Summary: From the indefatigable Christopher Portway comes a fascinating account of his journeys around the world. Christopher spends three months in a dinghy on East Africa's longest and most remote river, avoiding belligerent elephants and rhinos, and jail in Uganda; he treks 1,400 miles across the Andes, following in the footsteps of the Incas; and he escapes German captivity in the Second World War by hitching a train to freedom. Over every kind of terrain and utilising every possible form of transport, Christopher's experiences couldn't be more diverse: a camel in the Sahara, an elephant in Thailand, dogsledding in Greenland and mule-riding in the Moroccan Atlas Mountains no one can come close to equalling the extraordinary travel experiences of this remarkable man.
