The People from the Pit: A Trans-African Journey

The People from the Pit is the fascinating diary of Christine Korol Blakemore, who travelled across the African continent with eighteen young people from across the globe in a converted army truck. Describing the hardships which she and her fellow travellers had to endure as they crossed jungle, desert and mountains, she provides a detailed and often hilariuous acount of the problems encountered when a trans-continent expedition is undertaken.
