`I was never going to sleep in & take it easy, there were worms to catch.` In August 2015 Guy Martin crashed out of the lead of an Ulster Grand Prix superbike race held on the world`s fastest racetrack. He had invasive surgery to bolt his broken spine & hand back together, & within days he decided he needed some time away from road racing. But he wasn`t about to take it easy... In his brand new book, discover how Britain`s favourite daredevil fills his time when road racing is taken out of the equation. He set about breaking records on the world`s biggest Wall of Death; cycling 2, 745 miles across the length of the United States (while sleeping rough); attempting to be the fastest person ever on two wheels & travelling to Latvia to investigate his family`s roots. There`s some thrilling racing too, including wild Harley choppers on dirt & turbo-charged Transit vans through the Nevada desert. & there`s the day job to get back to in North Lincolnshire
- the truck yard & the butty van.

This new third edition of Bradt`s Guyana remains the only guidebook available to this South American gem, a jungle-clad country teeming with exotic wildlife. Thoroughly researched, easy to use & interesting to read, Bradt`s Guyana is written & updated by writers who have lived in & promoted Guyana for many years & is an ideal companion for all travellers, from wildlife watchers to fishermen, anthropologists to conservationists & `voluntourists`. Guyana is a destination on the rise, described
- justifiably
- by the tourist board as ` South America Undiscovered`. This new edition of Bradt`s Guyana has been updated to include all the latest developments, ranging from how to see harpy eagles at Warapoka to new culinary experiences, local tour operators, 4x 4 self-drive & new hotels. Truly off the beaten track, Guyana is one of the most fascinating & least-known countries in the Americas. It is also the only English-speaking country in South America. The jewel in its crown is the mouth-droppingly beautiful Kaieteur Falls, which is nearly five times the height of Niagara & the world`s tallest single-drop waterfall. Culturally Caribbean, its capital Georgetown is a curious melting-pot of quaint Dutch & British colonial architecture, steel drums, boisterous nightlife, rum shops with world-class rum, cricket & tropical sea breezes. It is also the gateway to the lush interior which is full to the brim with fascinating flora & fauna including monkeys, black caiman, harpy eagles, giant anteaters, otters & the mighty jaguar. With Bradt`s Guyana, discover all of this, plus where to stay in community lodges & see the rainforest through the eyes of Amerindian guides, where to watch turtles nesting on the beach, how to explore the moody Essequibo river (the largest between the Orinoco & the Amazon), & how to visit the million-acre rainforest reserve of Iwokrama for the ultimate authentic wildlife experience. This third edition of Bradt`s Guyana is the key book to plan an expedition into its densely forested lush interior, often accessible only by boat or small aircraft, before taking some `time to lime` in a hammock in one of its tropical waterfront resorts.
