Mud, Sweat and Beers (2022 'Reload' Edition) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In 2006 two young(ish) men set off in search of a remote village in Somerset purely because it had the same name as their home village in Kent. Armed with little more than a trusty axe and a tent, they follow long-distance footpaths from Kent to Somerset, wild-camping wherever they can. From diving into a pub to get out of the rain to repressed frustration over map-reading errors, seasoned hikers will be familiar with the challenges. Redhill and Winchester are the only urban detours on this rural ramble. Written like a blog in the days before blogs were common, this diary-like account of their musings is funny, informative and occasionally surreal; this is the only known travel book with dream sequences. Includes the Greensand Way, St Swithun's Way, Clarendon Way and Monarch's Way.

The 2022 'Reload' Edition includes additional chapters documenting how the pair practised for their challenge and the author's attempt to cycle the length of the Greensand Ridge many years later. He describes it as the book equivalent of an 'anniversary' CD rerelease, with the new material being the sought-after bonus tracks.

Autorenporträt

Born in 1975, Adam Colton is a writer of humorous travelogues and short stories from Kent, UK. His first paperback documented an attempt to visit every lighthouse on the mainland coast of England and Wales undertaken with his father, Roger Colton, who published and contributed to the book which was featured on the BBC news to mark National Lighthouse Day and became the subject of a question on the quiz show, University Challenge.

Since then, Adam has straddled the line between documenting his lightly philosophical UK travel escapades and mind-blowing fiction. One of his stories was short-listed for the HG Wells festival's short story competition. He is also a writer of topical songs, performing as one half of the duo Adam and Teresa, whose song 'Fat Cats with a Death Wish on the M25' received airplay on BBC Radio Kent. Meanwhile '2021 - A Musical Odyssey' humorously reviews classic rock albums from the 1960s to the present day in a way that should raise a smile with anybody of a certain age..
