About this ebook

Hapless or hopeless? It’s a tough call. We’ve been called both, probably quite fairly. But despite the catalogue of disasters, bad decisions and wild swings from feeling like intrepid explorers to feeling like a luxury hotel with en suite everything we did set out from London one morning on a tandem and arrive eighteen months later in Sydney, almost in one piece.
Our route took us across Western and what was then still Eastern Europe and over the Bosphorous into Asia. Despite initially being refused a visa and the British Consulate warning us not to go, Iran followed Turkey and then Pakistan and the Himalayas into North China. Three months later we emerged to continue into Thailand, through Malaysia and Indonesia and then eventually across to Australia and down to Sydney, 32,248 kilometres of cycling later.
In between were celebrity sponsorship, fifteen countries, a failed attempt to cross a war zone, the highest road pass in the world, two arrests, crashes, breakdowns, dengue fever, earth tremors, fires, an ambush and stoning in a remote Himalayan valley and a game of cat and mouse with the Chinese Public Security Bureau.
Recognised by Guinness as a World Record, we’ve been trading on this ridiculous feat of deluded endeavour ever since and Wild Dogs and Nutters is on its way to being the silliest and most inspiring feel good account of resculpting one’s buttocks across 32,000 kilometres of some of the world’s most extreme landscapes.

Laura Tong

Welcome to Global Feel Good Company where life is always great because it's populated exclusively by fun, upbeat, feel good people. Started by us, Mark and Laura Tong to fling fun and feel good at the world until it sticks... and then fling some more! We're light, souffle types who bask and dally only in the fun side of life and have no idea why anyone would choose any other way to live! Both reared by licentious sea cucumbers, we've had 25 fabulous years together as genuine, bona fidae midgets without certificates to prove it. Credos may come and go (after all this is a consumer society) but despite being modern, impatient, no-attention-span kids, we have one that will never waver: people are great, really great the world over. And, we're irrefutably, immovably, unshakably sure about it because we get out there and experience them first hand around the world, and every time we do, all we find is a great bunch of people (and the odd nutter with stupid ears) who are just trying to get on, do their thing and help out by pulling on the saving-the-day-trousers for strangers where they can... not plotting to blow up the West, burgle us in our bed or even make life difficult. It's very refreshing! So, needless to say we take every opportunity to travel, work on fun projects and enjoy just how great people are and shout about it - hope to bump into you on one of our out and about tours, spreading fun and feel good around the world with Rugby, our gorgeous, greedy, silly Labrador.
