Hillaby's World : Adventures Across Three Continents
|
|
|
London: Sinclair-Stevenson, 1992 " From Publishers Weekly: Hillaby is perhaps best known for his walk from Land's End to John O'Groats, a trek chronicled in Journey Through Britain. A portion of that book appears here along with excerpts from his other travel adventures. His account of visits to the Congo and to the Mountains of the Moon, made during the colonial period, seem dated. "Journey to the Jade Sea" recounts Hillaby's camel trek along the Ethiopia-Kenya border to Lake Rudolph (1963). On a trip to Canada's Northwest Territories he looked at a uranium mine and observed Indians (whom he calls "Redmen") driving reindeer over cliffs. The only non-travel piece offers observations about favorite characters in Hillaby's native Yorkshire. The selections are lavishly illustrated with color photographs; the passages chosen from Journey Through Britain are enduring and classic. Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Cameroon with Egbert
|
|
|
London: Arrow, 1990 "Their most recent sojourn took them to Africa for the first time, where Murphy, eighteen-year-old Rachel and a Fulani stallion called Egbert spent three unpredictable months following ludicrously inaccurate maps leading them from village to village in Cameroon. Although they spoke none of Cameroon's 300 or so languages, the Murphys enjoyed the hospitality of the local people and numerous village chiefs--some with as many as 250 wives--as they made their way through the highlands, where Europeans were first seen fewer than ninety years ago. They camped in the uncannily depopulated Gangdaba Mountains, which soon broke their nerve; during their stay in the breathtaking Mbabo Mountains, they had the chance to observe the indigenous wildlife--warthogs, antelope, baboons, and colobus monkeys.
