In 1999, a father and son began a coastal adventure that would take four years to complete - a mission to visit every mainland lighthouse in England and Wales.
This
is the story of their tribulations from rain drenched beaches to smoke
filled bars, an honest portrait of Britain that will have you laughing
out loud. Surely one of the definitive lighthouse books.
Described as a 'modern day Rural Rides' by one reader and favourably compared to Bill Bryson's 'Notes from a small island', this book is an ideal light read which could have you longing to try out something equally bizarre.
As seen on TV, 'England and Wales in a Flash' is available now - an ideal present for anybody who enjoys something completely different.
Book available from all good bookshops or by mail order:
Price including postage: £11.00 (or $40 US / 25 Euros).

blues songs inspired by the journey
