Cycling South - Steven Herrick - Bog

Award-winning author Steven Herrick journeys from the Highlands of Scotland to the Islands of the Mediterranean on a bicycle - a stirring 4,000 kilometre adventure along dedicated bike lanes and on rural back roads. Accompanied by his wife, Cathie and their two hardy bicycles christened Bruce and Aiwa, this is an absorbing meander from the craggy peaks of Scotland to the sun-baked landscape of Sardinia. The only past time more important than cycling is sampling the culinary delights of Scottish cafes, English pubs, French restaurants, Spanish tapas bars and the pizzerias of Sardinia.'Cycling South' is a bicycle adventure, a restaurant safari and an entertaining handbook for those who enjoy slow food and long-distance cycling.Reviews for other Steven Herrick books in the EuroVelo Series: 'Simply put, I loved this book!'
