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 - 'England and Wales in a Flash' is their story. They later followed this with a jaunt around Southern Scotland which took in castles and the border country as well as lighthouses in the hope of witnessing a haunting. This was the basis for 'Bordering on Lunacy' - the long-awaited sequel. The
two books tell 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.
Described
as a 'modern day Rural Rides' by one reader and favourably compared
to Bill Bryson's 'Notes from a small island', both books make for
an ideal light
read which could have you longing to try out something equally bizarre.
As
seen on TV,
both books are available now - an ideal present for anybody who enjoys
something completely different.
