Synopsis

London, February 2001. Tim Mulliner is fed up with English weather and food, and above all is pining for a good Kiwi Pie – ‘the kind that melts in the mouth and leaves tiny flakes of pastry stuck to your lips, and a small shower of crumbs on your shirt, and a nice warm satisfied feeling in the stomach’. So Tim decides to cycle home – to Christchurch, New Zealand, via 22 countries and some of the world’s hairiest roads. This is the story of his trip.Europe’s a breeze, and the hard graft kicks in in Asia. An arrest in Iran; giardia on the Karakorum Highway; landslides in Pakistan; attacked by dogs in Tibet; delirium in China’s sea of death, the vast Taklamakam Desert; a 1000-km, week-long ‘dash’ across the blistering Nullabor Plain in Australia, before finally hitting home over a year later.Originally published in 2006, this updated 2nd Edition includes fully revised text and additional chapters covering the European portion ofthe journey.
