Lone Traveller is based on Anne Mustoe`s second ride round the world. Taking historical routes as her inspiration again, she followed the Roman roads from Rome to Lisbon, travelled across South America with the Conquistadors, chased Captain Cook over the Pacific to Australia & Indonesia & ended with the caravans along the fabled Silk Road from China back to Rome. On the way, she dealt with wild dogs, rats in the bedroom, arrest by the Chinese police & the threat of guerilla attacks. The central chapters give a detailed day-to-day account of the four most challenging sections of the journey
- the Australian Outback, the Gobi Desert, the Karakoram Highway & the voyage up the navigable length of the Amazon in small cargo boats. A useful appendix gives journey logs, with distances covered & overnight stops for remote stretches of road. In the other chapters, Anne tries to make sense of the mass of incidents, problems, people & predicaments by grouping them together under subject headings such as Solitude, Company, Men & Other Animals, & Lessons learned. It is a practical handbook, full of encouragement for all those people who would dearly love to go on a great adventure, but teeter on the brink, full of self-doubt. Anne`s advice is ” Go for it!”A book about the true spirit found in real travellers, written by a real traveller
