Cathy Birchall is the first blind person ever to circumnavigate the globe on a motorcycle covering 26 385 miles 31 countries & 5 continents with her companion Bernard on their 18 year old BMW. Adventure & courage all the way
- from feeling the traffic passing so close it touches you as you ride through Indian cities to mounting an elephant from the front (yes really!) & climbing Wayna Picchu with its innumerable steps & vertiginous drops Touching The World takes you on a journey of extraordinary beauty & interest full of surprises. It is unique in the perspective it takes because it is written from Cathy's point of view that of a blind woman. Men do not want you if you are blind why would you want to be with a blind woman?" asks Neena at the Centre for Blind Women in Delhi as Cathy & Bernard experience some heart wrenching cultural differences where a blind woman was considered doubly afflicted & worthless. Their old BMW motorcycle keeps breaking down & you feel for Bernard as the lights dim in Malaysia & the bike grinds to a halt with a dead battery. But somehow they keep the bike going & in this they were often helped by the unwavering kindness of strangers. From border guards guiding Cathy's hand to the bike to anchor her in a strange place to Glen helping perform open heart surgery on the bike in the Nullarbor desert the natural generosity of people is vividly portrayed. Touching The World challenges our perceptions of our own boundaries as well as those of others & portrays vividly just what it means to be blind in a way that has never before been attempted. Cathy & Bernard not only achieve their dream but also set a landmark for us all. " An incredible & inspirational story. Ride Cathy ride!" Ted Simon author of Jupiter's Travels. " Cathy's courage has been truly inspirational for many blind & partially sighted people across the world" Stephen Remington Action for Blind People."
