    About this ebook

    With a few of beers coursing through his veins and an upcoming 30th birthday on his mind Lance felt the need for one last bout of foolishness, so the next day he quit his job and gave notice on his flat. His plan was simple: spend the summer travelling the length and breadth of the UK in a bid to get to know his homeland. Four weeks later he departed, armed with little more than an antiquated Ford Mondeo, an unreliable Sat Nav and a genuine 1980s caravan.

    In an attempt to absorb as much as possible from the journey he compiled an extensive and eclectic list of things to see and do. Travelling the nation ticking tasks from his list took him from the childhood home of Paul McCartney to the summit of Ben Nevis via standing shoeless on the shores of Loch Ness. He uncovered fascinating tales about the nation’s natural beauty, world-changing history, explosive battles and revolutionary innovation – whilst taking time to sample the nation’s best fish and chips and sup a pint at the oldest pub. Follow the adventure as Lance seeks directions to a tree from royalty, helplessly watches as his transport slowly disintegrates and is warmly welcomed to Scotland with handcuffs and a police dog.
    Author Bio

    “Lance was aged only four when he was first bitten by the travelling bug. His older brother snuck him out the house late one night with a promise to explore 'the woods'. Sadly, they were discovered by a dog-walking neighbour before reaching their destination and returned to their angry parents. But it was too late; his sense of adventure had been ignited.

    Despite having visited many exotic places since Lance has never forgotten the tempting allure of what can be found 'just down the road'. On little more than a whim he spent the summer of 2010 travelling the length and breadth of the UK. Captivated by the wonders the UK has to offer he has continued to mix his travelling abroad with trips closer to home.

    Lance’s first release was a short ebook detailing a week spent exploring Cornwall, his favourite part of the UK. His second book, Lance’s Travels UK, details a summer spent exploring the whole of the UK.”
