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 will be published in the Summer of 2023. Mark is completing the final touches to Journey through Wales after spending nearly four months working his way around the country in 2022. He went to some amazing places and met so many incredible people. Somehow, wacky and wonderful things kept happening. Mark slept overnight in a haunted castle, swam in a deserted cove, and went 500' underground in a slate mine. In the land of song, he enjoyed music and great company at the National Eisteddfod. Mark also visited the places where Bohemian Rhapsody and Stairway to Heaven began life... and there's more! See the gallery in the menu at the top of this page for some images of the Journey through Wales so far...
