description: It is late October and the temperature is already 40 degrees . . . My thoughts are filled with frozen rivers that may or may not hold my weight; empty forgotten valleys haunted by emaciated ghosts; and packs of ravenous merciless wolves.Having left his job as a high-school geography teacher Rob Lilwall arrived in Siberia equipped only with a bike and a healthy dose of fear. Cycling Home from Siberia recounts his epic three-and-a-half-year 30000-mile journey back to England via the foreboding jungles of Papua New Guinea an Australian cyclone and Afghanistan's war-torn Hindu Kush. A gripping story of endurance and adventure this is also a spiritual journey providing poignant insight into life on the road in some of the world's toughest corners.
