A new book from Ponty writer, Dave Lewis, illustrates the ups and downs of a week-long trip on mountain bikes through the old county of Wessex.
“Dave’s fourth cycling adventure takes us on a journey through ancient Wessex. Home of King Alfred, Stonehenge and the Avebury stone circles. Another great amateur cycling trip through Wiltshire, Hampshire, Oxfordshire, Surrey and Berkshire. Using mountain bikes this time, Dave, Warren and Andy spend a week in the south-east of England where they cycle along The Ridgeway, the South Downs Way, Shipwrights Way and many other routes that criss cross the countryside.
This ‘boys on tour‘ journey comes alive with witty comments, strange references and excellent photographs.
If you’re thinking of doing a similar ride then this account will set the scene and also highlight the pitfalls of a lack of planning, reliance on technology and disregard for the changeable British weather.’
P.S. – Don’t give up cash or use the BBC weather app.
You’ve been warned.”
