'I wish I could think of just one nice thing I could tell you about Hull, oh yes, it's very nice and flat for cycling.' Philip Larkin
From inner city poverty to self-satisfied middle England, from the dull and the lifeless to the ugly and the depressing, Dan Kieran and Sam Jordison are on a mission - to expose the worst place to live in the UK.
To Hull and Back: A Crap Town Odyssey will prove that Britain isn't just the place of warm beer, cosy bed and breakfasts and amiable old gits that some travel books would have us beleive. For forty days and forty nights Dan Kieran and Sam Jordison will travel the country in search of the crappest town to live in the UK. Based on 2003's Crap Towns and armed with the suggestions of readers of the Idler, the intrepid travellers will unearth the burnt out cars, shell suits, cheap shoe shops and housing eststes patrolled by rabid dogs and feral kids that scar the face of this glorious kingdom. Are the disgruntled residents of Hull right to consider their town the worst pace to live in the country? To Hull and Back: A Crap Town Odysssey will find out.
