Consummately contentious, fabulously funny - the ultimate guide to where not to go in Britain
'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.

The Idler, a literary magazine that takes a sideswipe at our work ethic, was founded in 1993 and sought to provide inspiration and comfort to Idlers everywhere. With contributions from names such as Louis Theroux, Toby Litt, Jonathan Ross, Jonathan Coe, Helen Fielding, Umberto Eco and Will Self, The Idler's blend of satire, celebrity, reflection and pleasure has made it into one of the country's best-loved small magazines.
