In the summer of 2026, Rev’d Dan Beesley and Fr Matthew Cashmore will set out on an 8,600km motorcycle pilgrimage from England to some of Europe’s most significant Christian shrines and sacred places.

Travelling by Kawasaki and BMW motorbikes, we will journey from Walsingham to Jasna Góra in Poland, through the Christian frontier lands of the Balkans, across to Loreto in Italy, and on to Montserrat, Fátima, Santiago de Compostela and Lourdes before returning home.

Along the way they will visit great Marian shrines, ancient monasteries, places of prayer, and communities living at the crossroads of Catholic, Orthodox and Muslim cultures. They will meet pilgrims, clergy, monks, travellers and ordinary people whose stories illuminate what faith looks like in the modern world.

Part adventure, part pilgrimage, and part exploration of Christian Europe, Two Holy Bikers is also the story of an unlikely friendship between an Anglo-Catholic Priest and a protestant evangelical Vicar, travelling together in search of something deeper than simply the next destination.

The journey forms the basis of the forthcoming book, Two Holy Bikers, commissioned for publication with Bloomsbury in 2027.
