This is the story of an ordinary man who had a true love of the sea, but as a consequence of the war had to deal, as did many others, with extraordinary experiences. Leaving his Cornish village of Landewednack in 1921 Charles, then aged fifteen, began his career in the Merchant Navy as a 2nd Class Saloon Boy with the Union Castle Line travelling to South Africa. He moved on to work on the Great Western Railways Channel Island Ferry, working his way up to 2nd then 1st Class Assistant Steward. Before long he was in the Mediterranean working on a cable ship, and for the next ten years on a cargo freighter travelling to Australia and New Zealand. At the outbreak of World War II Charles signed T124X Articles and joined the Royal Navy as 2nd Steward, subsequently rated at Chief Petty Officer and eventually Chief Steward 1st Class. He saw service in several 'theatres of war' including two Russian Convoys and in the Mediterranean (North Africa and Salerno) before being released from Naval Service in 1946. Following this, Charles, like a lot of people who had served in the war, suffered from ill-health and consequently never went to sea again: starting 'another life ashore' with his family.

Reaching 60 is huge.I had to do something to mark my big birthday! I hit upon the original idea of travelling a mile in 60 different ways during my birthday year. Trying to think of 60 felt like a challenge in itself, not to mention that twelve months in the year meant I had to achieve an average of five per month! Some of them were easy enough and others not quite so easy, in fact quite challenging, but it gave me a real focus for the whole year. I had great fun and felt a tremendous sense of achievement as one by one I ticked them off.I had a wonderful year culminating in a great party for which I had been determined to lose weight. Did I succeed? I should have done as I had a whole year…….but did I????

These are the adventures of two safari guides in Africa. As best friends since their early days at school, each of them has developed a passion and an abiding love for the ways of Africa, its culture and its fauna and flora. The opportunity to pass on their knowledge and experience of their environment to others is for them, an added bonus.Their stories take us on a variety of individual journeys where for instance, Sam and his clients survive a terrifying lion charge; where we witness an extraordinary event involving a stricken zebra foal at a lonely waterhole. We read about Gabriel and the buffalo, and how the realities of life and death on the Savannah are brought dramatically home to one unfortunate traveller, and we experience the greed and cruelty of animal poaching.The wild waters of the "Mighty Zambezi" very nearly claim the life of one of our guides, whilst another finds himself trapped by an unfamiliar species. Finally, we read about what can go wrong on safaris, either through mistakes or sheer bad luck. Wherever they go and whatever adventures they have, Sam and Gabriel's primary goal is to enable travellers from many parts of the world, to be a part of a unique experience that will remain with them forever.
