Return to Patagonia
Julian and Oliver Campbell are great. They found a hundred year old guidebook to Patagonia in their attic written by their Great-Grandfather.
Of course they decide to go and re-trace his steps. "With friend Harry Glass, from Oxford, they travelled about 600 miles from the foothills of the Andes to the Atlantic with no modern equipment.
Even their clothing - britches, riding boots and ponchos - was true to the Victorian era. Julian, 26, Oliver, 27, and Harry, 26, wore gentleman explorer's outfits of three-piece tweed suits, top hats and Panama hats when they were in towns or villages."
This is what I want to be doing! not at the mercy of connex trains, not working in OpenPlanOffice, no Eastenders, The Premiership, TalkSport, B&Q, Safeways, MSBlast or Sunday evening gloom.
However the oldest thing I'm likely to find in my attic is a 1973 Tiger annual. I'm not sure that's going to help.
