Opis

Imagine - you are now living those years that you assume are the middle of your life. Your children have left home, or (you hope) they are about to. At times you feel tired of the pattern of your days, worn out by an unceasing round of duties. Is this to be all there is? Wanderlust seizes you, and you dream of escaping the routine for a while. You imagine throwing a few essentials into the car and setting out down the road without any plan at all, curious to see where such a solo road trip may take you and what adventures you might have along the way ... 'Reports from the Road' describes such a low-key and low-cost quest for liberation from the constraints of daily life. Setting out solo and without plans or pre-bookings, the author follows the winding road up the Welsh coast into the Scottish Highlands and writes a day-by-day account of two months of inspirational freedom. If you ever planned to do something similar, or would like to know a bit more about Britain, or simply enjoy good travel writing, you will find much information and entertainment in this little book. It is not a guide on where to stay and what to eat, but rather the record of a personal quest for opportunity and independence, and the first volume in the series 'Solo Travel Reports'. The second volume, 'Views from a Cruise Solo around the World' follows on, packed with more incidents and insights.
