Based mainly on diary notes, approximately 60 pages of photos and
reminiscences '40 years on', Overland, Overstretched, Overturned
charts the almost ill-fated progress of The Old Russellian Eurasian
Expedition 1967 - 68. Inspired by the Oxbridge First Overland
expedition to Singapore in the mid 1950s, three ex-school friends
in their early twenties set out from London and, via Germany,
headed for somewhere in the Middle-Far East. At least as far as
India, and maybe further. Travelling in a recently scrapped VW
minibus, they are inexperienced, under-equipped, under-financed and
without any really useful sponsorship. Without heeding the
appalling winter conditions through the Balkans, they make Athens
base camp after ten days. Replenishing expedition funds by working
illegally, they escape the watchful eyes of the military junta
after six months and head east...to a near-disastrous climax on
their return journey through Pakistan.
