By Any Means: His Brand New Adventure From Wicklow to Wollongong

Description

Bikes have always been Charley s first love, but he also enjoys a challenge. So when the chance comes to travel across three continents by any means , he jumps right in. Grabbing whatever local transport he can get his hands on, Charley travels from his home town in County Wicklow all the way to Australia - a trip of over 20,000 miles through twenty-five countries. Testing Charley s skills and stamina to the limit, this new journey offers him a unique opportunity to meet people and learn firsthand all about their countries. He drives a lorry through northern Iran, rides a tuk-tuk through the chaotic and colourful city of Varanasi, and becomes the first person ever to wakeboard across the Malay/Singapore border. He sets up his own bus service in Turkey, takes a slow boat down the Mekong, and a very fast one through Borneo to deliver vaccines for UNICEF. And of course he jumps on a bike whenever he can, even if there s a monsoon on the way...

Charley Boorman is the author of RACE TO DAKAR and co-author of LONG WAY DOWN and LONG WAY ROUND. All are bestsellers. He lives in London with his wife and two daughters.

"Replete with colorful characters, hair-raising action and enough raw machismo to knock over an elephant." "Kirkus Reviews" on "Race to Dakar""
