My personal account of what some might say a foolhardy and yet momentous trek during the 1960's from Manchester, UK to Durban in South Africa, overland via Europe and Africa in a Ford Transit Van and Combi Caravanette A journey and experience for a small group of previously unconnected people, a journey fraught with challenges, trials and tribulations and a test of all our patiences. A compact and interesting read to while away a few hours .
