Summary

Read by the author, Bobby Bolton.

Join Bobby Bolton and his trusted dog, Red, as they drive from Wigan across the world – and fall in love with life again . . .

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

Drowning his sorrows in a pub 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, he sold what was left of his business and spent every penny converting a truck that he would drive and live in with his dog, Red.

A couple of weeks in, fate struck when Bobby met a beautiful woman named Marie while hiking in the South of France and fell head over heels in love. 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; surviving a mountain track collapse in Italy; being interrogated by the Taliban at a dangerous checkpoint; and sliding down a snow-covered ridge, ice axe in hand, to rescue his new girlfriend as she fell two-hundred metres, narrowly avoiding a cliff face . . . it’s one way to reconnect with the world around you.

Action-packed and completely inspirational, Bobby Bolton’s Truck It! is an epic adventure with heart and a good dose of northern charm.

A magical story filled with peaks and troughs travelling through some of the world’s most challenging countries, where local families restore faith in humanity and bureaucracy exacerbates beyond belief. It doesn’t disappoint! I’ve followed this story from the start and will be buying the book to support and read again!
