Cycling Home From Siberia (Lilwall Rob); Hodder & Stoughton, 2010

In 2004 Rob Lilwall arrived in Siberia equipped only with a bike and a healthy dose of fear. Cycling Home From Siberia recounts his epic three-and-a-half-year, 30,000 mile journey back to England via the foreboding jungles of Papua New Guinea, an Australian cyclone and Afghanistan's war-torn Hindu Kush.

A gripping story of endurance and adventure, this is also a spiritual journey, providing poignant insight into life on the road in some of the world's toughest corners.

Rob Lilwall studied geography and theology at university and, prior to cycling home from Siberia, was a geography teacher in England. He now writes and lectures worldwide about his experiences. He lives in Hong Kong and Cycling Home From Siberia is his first book.
