In Clancy's Boots: Around the world a century on

By Geoff Hill

In 1912, wearing a tweed three-piece suit and a flat cap, Carl Stearns Clancy undertook the longest, most difficult and most perilous journey ever attempted on a motorcycle. Only a madman would have attempted it, and only a hero would have completed it, and by June 1913 he had made history, becoming the first person ever to circumnavigate the globe on a motorbike. One hundred years on, bestselling author and motorcycle adventurer Geoff Hill recreates Clancy's historic journey. Following the route taken by his illustrious predecessor, and with Clancy's own account of his journey echoing in his head, Geoff rides down through Europe and North Africa, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Hong Kong, China and Japan, then all the way across America for an emotional meeting with Clancy's only surviving relatives in New York. Join Geoff on an epic motorbike adventure, as he relives Clancy's grand tour, discovering first-hand how the world has changed since Clancy's first motorbike journey over a century ago, and as he pays tribute to a motorcycling legend.
