Synopsis

Adventure Travel magazine: "Warm, well-observed, unpretentious and very funny."
London Cyclist magazine: "Articulate and witty."
Arrivée magazine: “An easily read book, humorous, well written and full of the eccentricities of the English.

Pedalling from one end of England to the other, the author struggles heroically with Mid-Life Crisis, Man-Flu and with Scott, a bike with a serious attitude problem.

From the Dorset coast to Northumbria via Glastonbury, Ludlow, the Peak District and the Yorkshire Dales, he indulges a passion for the history of England through its castles, abbeys and ancient towns, while encountering England's people - the friendly, the funny and the deliciously eccentric.

This is cycle touring the length of England with a dash of humour!

Richard Peace, cycling journalist and author of the Excellent Books range of cycle guides: “A delightfully tongue in cheek trip through England - past and present. Along the way you’ll find out about: Terry - Druid Keeper of the Stones, wartime secrets of the Gurkhas, the Society For The Prevention Of Getting Lost In The English Countryside, and much more.
Dorset County Magazine: "Mike's relaxed and chatty style is never less than entertaining, making The Full English the sort of book that can put a smile on your face even when it is cold, grey Winter outside.
www.TheHistoryMagazine.co.uk: “Carden’s witty dialogue, his casual banter with ‘Scott’ the bike, which should seem peculiar but strangely isn’t, and his calm sarcasm in the face of the great English eccentricities makes this a joyful read that will sweep away the dark nights of winter and conjure up memories of summer days in the countryside.
