LEAVING University, Christopher Fenwick and two friends were invited to a wedding in Johannesburg, South Africa. Already committed to driving to India, they lengthened their journey by crossing to Kenya and motoring down Africa. Nobody had ever undertaken such a journey before in a small family saloon. Opportunity was provided by the 'political window' of 1960. This opened the road but could they drive it? Follow them on their journey as they eat Fray Bentos at the side of the road, dine at the YMCA and have tea with Mr Nehru, the incumbent Indian Prime Minister and his daughter Indira Gandhi and son Rajiv - his two successors.
CHRISTOPHER Fenwick was for 32 years Marketing and Development Director of Fenwick Ltd, a leading retail group of department stores. He gained a thirst for adventure when, as a Royal Marine, he was sent to defend a pretty island for the British Empire. Later, assigned to Y Troop 40 Commando, he took part in the invasion of Port Said in Egypt on the 6 November 1956. Christopher lives with his wife Paula in Pangbourne, Berkshire. He is a Newcastle United season ticket holder.
