Publisher's Synopsis
Setting out from Lowestoft with an eight day cycle in front of him, Royston was woefully unprepared. His mission was to cross the country from its most easterly point to the most westerly tip of Wales at St David's, Britain's smallest city. His planning had been rushed and he hadn't put in any training. He certainly hadn't expected to be carrying a passenger but a tiny travel troll had decided to hitch a lift and wasn't proving to be the best of travelling companions.
Travel with Royston Coast to Coast (C2C) across the UK as he does battle with the route and an annoying troll. Not only does the troll keeps reminding him, every pedal stroke of the way, how hard things are and how everything is going to go wrong but he keeps whispering about trains and how much easier they are on the legs.
Royston follows Sustrans National Cycle Network using Regional Route 30 and National Routes 1 and 4 to completely traverse the country at one of its widest points, visiting London en-route.
A useful read for anyone setting out on a long distance, multi day cycle and a great insight for anyone interested in sharing the experience.
