  When Jonny Bealby's fiancee tragically died of a mystery virus while the couple were travelling in Kahmir, he decided that the only way to overcome his grief was to go on a huge adventure - travelling alone from the top of Africa to the bottom, and back again, on a motorbike. On his journey he had to contend with wild animals, tribal chieftains, civil wars, sandstorms, wipeouts and other hazards; but the biggest challenge of all was facing up to his own grief, and finding the heart to fall in love again, this time with an Algerian woman he met on his travels. This book is both an adventure story and the story of Bealby's inner journey towards new hope and new love.

  Jonny Bealby was devastated when his fiancee Melanie died unexpectedly while they were travelling in Kashmir. Two years later, still heartbroken and utterly disillusioned, he took on the challenge of a lifetime. Setting out with only his motorbike for company, he began a daring and dangerous journey around the African continent in a desperate attempt to unearth some meaning in his life. Bittersweet, bold and beautifully told, Running with the Moon is a tale of true love and loss, of exploration, adventure and courage.
