It would be one of the longest of all overland journeys half-way round the world, from the English Channel to Singapore. In late 1955, they set off. Seven months and 12,000 miles later, two very weary Land Rovers, escorted by police outriders, rolled into Singapore to flash-bulbs and champagne. Now, fifty years on, their bestselling book, First Overland, is republished with a foreword by Sir David Attenborough.
