The plan is simple. George and Ben have three weeks to cycle 1000 miles from the bottom of England to the top of Scotland. There's just one small problem - they have no bikes, no clothes, no food, and no money. Setting off in just a pair of Union Jack boxer shorts, they attempt to rely on the generosity of the British public for everything from food to accommodation, clothes to shoes, and bikes to beer.

Top Notch Narrator
Revisado: 08-29-22
I read this book a few years back (my review below) and listened to it again as an audio book. So to update this is one of the best narrators I've heard, he does a fantastic job of the accents male female, drunk, Scottish or what ever, top notch!
So two guys travelled from lands end to John Groats relying on nothing but the generosity of the public. One of them wrote a book about it and some cheeky amazon reviewer had the cheek to say he wishes the book was free.
This was a very enjoyable book, I found myself laughing out loud many times at the reactions of the many people that George and Ben meet when they hear of their adventure. George doesn't go out of his way to glamourize his adventure and its all completely genuine, relatable and is a very heart warming and inspiring account of his and Ben's adventure.
Each chapter for each day of their adventure, you'll find yourself smiling at the telling's of the generosity of the people that these two guys meet, the hilarious characters that they meet and situations that they find themselves in.
SPOILER ALERT
One such example is when they meet a drunk in Carlisle who says they can stay at his cottage for the night. Who then claims to be a former hitman with exceptional gardening skills.
You'll laugh at the situations and how frustrated Ben and Geoege get with each other sometimes. Your heart will warm at the generosity of the British public. And you'll be inspired by the sheer will, effort and determination these two guys show.
This book has over 4000 reviews for a very good reason.
Highly recomended!

A compelling thriller introducing a driven young detective trying to prove herself in the LAPD. Renée Ballard works the night shift in Hollywood, beginning many investigations but finishing none as each morning she turns her cases over to day shift detectives. A once up-and-coming detective, she's been given this beat as punishment after filing a sexual harassment complaint against a supervisor.

Absolutely gripping story with loads of twists and turns, highly recommended. 'Excellent series launch ... What follows is classic Connelly: a master class of LAPD internal politics and culture, good old-fashioned detective work, and state-of-the-art forensic science - plus a protagonist who's smart, relentless, and reflective ... once again, he delivers.'
