| Ffyona's TransWorld Walk had begun when she was 16; she walked the 1000 miles from John O'Groats to Land's End in 49 days. Two years later she walked across America from New York to Los Angeles, a total of 3500 miles in 151 days. Australia was next: 3200 miles from Sydney to Perth in 95 days - a new record. Now Africa. Walking for 31 miles a day for 2 years, she traversed rainforest, jungle, desert and, once a 400-mile-wide minefield. She encountered bush fires, rogue lions, poachers, bandits, pygmies and cannibals. This volume is her gripping account of that astonishing journey, candidly revealing what really went on behind the scenes, vividly recounting the physical and psychological stresses, the disasters narrowly avoided, the victories hard won. Drawing exclusively on her contemporary journals and illustrated with breathtaking photographs of Africa at its most awesome, it is a candid chronicle of one of the most enthralling expeditions of our time. Please note: the author later admitted she cheated: 'she drove on long gruelling stretches after becoming pregnant in a fling with the driver of her back-up van.'
