    We ve left a lot of men in Borneo know what I mean? With their SAS trainer s warnings ringing in their ears, the naturalist, Redmond O Hanlon, and the poet, James Fenton, set out to rediscover the lost rhinoceros of Borneo. They were loaded with enough back-breaking kit to survive two months in a steaming 95 (in the shade) jungle of creeping, crawling, biting things. O Hanlon could also rely on his encyclopaedic knowledge of the region s flora and fauna, and had read-up on how to avoid being eaten by anything (stick your thumbs in a crocodile s eyes, if you have time). And yet they proceeded to have an adventure that neither O Hanlon, nor his friend, nor even his guides were remotely prepared for Consistently exciting, often funny, and erudite without ever being overwhelming Punch.

  • - A Journey Between the Orinoco and the Amazon
    av Redmond O'Hanlon
    224,-

    Redmond O'Hanlon found few experienced adventurers willing to accompany him on his four-month trip up the Orinoco river and across the Amazon Basin. He wondered why... Was it perhaps the fear of contracting dysentery, rabies or river blindness? Or maybe it was a disinclination to meet peckish jaguars, vipers, anacondas and 640-volt electric eels? Surely it couldn t possibly be reluctance to swim among giant catfish, with their relatively harmless penchant for nipping off a person s feet? Fortunately, an old friend volunteered, having absolutely no idea what he was letting himself in for. But then O Hanlon didn t have much idea either. How the intrepid ornithologist and his sidekick managed to survive some serious travelling trouble makes for gripping, and hilarious, reading.

  • - A Journey Through the North Atlantic
    av Redmond O'Hanlon
    241,-

    Redmond O'Hanlon describes his extraordinary three-week trip on an Orkney trawler as it journeys far into the north Atlantic in search of its catch. Young skipper Jason Schofield has a 2 million pound overdraft on his boat, the Norlantean, which is why he has to go out in a Category One Force 12 hurricane when the rest of the Scottish fleet has run for shelter. O'Hanlon may not be much help when it comes to seamanship - in the words of one of the crew, he doesn't know his arse from his tit - but he is able to wax lyrical on the amazing deep-sea fish to be found north of the Wyville Thomson Ridge: greater argentine, flying squid, blue ling, the truly disgusting hagfish and many other exotics.Combining humour with erudition, O'Hanlon has written a vivid and compulsively readable account of a journey that for sheer terror beats all his previous adventures.
