Swiss Alps, Germany, Austria, Slovakia, Serbia, Bulgaria, Hungary and Turkey; with forgettable campsites, random kindnesses, eccentrics, falls, punctures and steep kilometres in between; this is worth sharing. Along the way, his blog entries have been crafted into this book. The co-authors are a mother-and-son writing partnership. Orienteering was a family sport which meant map reading and getting lost were weekly challenges - but the family that blogs together, stays together!
