RESTLESS LANES<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n

AN ANXIOUS CYCLE FROM ONE END OF BRITAIN TO THE OTHER<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n

What would happen if your definition of adventure meant cycling solo from one end of Britain to the other?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I did just that. A thousand mile one-way trip from Land\u2019s End to John o\u2019 Groats. Not as a honed athelete, you understand, but as a middle-aged, apprehensive, would-be adventurer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From terrifying dual carriageway encounters, battering storms, and crippling loneliness, my story also captured moments of sheer joy, breathtaking landscapes, and forgotten histories. All whilst a cacophony of restless voices fought for prominence in my head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Restless Lanes<\/em><\/strong> is my own personal love letter to this wondrous isle; a love fuelled by curiosity and exploration. An unbreakable connection carved from blood, sweat, and fears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUltimately, Restless Lanes succeeds because it feels authentic. It captures the vulnerability that often accompanies bicycle travel yet rarely makes it onto the page.”<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201c. . . the author\u2019s struggles to complete the journey are not just confined to aching limbs but lay bare his battle with his own mind to be able to sum up the drive to turn the pedals. That in itself makes the book more readable, more human and more real.”<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Book Launch – 17th July 2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Had a really great night at the Restless Lanes<\/em><\/strong> book launch event at The Deepend in Glasgow. Hosted by the incomparable Danny Alderslowe, we heard about sustainable cycling initiatives and had a wee blether about my book with some lovely Q&As.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to everyone who came along and made it a great night!
