A terrific read, reflecting a terrific achievement. I would reccomend this book to anyone, regardless of whether they have an interest in sailing (I don't, and I enjoyed it immensely nevertheless). Uttlerly compelling.

.Fly Solo: The 50 Best Places on Earth for a Girl to Travel Alone
City Travel Guides > Books > Solo Travel
by: Teresa Rodriguez Williamson

February 06, 2007
I really liked this book - each chapter is on a different city so it's easy to dip in and out of, and the suggestions for books to read and films to watch before visiting each place is a really good idea. No maps or photos, but she really gives a sense of each place, and the best way to meet other people there. Also, although it's a 'solo girl' travel guide, it's just as good to use if you're heading somewhere in a group, and want something other than Lonely Planet or Let's Go. I'd just knock one star off as a lot of the tours and accommodations she suggests are not really for the budget traveler.

.Maiden Voyage
City Travel Guides > Books > Solo Travel
by: Tania Aebi, Bernadette Brennan

1996-08
Well, it won't really solve your mid-life crisis, unless it inspires you to do something just as crazy. Her father must be one interesting guy, pushing his daughter into single-handing the world with so little sailing experience. She talks about him a lot, and his adventures sound like they're worth gathering up into book form.

.Small Steps with Heavy Hooves: A Mother's Walk Back to Health in the Highlands
City Travel Guides > Books > Solo Travel
by: Spud Talbot-Ponsonby

July 01, 1998
I was MEANT to read this book! My sister is newly recovered from breast cancer. I lived, over 30 years ago, in the Speyside area and my mother and father are buried in Aberlour, the starting point of Spud's journey.I have walked the drovers' route from Knockando to Elgin (a little to the north-west of Speyside. Each year, for the last four years I have walked (back-packed) the pilgrimage route towards Santiago de Compostelle in north-west Spain - but I have NEVER camped, I never walked with a baby, I have never myself experienced the trauma of cancer. I feel so much admiration for Spud and "walked" with her every inch of her outer and inner journey. A "MUST read"!

.Sailing Alone Around the World
City Travel Guides > Books > Solo Travel
by: Joshua Slocum

1969-01
After spending years commanding large merchant vessels, Capt Joshua Slocum completely rebuilds a 37 foot yacht and sets sail around the world in it. Slocum's grasp of the English language is exemplary as he describes his single-handed voyage around the world. The book is a fascinating insight into life 100 years ago when sailors were unable to use electronics for navigation, meteorology or helming and vessesls had to sail around the Capes as the "shortcut canals" (Panama and Suez) had not yet been constructed.

.Now Solo: One Woman's Record-breaking Flight Around the World
City Travel Guides > Books > Solo Travel
by: Jennifer Murray

April 24, 2003
This book is an extraordinary account of an amazing journey by an exceptional woman. I was humbled by her ambition, her perseverance, her stamina, her sheer endurance and above all her courage. Where do these people come from? At times I thought she must have lost her reason, so determined was she despite everything that nature and her fellow man had to throw at her. Some members of her so-called 'support team' should hang their heads in shame on reading this - while others went more than the extra mile to achieve a great goal. As long as there are people like this out there doing things like this, there is hope for humanity.

.Solo

by: Pen Hadow

November 11, 2004
I really enjoyed Solo. If you like amazing stories of courage and survival I would highly recommend this book. Not only a fascinating account of crossing the arctic but also a record of the earlier years and what drove Pen Hadow to finally realise his dream.
Good stuff
