Three Men on the Bummel - Softcover

Three Men on the Bummel is the story of a Victorian bicycle trip gone wrong - then wrong and wrong again! A group of British gentlemen attempt a cycling expedition in Germany's Black Forest. Confusion about the differences in language and culture get them into continual trouble, whether it's boarding a train, buying a present for an aunt, or simply trying to get safely from one place to another. Will they ever get back to their own lives - and will they really want to? Reprising the characters from Jerome's hugely popular Three Men in a Boat, this gently humorous book will delight anyone who has ever had an unpredictable vacation.

Some tens years later the same comic characters from Three Men On A Boat go on a cycling tour in the Black Forest of Germany. As they make their way, George, Harris and Yarn learn how to cope with perilous tasks such as purchasing a cushion, taking a bicycle off a train, map-reading in the mountains and even crossing the road.
