Many twenty- and thirty-somethings intend to "do" an extreme adventure, somewhere exotic, but most just dream or join the coach tour. Trevelyan Edwards dared to cycle and walk alone.
‘Cycling Solo: Ireland to Istanbul’ explores five months of cycling solo across Europe. From Ireland to Istanbul via the UK, France, Germany, the Swiss Alps, Serbia, Bulgaria, Hungary and Turkey, with
9000 kilometres of forgettable camp-sites, punctures, falls and random kindnesses inbetween, this is a journey worth sharing, particularly when told with such candour. All on a budget of nothing.
In "Cycling Solo", Trevelyan has found his voice but the bike is in bits! Aimed at those seeking adventure and imaginative problem solving, this book appeals to backpackers, travellers and those who enjoy "beinig there".
Crafted short ex-blog entries and ironic captions also make it appealing for those who like a quick read.
