Great North Road. London to Edinburgh - 11 Days, 2 Wheels and 1 Ancient Highway, Paperback

Travelling by bike at a stately 14 mph, Steve Silk heads north, searching out milestones and memories, coaching inns and coffee shops. The Great North Road is a journey as satisfying for the armchair traveller as the long-distance cyclist. Enriched with history, humour and insight, it's a tribute to Britain and the endless appeal of the open road.
