The story of an astonishing, world record-breaking adventure from Cairo to Cape Town by the bestselling author of The Man Who Cycled the World.
Mark Beaumont was born on New Year's Day 1983 and grew up in the
foothills of the Scottish Highlands, where his parents ran an
organic smallholding. When he was twelve, he cycled across Scotland
from Dundee to Oban, then a few years later, while still at school,
completed the 1,000 mile solo ride across Britain from John
O'Groats to Land's End. His next long-distance ride took him the
length of Italy from Sicily to the Alps, a journey of 1,336 miles,
helping to raise e50,000 for charity. After graduating from Glasgow
University, and having also qualified as a professional ski
instructor, he decided against a conventional career and devoted
himself full-time to raising money for his endurance
adventures.
