Pete lives in Cornwall, England and loves old English folk traditions and customs, such as Wassailing. He has also dressed up and participated in period re-enactments for well over forty years.
Having had three careers, working in silk screen printing within the pharmaceutical industry, technical theatre involved with lighting and lighting design and finally his own shop selling European style board games and puzzles. Pete is now looking forward to retirement and a fourth career as a writer! Pete also does work at Lanhydrock House for the National Trust and can often be found filming bits and pieces on various TV and film productions in Cornwall. He is happily living with his partner, Gabrielle, in Bodmin, Cornwall.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. In 1986, with a freshly redundant job, a dangerously optimistic outlook, and a wallet full of cash, the author answered a small advert in Private Eye and accidentally signed up to cross Africa in a pair of elderly Bedford trucks. What followed was not a carefully curated "journey of self-discovery," but a rolling, rattling, frequently ill-advised expedition through deserts, jungles, war zones, borders that barely existed, and toilets that definitely shouldn't have.This is a diary of life on the road as it really was: long days of dust and breakdowns, sudden bursts of awe, staggering natural beauty, questionable food choices, heroic drivers, ingenious fixes, black-market economics, and an alarming range of medical complaints. From gorillas in the mist to flamingos by the million, from military checkpoints to mosquito-ridden campsites, the trip lurches between the sublime and the ridiculous - often within the same paragraph.Written with honesty, warmth, and a sharp eye for human absurdity, this book captures a moment in time before mobile phones, GPS, and risk assessments, when travel relied on luck, patience, humour, and a shared kettle. It is a tribute to the people who made it possible, the strangers encountered along the way, and the peculiar bond formed between a group of semi-lost travellers bouncing across a continent together.Part travelogue, part confession, part love letter to organised chaos, this is Africa as experienced from the roof of a truck - unforgettable, unpredictable, and occasionally slightly terrifying. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9798233122750
