Mike Carter
A very readable and and often very funny account of how Mike cycled around the coast of Great Britain. The trials of cycling hit the spot but it's more about the scenery and people who he meets en route. He comes to the conclusion that Britain is far from broken as the politicians and media would have us believe. The acts of kindness blend with his experiences of those living alternative lifestyles to give him a different perspective on life in general and his in particular. I don't know if he's still running, or rather cycling, from or towards unknown forces; in a strange way I hope he isn't and has found peace like the ferryman he meets but there again this book may not have been written without that in his blood. Makes a rainy commute across London seem like a walk in the park.
