Rory Stewart is what the French call "un original "
The English would call him eccentric.
He attempts what no sensible person would dare
to do......Walk across Afghanistan in the middle
of a freezing cold winter. He sleeps anywhere
he can.....roughing it on the floors of village huts.
He is like a long distance demon walker.
He makes an amazing journey.....with much
suffering under harsh conditions. He is a very
courageous man. A great travel book.
