Wheelbarrow Across The Sahara (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781520418155)

This is Geoffrey Howard's account of pushing a Chinese wheelbarrow, 2000 miles from Beni Abbes in Algeria, to Kano in Nigeria. He wanted to be the first to cross the Sahara Desert on foot, without the aid of a camel, carrying his food and water. This gripping record of of those gruelling 93 days is alight with humour and peppered with the eccentricities of those he met on the way.Chris Bonington said that it is compulsive reading. Humphrey Carpenter said that it is the most extraordinary contemporary travel book he had ever read.
