Welcome
This is the website of author and traveller Mark Probert. After forty years spent travelling for work, Mark now goes on his own journeys for fun. There are still so many places to visit and things to experience.
In his first book Mark follows the Land's End to John o' Groats route described by John Hillaby in his 1968 book Journey through Britain. Mark takes the scenic route and travels nearly 2,000 miles by motorcycle. His second book was published in November 2021. It describes a five-week Journey through India taken with best friend Dr Nick Lindsay in January 2020 - just before the world closed down because of Coronavirus. |

Journey through Wales - coming soon(ish)
Book number three is underway and should be published early in 2023. Mark is currently working his way around Wales, going to some amazing places and meeting more incredible people. Somehow, the wacky and wonderful things keep happening. So far, Mark has slept overnight in a haunted castle, swam in a deserted cove, gone 500' underground in a slate mine, enjoyed music and great company at the Eisteddfod, and visited the places where Bohemian Rhapsody and Stairway to Heaven began life... and theres more! See the gallery in the menu at the top of this page for some images of the Journey through Wales so far...
