Thanks for the review. Is there any chance of Singletrack stocking this, amongst the other cycling books you stock?

Gives those of us without a local bookshop a better place to buy from than American tax avoidance vehicles. Thanks 👍

Interesting review. I cycled Coast to Coast about 10 years ago with some work colleagues. Was a fairly chilled afair but the only GPS we had was a basic Garmin with breadcrumbs, before having to break out the phones.

We all became absolute ninjas at spotting tiny blue NCN signs burried in the undergrowth. For about 6 months afterwards I kept noticing them everywhere.

May have to grab a copy when I see it at the local book shop.

does it mention the bit of NCN included in a CX World Cup course?

It's a great read, I am enjoying the book, my only slight criticism is I think it would have benefitted from some maps and some photos, but then I am more a visual person than a wordy one...

I've just started this book, the Kindle price was a little above what I normally spend on ebooks but having met Laura at a bikepacking event I thought I would push the boat out a little!
