Bike computers have replaced maps and thousands of cycle paths now criss-cross Britain. It didn't help that he now lives in Australia and spends more time on a paddle board than two wheels. With little training and a borrowed bike, he set off from Land's End, determined to enjoy every moment. \u003cbr\u003e Faced with so many natural distractions he soon began deviating from the plan. With many miles to cover, along remote tracks, these diversions came at a price and something had to break. Would it be the bike, the camaraderie or Alistair's inquisitive nature?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Along the way he survived heatstroke in Devon, went in search of a lady called Daphne and braved wild storms in Glasgow. After a swim in Loch Ness he found time to enjoy a beer in one of the remotest pubs in Scotland. Everyone who travels across Britain has a story to tell. This is Alistair's.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you like travel books, you'll enjoy this inspirational story, which shows that with luck, curiosity and perseverance, anything is possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alistair McGuinness\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0994316534\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780994316530\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bongo Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/31\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 258\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.77lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.54d","brand":"Alistair McGuinness","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43927189913855,"sku":"9780994316530","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_55b054b4-a0ae-4f99-a6f6-b45843bf79bc.jpg?v=1681087375","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/slow-down-and-enjoy-the-alistair-mcguinness-9780994316530","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
