    • Starting in the Gobi desert in winter, adventurer Rob Lilwall sets out on an extraordinary six-month journey, walking almost 5000 kilometres across China. Along the way he and his cameraman Leon brave the toxic insides of China's longest road tunnel, explore desolate stretches of the Great Wall and endure interrogation by the Chinese police. As they walk on through the heart of China, the exuberant hospitality of cave dwellers, coal miners and desert nomads keeps them going, despite sub-zero blizzards and the treacherous terrain. Rob writes with humour and honesty about the hardships of the walk, reflecting on the nature of pilgrimage and the uncertainties of an adventuring career. He also gives a unique insight into life on the road amid the epic landscapes and rapidly industrialising cities of backwater China.

      "It is late October, and the temperature is already –40 degrees . . . My thoughts are filled with frozen rivers that may or may not hold my weight; empty, forgotten valleys haunted by emaciated ghosts; and packs of ravenous, merciless wolves."Having left his job as a high-school geography teacher, Rob Lilwall arrived in Siberia equipped only with a bike and a healthy dose of fear. Cycling Home from Siberia recounts his epic three-and-a-half-year, 30,000-mile journey back to England via the foreboding jungles of Papua New Guinea, an Australian cyclone, and Afghanistan's war-torn Hindu Kush. A gripping story of endurance and adventure, this is also a spiritual journey, providing poignant insight into life on the road in some of the world's toughest corners.

    • 4800 Kilometer, sechs abenteuerliche Monate, ein etwas verrücktes Projekt: Autor Rob Lilwall und der Kameramann Leon McCarron haben sich vorgenommen, China zu Fuß von Norden nach Süden zu durchqueren, um darüber eine Reportage zu machen. Die Reise beginnt beim Tee in der Jurte eines Mongolen, der sie vergeblich vor China warnt. Sie laufen durch die Wüste Gobi und passieren auf ihrem strikten Marsch nach Süden mal große Kulturstätten, mal riesige Industriegebiete. Wegen fehlender Genehmigungen für ihre journalistischen Arbeiten werden sie in Polizeiverhöre verwickelt, sie geraten versehentlich in militärisches Sperrgebiet, Abkürzungen erweisen sich als Sackgassen - da bleibt ein gelegentlicher Streit zwischen den beiden Männern nicht aus ... Ein humorvoller Bericht über einen langen Marsch durch das Reich der Mitte.
