  Three months on a dinghy on East Africa's longest and most remote river, avoiding belligerent elephants and rhinos, and jail in Uganda are just some of the travel experiences had by the indefatigable Christopher Portway. He trekked 1,400 miles across the Andes, following in the footsteps of the Incas and he escaped German captivity during the Second World War by hitching a train to freedom. Over every kind of terrain and utilizing every possible form of transport - a camel in the Sahara, an elephant in Thailand, dogsledding in Greenland and mule-riding in the Moroccan Atlas mountains - no one can come close to equalling the extraordinary travel experiences of this man.
