Romantic adventurer reveals Sahara secret—40 years late
28 Oct
BORN adventurer Brian Milton has finally put his first global exploit down in a book—more than 40 years late.
He’s been too busy working as a journalist, ironically, to put pen to paper about driving across the Sahara in 1968 in a clapped out jalopy to marry his sweetheart.
The 67-year-old intrepid romantic from London’s East End set off 41 years ago in a 1937 Austin 7 Ruby called ‘Alexa’ to reach the other end of Africa.
There were no motorways—and often no roads—on his overland route.
