Book Description
Alastair Humphreys' round the world journey of 46,000 miles
was an old-fashioned adventure: long, lonely, low-budget and spontaneous.
Cycling across five continents and sailing over the oceans, his ride took
four years to complete, on a tiny budget of hoarded student loans.
Moods of Future Joys is the story of the first remarkable stage of the
expedition. Just two weeks into the ride the September 11th attacks changed
everything. All Humphreys' plans went out the window and, instead of riding
towards Australia, he suddenly found himself pedaling through the Middle
East and Africa and on towards Cape Town. But his journey did not end
there. In fact, this was only the beginning...
Moods of Future Joys recounts an epic journey that succeeded through
Humphreys' trust in the kindness of strangers, at a time where the
interactions of our global community are more confused and troubled than
ever.
With a foreword by the explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes.
