How did one retired couple fulfill a lifelong dream of cycling the length of Britain, while not wishing to leave their four elderly Terriers behind? Take them along too! Told from both human and doggy viewpoints, find out how Mike and Carrie managed (just!) to haul their animals in trailers behind the bikes from Land's End in Cornwall to John o'Groats in Scotland, a distance of over one thousand miles, with an extra two hundred and fifty as a training ride to reach Land's End from their home in Dorset, and iron out any problems (of which there were many). Add to the mix that two of the Terriers were sworn enemies, which narrowed down the travelling arrangements considerably. Find out why their original intention to camp soon turned into a disaster, and what they did instead.
You will laugh and you will cry at the pitfalls encountered on a journey undertaken at the best of times only by the dedicated cyclist, and probably not many dogs. This must be a first! If you love animals, or enjoy cycling, and travelling, or just have a dream you want to fulfill, this book is for you.
The story is the third recounting the adventures of these particular Terriers, the first being Terriers Tales from our Valley, and the second, Travelling Terriers on Tour, available as e-books. Also, End to End in the Broom Wagon tells of the most recent exploits of the Mike and Carrie, an equally challenging journey for very different reasons.
