PRAISE FOR SIMON'S PREVIOUS BOOK, Riding Out
‘A truly inspiring journey that celebrates the healing power of adventure. A must-read.’
Levison Wood
‘Wonderfully relatable on so many levels. Simon’s wanderlust, mental roller coaster and reactions to a fast-changing world had me enthralled in his journey, but very much reflecting on my own over the past few years. A brilliantly crafted book which holds a mirror up to the world we live in.’
Mark Beaumont
‘Simon’s cycle ride around his own country is a fine demonstration that adventure and transformation begins on your own doorstep.’
Alastair Humphreys
