Embark on a delightful adventure across England in The Full English, a cycling narrative that blends humor with history. As the author pedals from the scenic Dorset coast to the cultural hubs of Northumbria, he faces challenging mid-life crises and the ever-present issue of Man-Flu, all while conversing with his sassy bike, Scott. This combination of travelogue and personal memoir provides a unique lens to view the English landscape.
The journey takes readers through an array of picturesque locations, including the mystical Glastonbury, the charming Ludlow, the majestic Peak District, and the serene Yorkshire Dales. Each destination becomes a canvas for exploring England’s rich history, dotted with castles, ancient abbeys, and intriguing towns. The author’s narrative not only documents his cycling experience but also introduces us to a medley of characters—from the friendly and eccentric locals to the more peculiar individuals encountered along the way. Prepare to meet Terry, the Druid Keeper of the Stones, and learn about wartime secrets held by the Gurkhas; the tales are as varied as they are amusing.
