Aug '05, breaking camp on ash plain at foot of active volcano Ol Doinyo Lengai in Tanzania. I'd been warned that locals had abducted overlanders the day before so, tho' it doesn't look it, this is dead ground where i could stay the night unobserved. That day -on to the Serengeti

Bought it from you at the LRO show. A fantastic book, I enjoyed every minute reading it. Thanks Sam.

I had the chance to shake hands and get it in person. Can confirm it's a great collection centered around vehicle based exploring. If that is your vibe, this is a great book. If vehicle based exploring isn't your vibe, this is a great taster on what the experience can be.
Finally got round to putting my book on eBay, if anyone is short of Xmas present ideas! Includes international postage if needed Link - ebay.io/m/R2LKOp

I don't want flying cars. I want clean water. I want a stable climate. I want bees to survive.
