Eat, Sleep, Cycle: a bike ride around the coast of Britain
Published 2015 by Summersdale
‘A wonderfully worded whirl around beautiful Britain!’
~ Roz Savage, ocean rower and environmental ambassador
For Anna, a cycling enthusiast, the decision to ride 4,000 miles solo around the coast of the UK wasn’t that hard. Following the river from London until it became the sea, then following the sea until it reached the mouth of the Thames again, was a beautifully simple idea. But after epic highs, incredible lows, unforgettable scenery and unpronounceable place names, her simple idea turns into a compelling journey of self-discovery, and an eye-opening insight into what makes the island she lives on so special.
