Media Reviews
'A classic account of one man's struggle to test himself against Nature' - Daily Telegraph. 'Sandham is a likeable and self-deprecating narrator, and I found myself increasingly gripped' - The Observer. 'Real old school adventure... Great stuff'- Adventure Travel. 'Sandham proves to be genial company, approaching the trials of the open road with self-deprecating humour... Above all, it is his enthusiasm for adventure and the variety of human life that makes Traversa so memorable' - New Statesman. 'I REALLY enjoyed this book. It had me laughing out loud' - Emma Gregg, Travel Africa Magazine.
