The event has passed.

Aged 36 and ready for a change in her life Naomi set off to cycle the world with a man she’d met only three times before.

This adventure of a lifetime would see her travel through various countries including riding from Cairo to Capetown and cross over the 5,416m Thorong-la pass in Nepal. With early school reports noting she would be better at sport if she at least turned up, this is not an athlete’s journey – just an ordinary person with a great opportunity and a can-do attitude. The trip would be life changing and 26 countries and almost 20,000 miles later she came home.

The book outlines how the trip came about, the journey travelled and what happened on her return.

This event is free,
