Seeking both adventure and a connection with their forebears in other countries, Canadian couple Julie and Colin Angus embarked on a 4,300-mile trek that would take them through 12 countries. Rowed Trip, told in alternating voices, records this epic trip made on amphibious rowboats that also carried bikes for land travel. Readers witness the couple's struggles and triumphs as they brave 40-knot winds in Scotland, survive a near-shipwreck off the Turkish coast, and feast on a Ramadan dinner in Aleppo. Rowed Trip offers travelers and dreamers an exciting, inspiring story of a once-in-a-lifetime journey.

Cycle and rowed trip,
By M Fechete (Baton Rouge, LA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Rowed Trip: A Journey by Oar from Scotland to Syria (Paperback)
Husband and wife decide to do a long self propelled trip together from Scotland to Syria, following water ways as much as possible. Sharing some of their inner thoughts about each other during the journey was amusing. Passing through many countries and encounters with the locals also reminded me of an adventurous version of a Bill Bryson book. They also faced many obstacles, but managed to carry on, and despite knowing that they eventually reach their goal, it created suspenseful reading.

This review is from: Rowed Trip: A Journey by Oar from Scotland to Syria (Paperback)
I like the way they trade off writing their accounts of every other country they travel through. Both good writers and you can see the differences in their personalities. I have lived in Europe and I expedition kayak, so their accounts of the good and bad parts of the trip were meaningful. Reading it makes me want to get out there and do my own trips.

I have put this book to one side after reading up to arriving at Dover.....just cannot get into it....seems that this book was written in haste without any real thought or polish....very monotone...it's a shame because I was really looking forward to this book's release only to be disappointed.
"The Unlikely Voyage of Jack de Crow" by A.J.Mackinnon is a far better read.
