About this listen

The year is 1989. The destination is North Cape, far inside the Arctic Circle. An era of travel without smartphones, GPS, Google Maps, and still not an ounce of common sense. Andy has swapped his battered old Suzuki for a spanking new Kawasaki GPZ1000RX. Let's ride together as we cross fjords, frozen tundra and high mountain passes to reach the most northern point of Europe.

Witty, poignant and accidentally informative, the story tells of travel in a time long gone, when we read paper maps like pirates on the high seas, and friends were made and lost along roads less travelled. A Fast Bike to North Cape is a hilarious true-life travelogue full of interesting characters, uncomfortable moments, terrible choices, and British humour that will appeal to lovers of Bill Bryson, Douglas Adams, and David Sedaris. All the books in the Petrolhead Travelogue series can be listened to in any order.

I loved the detail and descriptions in this book. It took me back to my own riding in this era. Different times.

An adventure I always promised myself but never realised. My brother and uncle did it and I was so jealous.
Great narration in a proper accent.
Fantastic use of the full breadth of the English language I just wish Andy had done a trip round the world as these books are just too short! It’s not too late fella. ….
Marvellous.
