BY THE AUTHOR OF WALKING THE HIMALAYAS, WINNER OF THE 2016 EDWARD
STANFORD ADVENTURE TRAVEL BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD 'Download Levison
Wood's Silk Road odyssey, Eastern Horizons, onto your splash-proof
kindle. Then read on a sun-lounger, between dozes, wishing you were
doing those terribly adventurous things - which being secretly glad
you're not.' Duncan Craig, Sunday Times Levison Wood was only 22
when he decided to hitch-hike from England to India through Russia,
Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan, but he wasn't the conventional
follower of the hippy trail. A fascination with the deeds of the
early explorers, a history degree in the bag, an army career
already planned and a shoestring budget of GBP750 - including for
the flight home - he was determined to find out more about the
countries of the Caucasus and beyond - and meet the people who
lived and worked there. EASTERN HORIZONS is a true traveller's tale
in the tradition of the best of the genre, populated by a cast of
eccentric characters; from mujahideen fighters to the Russian
mafia. Along the way he meets some people who showed great
hospitality, while others would rather have murdered him... This
book confirms that Levison Wood, Winner of the 2016 Edward Stanford
Adventure Travel Book Of The Year Award, has indeed 'breathed new
life into adventure travel ' (Michael Palin)
