Having already pedalled 18,000 miles from Britain to Beijing, Charlie Walker’s homeward leg carried him a further 26,000 miles through Central Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.

The two-and-a-half-year journey spanned the mountains and deserts of former Soviet Republics, Afghanistan on the fearful brink of foreign withdrawal, and remote corners of the Congolese jungle. From hiking through sandstorms in the Gobi desert to barreling down rapids in a dugout canoe, this perilous adventure, and Charlie’s many encounters along the way, gives insight into the past, present, and future of often-overlooked places during periods of great change.

What a story of adventure. Thank you sir for rekindling my wonderment of the world. If nothing else, I saw the fools errand of letting doubt and societal pressure corral us into smaller worlds. Thanks again.

Amazing

I enjoyed. This book made me want to learn more about the world I live in, the people. Beautifully described experiences and thoughts. Some parts seemed skipped over too quickly. Some parts made me laugh, some made me tear up a bit as I lived trough this beautiful journey! Thank you for this book!
