Mike Carden	The Full English	2007	An eighteen-day ride from Dorset to Northumbria undertaken in 2006, entertainingly recounted with a sense of humour that will appeal to some, but is sufficiently deft that those who don't enjoy bike-and-rider dialogues should not be put off

Polly Evans	Its Not About The Tapas	2003	An enjoyable account of a solo bicycle journey made around parts of Spain made (probably) in 2002. It would serve as a good primer to Spain but also have something for those who know the country well
