What is this book about?
Danny Bent, a teacher, had wanted for twenty years to raise money for charity. Put on the spot by his pupils, he announced that he would do it by cycling to India. This is his account of the 15,000-kilometre ride from the United Kingdom for ActionAid, across Europe, the former Soviet republics, Russia, China, Pakistan and India, through smog, mountain descents, illness, border posts and worse, and of the people he met on the way.
