A Land Rover is the star of this book. Assembled from the parts of various scrap Land Rovers found on dumps in the Sultanate of Oman, it emerged as a unique and functional four by four camper. Back in 1980 the author and his girlfriend loaded up the Rover and set off from the Sultanate of Oman with the aim of driving back to England but with no real idea of the route that they would take.
