It is amazing how one’s confidence builds in time and – after reading your book – I suddenly noticed that I was in some ways part of the neat community that you have built. I am currently in Tbilisi with intentions of cycling to Australia in the indefinite future. I have a trusty steed, tightly packed panniers and no particular deadlines…Although I have been on the road for almost a year and a half, I feel – like may do – that it is made up of a series of different journeys. Cycling around the UK at the beginning was a world away from following some of the Camino routes in Spain; different again from autumn in France, winter in Germany and following archeological sites through Italy. Albania in the heat of early summer contrasted with Greece when it was heaving with August tourism. Cycling west Turkey alone was an entirely different experience… Alice Bentley
