‘It is late October, and the temperature is already -40C…My thoughts are filled with frozen rivers that may or may not hold my weight; empty, forgotten valleys haunted by emaciated ghosts and packs of ravenous, merciless wolves.’In 2004 Rob Lilwall arrived in Siberia equipped only with a bike and a healthy dose of fear. CYCLING HOME FROM SIBERIA recounts his epic three and a half year, 30,000 mile journey back to England via the foreboding jungles of Papua New Guinea, an Australian cyclone and Afghanistan’s war-torn Hindu Kush.A gripping story of endurance and adventure, this is also a spiritual journey giving a poignant insight into life on the road in some of the world’s toughest corners.www.roblilwall.com

Reviews

Kevin Rushby, The Guardian
I'm not sure Rob Lilwall knows it, but he has penned a two-wheeled classic. I wanted to rise up singing and strap on my bicycle clips.
The Guardian
Lilwall has a wonderful ability to inspire trust in his readers.
The Sunday Telegraph
Lilwall's story is a remarkable one ... enhanced by the fact that he has a writer's skill for conveying a sense of place.
Irish Times
A rite of passage adventure, full of thrills, excitement and endurance tests.
Amy Boucher Pye, Woman Alive
Not only describes different countries and their peoples, but also delves into the human heart.
The Baptist Times
A real adventure story
Martin Spice, Times Educational Supplement
Rob Lilwall is such a transparently decent, honest and likeable bloke that it is difficult not to become involved in the highs and lows of his journey. 7/10
