Truck It!: The 26,000 Mile Drive That Saved my Life

When Bobby’s eleven-year relationship broke down, he thought he'd hit rock bottom. Then a bad economic turn and a handful of unlucky business deals drove his hard-earned company into the ground, and Bobby discovered what it was to lose all his purpose in life.

Drowning his sorrows in a pub with his sister one day, Bobby boldly declared that he would turn his life around by driving from his hometown of Wigan all the way to Australia. The next day, Bobby’s plan kicked in – he sold up his construction business and spent all the money revamping a truck that he would drive and live in with his dog, Red.

A couple of weeks into his adventure, Bobby met a gorgeous French woman in the Alps, fell in love, and after just two dates she joined him in his truck to see what might happen next. And this was only the start of the adventure . . .

Paying corrupt Russian policemen bribes; digging out mountain passes in Albania with an old spade; getting punched at the Kazakhstan border; lighting a fire under the fuel tank to defrost the diesel at minus fifteen degrees in Montenegro; having a mountain track collapse in Italy; being interrogated by the Taliban at a dangerous border crossing; or sliding down a snow-covered mountain, ice axe in hand, to rescue his new girlfriend as she fell 200 metres down, narrowly a cliff face . . . it’s one way to fall in love with life again.

Action-packed, down-to-earth and with a real emotional core, Bobby Bolton’s Truck It! is an epic, escapist adventure with heart.
