Description
Josie Dew's latest journey takes her on a quirky and riotous ride around the British Isles. Beginning in Portsmouth, she sets off clockwise, following 5,000 miles of seaside, estuaries, creeks and islands. Along the way, Josie encounters a range of challenges, from rain and hail to floods and bitter temperatures. As she pedals through the UK, Josie discovers that her homeland can be as surprising and full of incident as anywhere she has ever been. She meets unexpected characters, including a mysterious builder who appears at all the wrong moments, and two-wheeled taggers-on lurking in her wake. But what secrets does Josie uncover at Puckpool Point, Bozomzeal, and Woon Gumpus? Josie's journey is not without its mishaps, as she miscalculates her approach to the seafront at Newhaven, landing instead in France. Despite these setbacks, Josie perseveres, driven by her love of cycling and a desire to explore every corner of the British Isles.
