More Manchester Than Mongolia: An Unexpected Road Trip Through Back Road Britain (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781739622251)

The Comic Memoir of a Grand Plan Gone WrongWINNER: Readers' Favorite 5* Seal 2025

"I haven't laughed so much at the written word since Pam Ayres released Some of Me Poetry in 1976!" Drew Johnson, Author of the Anadalucian Adventures series.

When Jackie and Mark bought The Beast, a vintage, six-wheel army lorry sight unseen off the internet, they planned the ultimate overland adventure to Mongolia with their four dogs. But when COVID-19 slammed shut international borders - it abruptly rerouted their dream.

Stranded in the U.K., they tackle life on the road in a home-built truck camper laughably over-engineered for the quaint English countryside. What follows is a laugh-out-loud British road trip, filled with mishaps, mechanical mayhem - and the hidden marvels of their homeland.

Blending travel tales with dogs, wit, and heart, More Manchester than Mongolia is a celebration of embracing life when it doesn't go to plan. Perfect for fans of Bill Bryson, Tony Hawks, and Mark Wallington, this is a funny, feel-good memoir of resilience, rediscovery, and finding that sometimes, the best adventures are the ones we never intended to take.
