To hell and gone

By C. Johan Bakkes

The author’s adventurous spirit has taken him to destinations all over the world, the common thread being that these places are almost always off the beaten track . . . This collection of thrilling stories recounts his numerous exploits, such as climbing the Ras Deshen, the highest peak in Ethiopia, or venturing into the Danakil desert, one of the most inhospitable places on earth. He also writes enchantingly about adventures much closer to home. To hell and gone is a book to inspire the adventurer in us all.
