Description
On Roads That Echo, Charlie Walker's epic bicycle journey through Asia and Africa, is a true adventure in every sense. Spanning two-and-a-half years and 44,000 miles, this perilous odyssey takes the reader on a thrilling ride through the mountains and deserts of former Soviet Republics, Afghanistan, and the Congolese jungle.
From hiking through sandstorms in the Gobi desert to barrellling down rapids in a dugout canoe, Walker's many encounters along the way offer a unique glimpse into the past, present, and future of often-overlooked places during periods of great change. With empathy, perception, and a wealth of background knowledge, Walker colourfully portrays the lands and lives encountered, making this book a compelling read for anyone interested in travel and adventure.
