    The Hopeless Biker - Who Went...

    From Sunday Times bestseller Miles Morland comes a brilliant, life-affirming and audacious travel memoir.
    Having never ridden a motorbike at night, in rain, or on motorways, not knowing the difference between a carburettor and a spark plug, Miles Morland set out to ride across newly post-communist Europe to Istanbul. Somehow, he survived gales in France, rioting miners in Romania, homicidal truck drivers, and floods in Turkey. Since then, he has ridden the equivalent of twice round the world across five continents. He still doesn't know what a carburettor is. 
    This isn't a book about biking. It's a story of idiot optimism, fearless discovery, and the freedom most of us can only dream about during our commute to work. Recklessly heading across Patagonia, the Andes, Japan, India, Australia's Nullarbor, and every other unlikely place, Miles's utter disregard for practical preparation and unfailing belief that things will work out somehow get him home safe. 
    The Hopeless Biker is about letting go, going it alone, and trusting you'll survive to discover what's on the other side of the mountain.
    'I don't know if Miles is brilliant or mad to do what he has done, possibly both but he had a lot of fun along the way and so did I.' Giles Foden, author of the Last King of Scotland.

    Strange Skies & Shifting Shadows...

    Some stories cling to us long after they’re told. A flicker of doubt, a chill that lingers, a whisper that says the world is not as ordinary as we like to believe. Across the towns, moors, and coastlines of the United Kingdom, mysteries take root. They are retold in pubs and passed down in families, woven into the fabric of our landscapes until fact and folklore blur together. 
    This book began as a podcast—a chance to explore some of Britain’s most intriguing unsolved mysteries. From strange lights in the sky to vanished men, haunted houses to entire stretches of countryside steeped in unease, each episode set out to capture both the history and the enduring sense of the uncanny that clings to these tales. 
    Collected here, the stories form something different. Read together, they reveal patterns: how ordinary lives collide with the inexplicable, how mystery resists tidy explanation, and how the unknown remains part of our national imagination. These aren’t simply curiosities of the past—they are living stories, reshaped every time they are retold. 
    Whether you are returning to these stories after listening to the podcast, or discovering them for the first time, I invite you to treat them as more than puzzles. They are glimpses into the strange corners of our history, reminders that even in an age of reason and technology, mystery endures. 
    Turn the page, and step into a Britain where history, mystery, and imagination meet.
