RUGGED ROAD - THERESA WALLACH

THE RUGGED ROAD - GESCHREVEN DOOR / WRITTEN BY THERESA WALLACH

Het reisverslag van hun reis van Londen naar Kaapstad in 1935 over land met een Panther motorfiets met zijspan en een aanhangwagen. Geen wegen, geen back-up, gewoon door de Sahara, door Afrika naar de Kaap, zelfs zonder kompas !

London to Cape Town overland by Panther motorcycle and sidecar, pulling a trailer. No roads, no back-up - just straigt across the Sahara through equatorial Africa, and south to the Cape - in 1935, without even a compass ! This is simply the most amazing motorcycle journey ever told and a revelation to today's traveller.
Undeterred by nomads, sand drifts, heat, rain, rivers, breakdowns and politics. Theresa Wallach and Florence Blenkiron completed a journey that might well defeat a modern machine today. From oasis to oasis arguing with the French Foreign Legion for permission to continue, and winning; fashioning a tow hitch for the trailer when it broke in the desert; rebuilding the entire engine from scratch in Agadez; meeting gorillas, lions and snakes on the road, staying in African villages and meeting an amazing variety of friendly and helpful people. Not to mention having an accident in Tanganyika (Tanzania) with the only car seen on the road for days.
