Last summer (2025) I rode 15,000 kms to The Pamir Highway, I was looking for extremes,

I got more than I expected.

A 360 degree view of the planet told in a 360 page book with map, sticker and  free postage in the UK.

Now available! 

The Blurb

Attempting to navigate a world of trends with timeless style.

Past trips are calling, dots need joining, then this analogue author goes off track, against the flow and the algorithm of the adventure-app travellers. Ride with this weary and rebellious road warrior back in time, armed with maps and aptitude.

What to expect? No idea – that’s the point, from Eastern Europe to the stans and the Pamir Highway. Into a feral world where dormant survival instincts stir.

The journey will be ‘in tents’, riding alongside border fences, pushing luck, pulled by police, freezing altitudes, furnace cities, empty spaces and unpopulated places, where the wild roam with no signal.

While the planet’s population blindly scrolls, this rider looks for a balance, dropping out, riding high and reaping unfiltered rewards reserved for those who look beyond the screen.

Riding solo, unsupported, without sponsorship, on a 25 year on KLR 650 motorcycle through:

• Bulgaria
• Turkey
• Georgia
• Russia – Chechnya -Dagestan
• Kazakhstan
• Uzbekistan
• Tajikistan
• Kyrgyzstan

Then prepare as the extremes accelerated, knowing limitations, ignoring them and finding solace on the other side.

Where the apps don’t take you

The unpopulated places

Where influences fear to tread

Unpopulated, uninhabited, tranquillity, solitude, uncommercialised, wild untamed nature,

Things may have changed but one fact remains: the planet’s people, regardless of what notorious traits they are said to possess, all have faces that can form smiles, and that’s a reminder we are not so very different from each other.

Here is a video of me trying to tell you what the book is about.
