Three young men, one stubborn Land Rover, and a journey that refused to quit. 'Sometimes the hardest roads lead us home'. When test race car driver Andrew Edwards agrees to deliver a rusting Land Rover from England to West Africa for his cousin, a renowned wildlife artist studying bird migration, he imagines a challenging but manageable adventure. What unfolds is anything but. With two mechanically minded companions and little more than optimism, humour, and an old Series III Land Rover named Lucy, the trio set off from Cambridge on a journey that will test the limits of endurance, friendship, and faith. From the snowy passes of Spain to the vast expanse of the Sahara, they confront mechanical breakdowns, bureaucratic chaos, and dangers that no map could predict. As Lucy rattles across borders and into the unknown, she becomes more than a vehicle she becomes a lifeline, a symbol of resilience and grit. Along the way, encounters with militants, Bedouin warriors, and families living on the margins of survival strip away assumptions and expose the raw, humbling beauty of the human spirit. But when illness strikes and Andrew finds himself fighting for survival in an African hospital, the journey takes on new meaning. It becomes not just a test of will, but a reckoning with vulnerability, purpose, and the fragile miracle of life itself. Told with warmth, wit, and unflinching honesty, A Land Rover Named Lucy is a true story of adventure and endurance, a reminder that sometimes the hardest roads lead us home. 'What a great read! An intrepid tale of adventure and exploration across Africa with blood, sweat and tears .... A must-have for any adventurer's bookshelf, this book will inspire you to push comfort zones, cross horizon lines and break free from the ordinary and mundane … do try it!' Josh James, Bushman, content creator and adventurer. 'This book reminded me of why people chase adventure in the first place. It's not about the destination, but it's about the moments that test you and the memories that stay with you long after all that bull dust has settled.' Lee Carseldine, TV Presenter 'The Great Outdoors' and 'Weekender' 'An exceptional, thrilling ride.' - Katrina Hunter, Author of 22 TRICKS 'Lucy taught us that endurance isn't about strength it's about stubborn hope.' 'When you share a journey like that, laughter becomes the best kind of fuel.'
