Description
‘Alastair’s journey stands out as amazing’ Sir Ranulph Fiennes
Moods of Future Joys follows round-the-world cyclist Alastair Humphreys on the first leg of his epic journey, starting in Yorkshire, then going down through Europe and travelling the whole length of Africa, including Sudan, Ethiopia and Kenya.
The book conveys his journey in a style that is ‘reminiscent of the great tradition of the British explorers’ ( The Guardian ). At times uplifting, at times brutal, he faces loneliness, despair and harsh conditions, but his experience is ultimately one of joy and triumph.
