The Wrong Way Round

"A thrilling roller-coaster of a book! Gripping from start to finish" - Joanna Lumley, British actress, TV presenter, and travel writer. 


Just why exactly hadn’t anyone attempted to motorcycle from India to Burma before, and how hard could it actually be? Against his better judgment, woefully unprepared, and desperately trying to impress his new aristocratic girlfriend, Andrew Benfield decides to find out. The ensuing adventure takes the couple across the Himalayas and through some of the wildest parts of India, Nepal, Bhutan and Burma as they contend with suicidal roads, tribal head-hunters, an alarming number of men with guns, and a border that hasn’t been crossed in fifty years. The Wrong Way Round is the true story (and photos!) of 6,000 kilometres of hilarious and terrifying adventure as the odds become increasingly stacked against them making it to their destination with themselves, their motorcycle or their relationship in one piece.
