When Andy and his wife, Kim, set out on their Harley to discover the Furthest Points of Spain and Portugal, they picture beautiful weather, glorious scenery and delicious food.

From a near-death experience and roadside sex stalls to bizarre Gaudí architecture and quirky, rural accommodation, will the trip deliver more than they anticipate, or will the torrential rain and gale-force winds send them scurrying home before completing their journey?

Perfect for fans of Bill Bryson, Ted Simon's Jupiter's Travels and Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman's The Long Way Round and The Long Way Down.

Critical Acclaim for The Furthest Points

"An excellent book, and proof that you don't need to ride to Baluchibackwardstan to come up with a really good bike adventure book. Andy's a natural writer with a great turn of phrase, as well as funny, self-deprecating, interested in people, culture, history and the world around him. Highly recommended." Geoff Hill, Long Distance Adventure Rider, Daily Mirror Columnist and Author.

"As a Harley rider myself I loved reading about Andy's misadventures on two wheels, but whether you're a biker or not, you can't fail to be charmed by this fun travelogue. It's packed with evocative details and amusing anecdotes that really paint a picture of the region and will have you itching to set off and explore." Zoe Francis-Cox, Editor HOG Tales, the Harley Owners Group magazine.

"Andy Hewitt's sense of humour shines through this entertaining memoir. His expressive style is easy to read, and I admired both he and his wife for battling through some incredibly difficult situations. It's a great read, and I'll certainly be looking out for further escapades from this terrific team." Beth Haslam, Author of the Fat Dogs and French Estates series.

"I have read many motorcycle travel books and this is the one that I enjoyed the most. Thank you, Andy, for these days of entertainment." Joan M Carreras, Amazon Reviewer.
