The Beacon Bike:Around England and Wales in 327 Lighthouses |
A young boy in his attic bedroom in Kent falls asleep counting the seconds between the flashes on the wall from the Dungeness lighthouse. One day, he dreams, he will visit them all. Now, many years later, despite or perhaps because of a diagnosis of MS, he gets on his bike and takes us on an epic ride around England and Wales. Yes, it's a tribute to the coast's beautiful landscape and to the generosity of the people he meets but also it shines a light on human's indomitable spirit.
