Early last year I posted a review of First Overland, a fascinating tale of a mid-1950s overland voyage from London to Singapore. Since I made the post, Antony Barrington Brown, one of the expedition members, has made several helpful comments, the most recent of which came today with news of a First Overland Reunion.

The reunion is being held in London (England) at the Royal Geographical Society on Friday, 25 November at 7:00 p.m. and will be introduced by Sir David Attenborough. Tickets are free and available from Tim Slessor at 37 Southdean Gardens, London SW19 6NT, telephone 020 8788 7054 or email timslessor@aol.com, and from Antony Barrington Brown at 26c Upton Lovell, Warminster, BA12 0JW, telephone 01985 850 106.
