No. That was 'Hundred Days Of Darien'





--- Quote from: "Dave K" ---
It's the expensive one (£75!)
Very good book, almost biblical

Both in content & length
It's a brilliant book, I've got a first edition down in my 'snug'

It was reprinted (a couple of years ago) as a spiral-bound soft-back, if I remember correctly?

Sheppard was a RAF pilot who gained notoriety amongst travellers for his part in the Joint Services Trans-Sahara expedition (in 101FCs)
He is also a highy regarded member of the Royal Geographical Society

And, as for his 'take' on a 90 Hard-Top interior! WOW!!

BigSi:
It was also a joint effort between Landrover and Tom Sheppard. I’m slowly reading through it, it just makes you want to pack up and take-off to some far flung corner of the globe!

mmgemini:
Vehicle Dependent Expidition Guide is one of the books I recomend to people who want to prepare for a trip. I have a paper back Second Edition. The publishers note makes good reading.....

Another book of his worth getting is Off-roader Driving. Buy it if only to read the suppliment with the comments about electronics.....

Both published by Desert Winds.

Tom Sheppard now drive a Merceds G-Wagen.

Third book is a Land Rover one.
Working in the wild, A manual for Africa.
Some useful tips.

got a hard back copy at home, I can dig out the landrover part number for it if anyone wants it.

Originally it was about £29.00 when it was first released (1998), the subsequent spiral-bound edition was about £17.00
