In this travel journal, award-winning writer Paul Gogarty travels 3,000 miles in a motor home, exploring intimate coastal communities and ruminating on the future of the English coast. After an unsettling benediction at Dover's Eastern Docks he travels to Derek Jarman's Dungeness; to rakish Brighton and Madame Rosina's Bournemouth; the mudflats and Arabian sands of the northwest, where he joins a roomful of comedian George Formby impersonators in Blackpool; the now infamous Morcambe Bay where 21 immigrant workers lost their lives; Billy Butlin's Skegness; and a parachuting vicar. The journey comes full circle in the secret creeks of East Anglia. The Coast Road is a warm-hearted tribute to England's coastline written by a romantic spirit who beautifully captures both the idiosyncrasies of the nation and the euphoria of the open road.

The Coast Road
This is a travelogue written about the author's travels clockwise around the coast of England. It has many interesting descriptions, and it inspired to look more closely at many of his stops along the way, but it never added up to much more than that. The 4 star version would have drawn out a little more conclusions and themes. He seemed hung up for a while with gentrification but realized the rundown seaside places were shit to visit. That said, a great raw text and hopefully, a guide someday for me and my journeys.
