The Gran Tour by Ben Aitken

The Gran Tour: Travels With My Elders by Ben Aitken
£9.99 – Paperback

When travelling itself has been difficult, travel writing (and travel reading) has become the welcome alternative. 33 year old Ben Aitken is our guide in this big-hearted travelogue as he joins parties of pensioners on coach journey’s to places he never thought he’d go. With a beautiful turn of phrase, Ben’s observations and writing are both funny and surprisingly emotional – there is much to be learnt, and much to enjoy, by travelling with our elders across the pages of this charming book, we ignore their wisdom at our peril!

If you’ve enjoyed the travel writing of Bill Bryson, you’ll love Ben Aitken’s The Gran Tour.
