Surface Male: Round the World Without Flying

Surface Male: Round the World without Flying - John Barclay An account of an older gentleman travelling around the world using only boats, trains, buses and other forms of surface transport.I quite enjoyed it, as it was not contrived or set up in anyway. He manages to get to where he wants to each time, sometimes with difficulty, sometimes with ease, and manages to pass through 30 or so countries on the way.This is a self published book, which is fine, and I thought that the writing style was ok, but it would have benefited from a strong editor, which a self published book lacks.
