richard and nicholas crane - journey to the centre of the earth

 

what a great read! a journey on bicycles to the pole of inaccessiblity. (somewhere in w china above urumqi). richard did most of the writing and is quite open in places regarding his feeling about things. good on 'im.

 

i didn't want it to end.

 

 

mark beaumont - the man who cycled the world

 

as the title says... from paris to paris in 194 days and 17 hours. 18,297 miles.

Just finished The Hundred Year Old Man who Climbed out of the Window and Disappeared by Jonas Jonasson, which was brilliant. In turns funny, bleak, odd and thrilling.

 

Currently reading The Hanging Valley by Peter Robinson. An early Inspector Banks murder mystery. Quite good so far in an easy reading, page turning, forgotten once finished way.

david miller - awol on the appalachian trail

 

a 41 year old man (wife and 3 kids) leaves his computer programming job to hike the approximately 2,200 mile appalachian trail - from georgia to maine.

it's an easy read and relates the monotony of a 5 month routine of sleep, eat, walk, eat, sleep...very well.
