Three Men in a Land Rover by Waxy Wainwright

Setting out from London's Charing Cross in 1969, this extraordinary adventure took three young men through Europe, Asia and Africa on the trip of a lifetime.
At the wheel of 'TEN', their 1964 Series IA Land Rover, Chris Wall, Mike Palmer and Andrew 'Waxy' Wainwright navigated across challenging terrain and through political unrest - finding themselves held at gunpoint, being arrested on suspicion of murder and even accused of spying

From the civilisation of northern Europe, to crossing into Burma on an inflatable lilo - this brand new, 208-page book is the tale of a truly epic overland trip covering 40,000 miles and 40 countries, as told by the three gentlemen who undertook such an achievement - using their own personal diaries of the time as the basis and including more than 250 never-before-seen photographs and documents from their archives.

With support from the United Nations Association, the 'UNAtrek' overland expedition also visited a number of supported projects in remote areas, helping to highlight the important work that organisations such as UNICEF were carrying out at the time and, through reports sent back to the UNA as well as the wider press, their story is an intriguing window into an evolving world, as the 1960s gave way to a new decade.
