Nasty Monkey Bites! Sneezing At Tigers! Stiff Upper Lips! (Crikey!) 
Profile of old-school explorer John Blashford-Snell.

. . . a few old-school explorers are still hacking their way through the brush, square-jawed envoys to the secret world - and Colonel John Blashford-Snell is the most vividly drawn of the lot.
