TRUCK IT

Follow Bobby Bolton and his trusted dog, Red, as they truck from Wigan, England, to the other side of the world, adventuring through continents and finding love along the way.

When Bobby’s eleven-year relationship broke down, he hit rock bottom. Verging on bankruptcy, he lost his purpose in life and struggled with his mental health. Drowning his sorrows in a pub with his sister one day, Bobby boldly declared that he would turn his life around by driving from his hometown of Wigan all the way to Australia. The next day, Bobby’s plan kicked in–he sold his construction business and spent all the money revamping a truck that he would drive and live in with his dog, Red. A couple of weeks into his adventure, Bobby met a gorgeous French woman in the Alps, fell in love, and after just two dates she joined him in his truck to see what might happen next. And this was only the start of the adventure…

Paying corrupt Russian policemen bribes; digging out mountain passes in Albania with an old spade; getting punched at the Kazakhstan border; lighting a fire under the fuel tank to defrost the diesel at minus fifteen degrees in Montenegro; having a mountain track collapse in Italy; being interrogated by the Taliban at a dangerous border crossing; or sliding down a snow-covered mountain, ice axe in hand, to rescue his new girlfriend as she fell 200 metres down, narrowly a cliff face…it’s one way to fall in love with life again.

Action-packed, down-to-earth and with a real emotional core, Bobby Bolton’s Truck It is an epic, escapist adventure with heart.
