1960: Four young men set off on an overland trip to India by Land Rover. To give the journey a theme they decided to follow the route of Alexander the Great as far as was possible. They calculated on six weeks there, six weeks back. In the end, due to many unforeseen circumstances, it took them three months to reach New Delhi. 

Their experiences are still relevant today, in spite of the many changes that have taken place in the countries they visited.

‘Overland adventures often start with a loose plan and are typically embarked upon with a ‘flying by the seat of one’s pants’ attitude. After You Alex captures the excitement, uncertainty and adventure of undertaking such a trip and paints a lucid picture of the events that unravelled following in the footsteps of Alexander The Great.’
