About this listen

When Ted Simon rode 64,000 miles round the world on his 500c Triumph Tiger, he inspired thousands of motorcyclists to begin their own adventures, including Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman, who chronicled their travels in Long Way Round. Nearly 30 years later, Ted Simon took to the road again to retrace the epic journey he made in his 40s. He meets up with old friends and acquaintances, revisits old landmarks and locations, and rediscovers himself, as well as the world, along the way. Dreaming of Jupiter is a remarkable achievement and a fitting sequel to Jupiter’s Travels, the groundbreaking classic of motorcycle adventure.

A hugely enjoyable book, beautifully written. Haven't enjoyed something so much since Paul Theroux.
Great armchair adventure while my kids are young!

Essential reading

Take time to listen to the book if you Enjoyed Jupiter’s travels. Realise what is possible, and remember, it’s the interruptions that make the journey.

Fantastic follow up to Jupiter’s Travels.

It's funny old loop that our lives follow I read jupiter's travels when I was young. Along with the hobbit and Lord of the rings. My love for two wheels both pedal and motor powered and buggering off on a whim.camping and drifting along. Be that for days weeks etc.. I never travelled liked Ted as far around the world but I have many great adventures. Finding love in unusual places. With a calmness that fell on me whilst living in Spain. With dreaming of jupiter, I have relived and remembered the great stuff and I mean great stuff both good and bad of my formative year. Ted Simon has been an inspiration for me aswell as he has for others. I hope now I can pass on to my beautiful daughter the joys of adventure and of following one's dreams. Because without these how can we ever grow and leave the world a better place than how we found it

There and back again

Loved the descriptions of places, and people. Will read again. I almost preferred to Jupiter's travels. I am 60 so maybe that is it? Anyway very good book. Thank you Mr Simon.

wonderful story telling. A life we'll lived.

I thoroughly enjoyed getting lost in Ted Simon's travels as much as the first one. the story had depth and we get an insight into Ted. Rupert Degas had to be one of the best narrators I have heard. He brings the story to life so much so that you forget it is not Ted who is talking. I think of I were to hear Ted himself speak it could be confusing 😄

great book and a superb narration

A modern hero, an inspirational story. A choice half full/empty. This is not an account of a holiday this is Gritt

A Hero

First read Ted in 1988 - I loved it - purchased a motorbike and traveled to France - it taught me all I needed to know - it's safer to read about someone else on a motorbike and I switched to 4 wheels - 30+ years still my dream to travel across Africa from London - respect Ted many thanks for all the dreams you are Jupiter

Still the best travel book

This melancholy marvel is a worthy successor to Jupiter's Travels and a brilliant companion piece to it. It's evocatively written, often funny and always honest. But perhaps most of all it is, like JT, utterly superbly narrated by Rupert Degas. Perfect marriage of voice and material.

Brilliantly performed
