So, what is there to say about the Pub2Pub book, which completes our Road Trip Trilogy of musings from the world's dustiest roads?  Quite a lot, actually.  Because after all, there's popping out for a quick pint, and then there's this - a gloriously preposterous 27,000 mile journey across 25 countries to grab a beer in bars at opposite ends of the world.

​

We're talking an epic adventure from an abandoned Soviet mine 700 miles from the North Pole, to a remote pub at South America's southernmost tip, all undertaken in a TVR, a car which many might consider untrustworthy just to drive to the shops. The journey packed a lot into its eight months, from braving the sheer drops of Bolivia's Death Road to drag racing the locals in Texas. From roaring across flooded salt flats to sailing the Straits of Magellan. From the highs of the planet's best driving roads, to the lows of life in No-Man's-Land, trapped between borders by red tape and bureaucracy. And from looking out for polar bears in the Arctic, to dodging penguins in Tierra del Fuego.

​

The story of the Pub2Pub Expedition is an inspirational account of where your dreams can take you if only you believe in them. Chronicling the epic journey made by Ben and Kermit the Chimaera, this book is both an exciting adventure and a fascinating snapshot of the life and culture of the countries that he drove through.
