1st half was the best bit - By: T. Williams, 21 Aug 2008 
I really enjoyed reading the first part of this book as Ted travelled down through Africa. He seemed focussed on the journey ahead, seemed interestedin all the contrasting people around him & included lots of detail about his bike. From South America onwards however, he seemed to lose interestin the trip & dwelled far too long on certain events. He also skipped through whole countriesin a matter of a couple of pages. His philosophising on whether he might be a God was irritating & at this point I found myself skipping pages. Disappointingin places.
Great read! - By: Lisa van Veen, 25 Jun 2008 
I'm a busy mother of 4 & have found this book pure escapism. It's been a facinating insight into the world backin the 70's (when I was a child!). I enjoyed Ewan & Charley's adventures but now I can see where their inspiration came from. It's not always a light read but I can't recommend it enough!
This is a brilliant book - By: charwell, 16 Feb 2008 I love this book, it's one of my treasured favourites & I have re-read it many times over the years. From our armchair we go with Ted around the world, sharingin his fears, joys & small triumphs. He is an excellent writer who shows many insights; we get to know him as a friend. I enjoyed the follow-up, Riding High too, but not as much as this one.
Great travel story - By: Jamie O'Shaughnessy, 19 Nov 2007 This is a wonderful book. Very well written & drags youin to his journey. If you love travel & seeing the world, get this. Great read.
