worth a read !
« on: April 12, 2005, 15:12:49 »
My copy’s of ‘Brats’ Africa by road and Sahara Overland ‘by Chris Scott’ turned up this week, what a brilliant read these are for anyone planning a overland trip. Full of loads of useful info and tips. (Reading bits while I should be working  :lol:  ) some of the tips are good even for normal eveyday break downs.
 Only down side is putting prices next to the equipment lists at the back is starting to get a bit on the high side. Oh well one year I will do it  :roll:

Btw ama*on do a good deal on buying both together.

looks like good reads but are they more like a planning book or does it have a story too? (im referring to both books before i buy)

Thanks.  I've added them to my Wish List.  Which means nobody will buy them for me so I'll buy them myself :)
