George Mahood is the sort of chap you'd like to have a beer with. Actually, I think he's the kind of fellow you'd find yourself buying a beer for after just the briefest of conversations. I say this having never met the man but I feel like I've just had the adventure of a lifetime with my new pal after having read his very funny and surprisingly inspirational book Free Country.Free Country tells the true story of two young men, George and his friend Ben, who decide to cycle the length of Britain from Land's End to John O Groats. While this ambitious journey has been undertaken by many others, none have done it in quite the same way as George and Ben. Because, you see, they begin with nothing. Well, not quite nothing, they each have a pair of Union Jack boxer shorts (and George later confesses, a camera, a notebook, a pencil and stack of cards containing the words "I am OFFICIALLY a very nice person.")Over three weeks in September, with a vow to spend no money they wander their way north like the maddest of monks on the most quixotic of quests. What they find along the way is a country filled with very interesting people, a great number of whom are very nice. Ben and George manage, through charm, wit, fast talking and willingness to do tasks ranging from cleaning, to loading onions to singing for their suppers, to acquire clothes, food, bicycles and someplace to sleep every night. It is a wonderful adventure and very, very funny. George is a great observer of life and a very witty writer and he and Ben bicker throughout the journey in the way that only true friends can. A few quotes will give you the flavor of this delightful book:`Yeah. There's a place called Neilston in another ten miles.' `Ten miles? Are you kidding me?' asked Ben. `Err, no. It doesn't look like there's anything else before there anyway. We've done really well today. I reckon we'll have done over 90 miles.' `WHAT? My god, you are such a slave driver. If I'd known we had done anything near that much, I would have stopped for the day ages ago.' `I know. That's why I didn't tell you.'-----Before eating the sandwiches we tried a rendition of Silent Night in German that I could still remember from primary school. A guy on a bmx, in his mid thirties, approached with a small paper bag from Greggs. `Hi guys. You can have these two donuts if you promise to stop singing.' `You've got yourself a deal. Thanks, mate,' I said.-----The descent from Kirkstone Pass was undoubtedly the fastest I have ever been on a bike. It was possibly the fastest that man has ever travelled, in any form of transport. If The Falcon had had wings, I swear she would have taken off. It was one of the scariest, but most exhilarating things I have ever done. Braking wasn't really an option for me, as The Falcon's brakes only had any slight effect when travelling at a ridiculously slow speed, or uphill. I just gave in and let The Falcon do what she was best at doing - not stopping.-----We explained our challenge and asked if there was anything we could do in exchange for some free food. `Oooooh, what do you reckon, Jan? Should we give these two strapping young lads any food?' she said to her colleague. `Yeah, why not. If that one with the skimpy shorts shows us a bit more leg,' she laughed. `That'll be you then, George,' said Ben. This was a new low. I was being made to flaunt my body in exchange for food. I felt used. I felt cheap. I liked it. I lifted up the side of my skimpy blue shorts, and exposed my flabby white thighs. `Phwoooooaarr,' said both ladies...-----If a nutritionist had analysed what we ate during the bike ride, I think they probably would have concluded that we should not be alive, let alone fit enough to cycle. I read somewhere that beige food is bad for you. Almost everything we ate was a shade of beige; bread, pasta bakes, chips, pasties and bananas. Anyway, all I'm saying is that peas and carrots taste unbelievable if you only eat beige food for 17 days beforehand. Give it a try.-----Free Country is one of the funniest books I've ever read and it is a book that celebrates the tremendous kindness that exists in the world. George and Ben completed their journey thanks to the kindness of strangers, but after reading the tale of their journey, I feel that I owe them much more than the meager cost of this book for the laughter and wisdom I've found in its pages. George and Ben, if you ever make it to Issaquah, look me up. I'll make sure you've got a good meal and a place to stay.
Update 5/18/17: Our new book club in Silverton, Oregon chose Free Country for our first book of the month. Everyone gave it an enthusiastic thumbs up! We couldn't stop laughing sharing fun moments from the book! Thank you, George, and Ben, for entertaining us all month!If you're looking for a fun, feel good, laugh out loud kind of read that takes you on an unimaginable adventure-look no further! George Mahood's Free Country is clever, well written, and hilarious with a fresh, fun storyline. This is my third reading and I've enjoyed it just as much each time, and shared it with friends who loved it too! Just the entertaining idea of two young guys starting a 1000 mile walk across Great Britain in their underwear-on a whim is a riot! It's clear early on they had no idea what they were getting themselves in for and that's when it gets fun!Get this book on Kindle so you can start reading right away, get one in print to share, and get the audible version to put a smile in your commute and brighten your day!
This was the most enjoyable book I have read in a long time and I can't recommend it enough. So funny and delightful to read. The 2 menwho took this trip were friends to begin with and I imagine they still are but their arguments were priceless. I learned a great deal about theterritory they were traveling on and found it very different with what I am so used to. I was born and raised in Pennsylvania but have livedin Texas and now in Oklahoma for the past several years so traveling across the territory in Great Britain is completely different than anythingI am accustomed to. The people the travelers came in contact with were all so friendly, for the most part, and helpful to their travels andlodging and meals. I can't wait to read more books written by George Mahood and his travel companion. I enjoyed this book so much andwas almost sorry when it ended. Good luck to the travelers in their future adventures. Julie Hamilton
This is the true story of George and Ben who decide to bike the End to End challenge, which is a 1,000 mile journey from the south of Britain to the north of Scotland in 3 weeks. To make it even more challenging, they set out barefoot with no money, no food or water, wearing only a pair of boxers. Oh yeah, and no bikes. They must rely on the kindness and generosity of strangers. Their first challenge is to acquire shoes and clothing. Oh yeah, and bikes. Then each day, they must find food, water, and shelter for the night. Somehow they manage to find plenty of beer and wind up at a whiskey tasting. I thoroughly enjoyed the banter between George and Ben as they bicker and disagree. George relates the story in an amusing manner while taking us through each small-town and introducing us to the people who help them along the way. They literally sing for their supper one day and someone gives them donuts to stop. I highly recommend this fun and entertaining book.
I'm normally a science fiction and humorous detective novel guy, but when I saw this book advertised on one of my Amazon email list servers, I had to buy it. Two young guys decide to bicycle the entire length of Great Britain, from Lands End to John O'Groats. The other interesting part of the story is that they start in their boxer shorts only and are trusting that they can get everything they'll need (including their bikes) from people on the route. They will not be paying for anything, trusting in the kindness of strangers.The book is mostly a travelog of this trip, describing much of the people and scenes they encounter in the journey. Pictures are included in the book of those who helped them along the way. The author is one of the young men who took the journey.I enjoy learning about words and expressions from England and Scotland, and there are many of these in the narration. And in addition to the acts of kindness, there is a lot of humor (or humour) in the book. The interactions between George and Ben are often also funny.
