Acerca de esta escucha

The plan is simple. George and Ben have three weeks to cycle 1,000 miles from the bottom of England to the top of Scotland. There's just one small problem - they have no bikes, no clothes, no food, and no money. Setting off in just a pair of Union Jack boxer shorts, they attempt to rely on the generosity of the British public for everything from food to accommodation, clothes to shoes, and bikes to beer.

During the most extraordinary of challenges, George and Ben scavenge through rubbish bins, search for the Loch Ness monster, wash dishes, clean hotels, sing Christmas carols for food, swim in lakes, descend Cornish hills on children's bikes, and cook a barbecue for 30 old people in a field. They spend the night in a greenhouse, a canal boat, a posh hotel, an empty house, a pub, a tent in a car park, and a barn with a bull.

Through the course of their hysterical journey, they are clothed, fed, and sheltered by the generous people of Britain.

Hilarious

Just the concept of a long distance bike trip in which you start out in only boxer shorts (no other clothes, money or even bikes) grabbed my attention. Then the book just sucked me in and I had a hard time putting it down. Thank you George for your story - I LOVED IT!

Travel and humor

The author and his best friend decide to bike from one tip of England to the other. They only have a few obstacles in the way: they don't have bikes..Or money. Or clothes.
Yes, they start their journey in their underpants, and travel along to see if they can depend on the kindness of strangers. I've listened to this multiple times and enjoy it every time.

Hilarious adventure!

Just listened and followed the route in Google Maps. Even marked some places to visit. So much laugh and so many unbelievable meetings, pure kindness. And of course the main thing - I wondered so many times when they end up continuing solo but they never did, stayed together until the end in John o' Groats. Great fellows and great adventure!

Funny and inspiring.

I had read this book previously, but had to give it a listen. Now I wish I could book a flight to Scotland to see the home of my ancestors.

Hilarious tale

I loved this book, the story and narration both. There is no way I’d have the guts to travel like Ben and Gorge, but I laughed out loud hearing George recount their story and the shenanigans they get into on the journey from Lands End to John O Groats. A must read for any travelers planning an upcoming adventure!

Engaging, humorous and enjoyable

Really enjoyed this. Funny and engaging all the way from Lands End to QThe narrator was just right and portrayed the experiences of the two cyclists really well. If you like adventure and humour, you will love this!

Such an innocent adventure!

Listened to much of the book on a lonely drive to Lake Tahoe, there and back again, same day. Laughed out loud so many times it made the long drive, both ways, surprisingly enjoyable. 😂🤣😂

A great book for driving

I spend a lot of time in the car, and this decidedly non-vehicular journey is a wonderful companion. Well read.
