  • Entertaining Resource

    After reading his Tarifa to Norway book, I have now gone through most of his podcasts now. Besides a great listen or read, there is lots of useful info for cycle touring in general or for a particular location. After doing Preston to Walsingham (off-road) for charity, has been great for inspiring more trips including a C2C of the Wall and Atlantic to Med’ is in the planning stage.

  • Great Inspiration For Long Distance Cycle Touring

    As someone who’s longest European cycling trip is 611km, it is inspiring to listen to someone who’s dialed it up so many notches from there. Inspiring podcast! I will definitely be purchasing your book about your 4500km cycle tour around France as soon as it comes out.
