 1st half was the best bit August 21, 2008
I really enjoyed reading the first part of this book as Ted travelled down through Africa. He seemed focussed on the journey ahead, seemed interested in all the contrasting people around him and included lots of detail about his bike. From South America onwards however, he seemed to lose interest in the trip and dwelled far too long on certain events. He also skipped through whole countries in a matter of a couple of pages. His philosophising on whether he might be a God was irritating and at this point I found myself skipping pages. Disappointing in places.
Great read! June 25, 2008
I'm a busy mother of 4 and have found this book pure escapism. It's been a facinating insight into the world back in the 70's (when I was a child!). I enjoyed Ewan and Charley's adventures but now I can see where their inspiration came from. It's not always a light read but I can't recommend it enough!
This is a brilliant book February 16, 2008
I love this book, it's one of my treasured favourites and I have re-read it many times over the years. From our armchair we go with Ted around the world, sharing in his fears, joys and small triumphs. He is an excellent writer who shows many insights; we get to know him as a friend. I enjoyed the follow-up, Riding High too, but not as much as this one.
Great travel story November 19, 2007
This is a wonderful book. Very well written and drags you in to his journey. If you love travel and seeing the world, get this. Great read.

Brought this book on holiday to Bulgaria to pick up and read a few pages each day by the pool.Ended up reading the whole book in 2 days. Could not put it down. Just can't wait to read follow up.
