Book Review: First Overland: London-Singapore by Land Rover

Originally published in 1957, this book is an entertaining account of the first overland motorized trip from London to Singapore. In 1955, five students from Cambridge and one from Oxford set out in two Land Rovers and made it all the way from London to Singapore. One of the students, Tim Slessor, wrote the book and another, Antony Barrington Brown, did photography and filmwork for the book and a BBC production.
A very entertaining read - I could not recommend it more highly. Best travel book of any kind I have ever read, and I have read many. Read more »
