When he recovered and decided he wanted to get out and about again, he didn't take a motobility scooter down to the shops - he dug out his 1918 "Trusty Triumph" H Model motorbike and embarked on the "End to End" journey from Leeds up to John O' Groats, down to Land's End and back up to Leeds.
This is the story of Noel's battle against the elements, the traffic and mechanical tribulations, but it is also the humorous story of his joy at meeting fellow travellers, locals and motor bike enthusiasts; at being close to nature and having the time to philosophise about the state of the world.
It is truly an inspiring story of one who would not let a mere heart attack curtail his adventures and whose "Can Do" attitude is a lesson to us all!
Decide just how "stupid" Noel's journey proved to be, as he encouraged and cajoled his beloved "H" to carry him "End to End".

Store description
In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others.
