Paul and Rob are off again, this time in their own backyard and quite literally on their way home! The Wilberforce Way, which runs form York to Hull, celebrates anti-slavery campaigner William Wilberforce, and our intrepid travellers follow this intriguing path, and encounter more than they had bargained for.From the ancient history of York, and a famous piece of poo, they learn that moles don't taste very nice, but they will trip you up. One madman follows another in Pocklington, where they also learn a most secret history, and find out what it has to do with Beverley.Vikings and battlefields amaze with their larger than life stories, and the elements conspire against the boys, but they plough on in more ways than one, just one step at a time. There's more history in Pocklington, with the strange tale of a suicidal batman, and Beverley offers nuns on the run and possible sanctuary.And this is before they even get to Hull, quite possibly the most underestimated little city in England, with more history than you can shake a stick at.
