The housewife explorers who climbed the Himalayas

I'm told proxy servers can get around this. However, it is not a legal solution.

Another story...

This time on a 600cc Panther motorbike, sidecar and trailer. Two women, 1934, all the way down Africa.

I thought the folks who enjoyed the Housewife Explorers would also dig this...

The book can be found a variety of places. I picked up a copy on Amazon. Interesting, fun read. I only wish the book was longer.
