More usable information in 60 pages than most have in 600
 
Review Date: November 17, 1999
Reviewer: ,
This book does not try to make you an expert backpacker, and therein lies its beauty. Harry Roberts knows that experience is the only route to expertise, so he only tells you enough to start getting experience. He doesn't confuse you with more information than you need, but he doesn't leave out anything important. As a result, this book has more usable information in 60 pages than most have in 600. He doesn't bore you with endless detail about gear brands and features (which will change next week anyhow.) Instead, he gives you a short, practical gear list and tips on what you do - and don't - need on the trail. If, like me, you're a recreational backpacker, this may well be the only book you'll ever need.

In other words: “This is the REAL DEAL IN THE RAW!” This is my 1st You-Tube video!

Product Description
Backpacking With A Bunion is a travelogue of discovery and adventure across the countries of S E Asia. The journey begins in Bangkok - where else; and ends up on the island of Flores in Indonesia. My story as a mature 'gapper' is outlined in the Introduction, as well as some of the highlights from my trip. The reader if so inclined could follow my journey on a map - it works quite well as a jigsaw, though I have certainly left plenty of room for flexibility and spontaneity. Travel, like life is not always straightforward, but that's the joy in it. Each chapter is given a descriptive heading to provide a unique flavour to the areas visited. They are roughly in chronological order to give a sense of continuity to my travelling over a period of eighteen months, but could stand alone as set pieces. I have tried to make the book as varied as possible with various quotations, travellers' tales and humour and more serious religious, cultural, political and environmental observations. I have included some facts and figures (where appropriate) on history, geography, transport arrangements, places of interest and personal experiences, thus painting a picture in words of sights, sounds and happenings. The book concludes with S E Asia in a nutshell, a summary of what the traveller might expect and emphasising that travelling changes the traveller. And hopefully reading this book will change the reader's perspective too.
