About this ebook
In this book Mervyn Smith describes a point in his life when he was facing the question of his own mortality as he recovered from a serious life-saving surgery. This is the story of how he responded to that challenge and followed a life-long dream to ride a motorcycle from his Shropshire home to a destination way above the Arctic Circle and who he did it for.
Read what brought him to that decision, what difficulties he overcame to pursue his dream and the adventures he had on the journey riding through the hottest European summer on record. This book will inspire you, challenge you and hopefully motivate you to realise that everyone has a skill set unique to them which, with faith, imagination, and creativity, can be released. And that age is never a barrier to doing something extra ordinary.

Mervyn Smith worked in the motorcycle industry for 30 years, travelling extensively in the UK and abroad in the pursuit of business. He has long been fascinated by travel stories and what motivates people to do out-of-the-ordinary things for others. A lifelong motorcyclist, he divides his time between long rides to anywhere, a garden that is just too big to be manageable, public speaking, writing and spending time with family and friends. He lives with his wife, Liz, in rural Shropshire and this is his first book.
