No adventure can take you everywhere in Britain, but this one comes close. In 2022, Mark Wedgwood cycled 7,300 miles across all 204 Ordnance Survey Landranger maps, in numerically ascending order: a six-month odyssey to every part of Scotland, England, Wales and the Isle of Man.
He shares his journey to the most extreme and hard-to-reach places and the most mundane and everyday. His carefully devised cycling routes introduce us to lesser-known places, strange anomalies and endearing stories that tell of a country that still offers a catalogue of truly uplifting experiences.
