NEAR VARNA

With his 50th birthday looming, Graham Field felt a need for something significant to happen so, on Midsummer’s Day, he embarked on what he expected to be an unadventurous European tour on a KTM motorcycle through Bulgaria’s uncrowded and untamed snow-capped mountains and Black Sea beaches, Islamic Turkey, sun-baked and bankrupt Greece, mystic Romania, and recently unsettled Serbia, trying to discover Nirvana – a place where, once found, roots grow, and the pace of life slows to seasonal changes.

This is his fourth biking travel book, beautifully written, thoughtprovoking and emotional, and you can get it from a variety of terrestrial bookshops or on-line retailers, or direct from the author himself via his website at www.grahamfield.co.uk
