Fran Sandham -Solo Walk Across Africa

Fran is a former Rough Guides editor, and the author of the critically acclaimed non-fiction book 'Traversa: A solo walk across Africa' which was serialised in the Sunday Times. This talk is his account of his 3,500-mile solo walk coast to coast across Africa (from the Atlantic on Namibia's Skeleton Coast to the Indian Ocean at Zanzibar), the first time in history anyone has crossed Africa solo entirely on foot by this route - or at least solo apart from a disastrous donkey!
