The people he meets, the difficulties, the triumphs. This book is the story of Tony's adventures through that incredible month. 'I hereby bet Tony Hawks the sum of One Hundred Pounds that he cannot hitch-hike around the circumference of Ireland with a fridge within one calendar month'. The next morning there is a note by the bed. It is, he insists, a 'magical place', so magical in fact, that a man could even get a lift with a fridge. Until one night, heavy with drink, he finds himself arguing about Ireland with a friend. Two years pass but the fridge incident haunts our author. 'I had clearly arrived in a country', writes Tony, 'where the qualifications for 'eccentric' involved a great deal more than that to which I had become used'. This seemed amazingly optimistic - his Irish friends, however thought nothing of it at all. Whilst in Ireland for an International Song Competition, Tony Hawks was amazed to see a hitch-hiker, trying to thumb a lift, but with a fridge.
