Description

Aged twenty-two, Charlie Walker left home in search of adventure. Fleeing the comfort that often brings boredom, he set off on a secondhand bicycle with a simple aim: to pedal to the furthest point in each of Europe, Asia and Africa.

Living wild and sleeping rough in myriad countries, Charlie came to appreciate life's simple pleasures and glory in the beauty that abounds in both nature and humanity. The journey was an escape from an unremarkable existence, a pursuit of hardship, and a chance to shed the numbing complacency of middle England.

The quest provided ample opportunity for Charlie to test his mettle, often with near-fatal consequences. Ultimately, though, the toughest challenge was entirely unforeseen.
