The Van Bivi Logbook - Book Reviews

Have you read my book entitled The Van Bivi Logbook? If not, don't worry - it is still available to buy in paperback or on kindle by clicking here. It's is a quirky collection of unique travel stories, friendships and adventures that were all born from real journeys and explorations that were transported and housed in the unlikely confines of our old Ford Escort Van. 

 

In a way it's a bit like reading tales from this blog - just from before the word 'Blog' had been invented! The book tales you around Europe, from the highs of climbing remote mountains, to the lows of finding yourself on the back of a pick up truck in a foreign country.

Believe it or not, we were able to live and work in the back of the van while travelling through Europe.

The little van even transported us on multiple winter ski touring adventures - although living in the van in these conditions is not recommended!

If you have read the book, then I'd appreciate it if you'd take a couple of minutes to write a review on Amazon (or anywhere else for that matter!) and/or pass on this blog link to anyone else who you think might in interested in such things. 

 

And if you need any further incentive to take a look inside the book, here's a handful of quotes from appreciative reader reviews...

Reviews of The Van Bivi Logbook:

"Have just read it cover to cover as I couldn’t put in down. Each adventure is beautifully described such that you feel you are there sharing the experience. Ian manages to educate, inspire and entertain - a Bill Bryson in the making. Looking forward to the next adventure!"

"This is an inspiring book which shows just what can be achieved, even on a limited budget, if one has determination, ingenuity and a spirit of adventure. As Ian recounts his travels in the van one is compelled to read on in admiration at his achievements"

"Ian and his partner Clare have been 'out there' and quietly exploring all four corners of Europe based from a small Ford Escort van. They have explored from wavecrest to mountain top, and retreated to comfort of their small vehicle at the end of each day! The writing is fantastic; there is a smooth, poetic, lullaby like quality to the prose. I couldn't put it down. Highly recommended"

Thanks so much! See you out there....
