Very very (very) glad to be finally booking flights out to Africa again - late November and I'll be back in Zimbabwe with the two Ladies in the pic who are waiting patiently for safari ❤️
July 2008, southern Morocco. Taking aid donations (clothes, toys, books, food) to Tuareg refugee camp from Terrington Hall school near York
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
May 2022, the eastern Himalayas of Nepal - the bamboo forests near Ilam in a beautiful Series 1 with Aakash Shrestha and thanks to Raj Gyawali

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
