The Boast Post Thread - They're long but better than reading the Popcorn Thread.

Great book. Slowly Down The Ganges is ace too. If you like Eric Newby, you should read Patrick Leigh Fermor too - A Time Of Gifts and Between The Woods And The Water both highly recommended.

Good thread, this. Might even be tempted to post my Marmotte write-up from last year.

Ah , I was also going to suggest him as well; I nearly took A Time of Gift away with me to read over the weekend because of this thread.

I thought this trip was rather more on the spirit of Eric and Wanda than Leigh Fermor.

BTW , Eric rode fixed/SS .
