Dealer Notes

Newby’s story of his and Hugh Carless’ travels in Nuristan (North-east Afghanistan) includes an account of their failed ascent of Mir Samir. The relative inexperience of the two travellers provides many entertaining moments, nicely counterpointed by the final episode in the book - a chance meeting with the "English explorer" Wilfred Thesiger.
