After pedalling 7,000 kilometres around France and proving that slow travel is not only possible but also preferable (especially when food is involved), John and Kate return to the saddle for a new challenge: mainland Britain.

Armed with their tandem bicycle, a questionable sense of direction, and an unwavering belief that speed is overrated, only because the tandem is too heavy, they embark on a perimeter-hugging journey around an island that's equal parts charming and confusing. From the sheep-strewn hills of Wales to the pot-holed lanes of Kent, every mile is a celebration of the scenic route, the shared snack, and the occasional marital negotiation over places to stop.

Snails Around Britain is a travelogue for those who believe that adventure begins when you stop rushing. It's a love story, a comedy, and a gentle rebellion against the tyranny of haste.

About the Author

John Bosley is a slow tandem pilot, a fast wit, and an unapologetic enthusiast for the kind of travel that involves unnecessary routes, mishaps, and multiple snack breaks. After conquering France with his wife, Kate, and a tandem named after a mollusc, he turned his wheels toward Britain-armed with panniers, optimism, and a deep respect for expensive waterproof jackets.

When not pedalling uphill in defiance of logic, John writes about the joys of noticing things: landscapes, legends, people, and the occasional bridge or lighthouse. His blog Snails' Trails has inspired dozens to slow down, look around, and maybe even buy a tandem (against their better judgment).

He lives in Kent, where he's plotting the next improbable journey-possibly involving Ireland, chasing the sun, or just a tandem pub-crawl on the Isle of Wight.
