AA cyclist's epic, world-crossing road trip is presented from the perspective of a base culinary urge. What is it about New Zealand that most expats & travellers miss most? Beautiful clean beaches? The majestic Southern Alps? Mum? For Tim Mulliner, after nearly four years of working in Britain, it was the experience of sinking his teeth into a proper Kiwi pie
- of the sort '...that melted in your mouth & left tiny flakes of pastry stuck to your lips, a small shower of crumbs on your shirt, & a nice warm, satisfied feeling in the stomach'. So Tim jumped on his 27-speed bike to head across western Europe, eastern Europe, Turkey, India, Iran, Pakistan, Tibet, China, South-East Asia & Australia, & finally home to New Zeal&.

In the autumn of 1936, some 200 men from the Tyneside town of Jarrow marched 300 miles to London in protest against the destruction of their towns & industries. Precisely 80 years on, Stuart Maconie, walks from north to south retracing the route of the emblematic Jarrow Crusade. Following history`s footsteps, Maconie is in search of what Modern Britain is really like today. Travelling down the country`s spine, Maconie moves through a land that is, in some ways, very much the same as the England of the thirties with its political turbulence, austerity, north/south divide, food banks & of course, football mania. Yet in other ways, it is completely unrecognisable; highstreets peppered with pound shops & e-cigarette vendors, smoothie bars & Costas on every corner. Maconie visits the great, established & yet evolving cities of Leeds, Sheffield & London, as well as the sleepy hamlets, quiet lanes & roaring motorways. He meets those with stories to tell & whose voices build a funny, complex & entertaining tale of Britain, then & now. Written in Maconie`s signature style, this is a fascinating exploration of a modern nation that, though looks & sounds strangely familiar, has been completely transformed. ...

Three & half weeks. Three hundred miles. I saw roaring arterial highway & silent lanes, candlelit cathedrals & angry men in bad pubs. The Britain of 1936 was a land of beef paste sandwiches & drill halls. Now we are nation of vaping & nail salons, pulled pork & salted caramel.
