| Palin's Sahara crossing ![]() Globetrotting Michael Palin has travelled across the Sahara Desert. He has a wealth of stories to share. And, this morning, he gave us a flavour of them in a special online forum. This forum has now finished. To reach the fabled 11th century city of Timbuktu, Palin had to cross crocodile-infested rivers and scale mountain ranges. In our online forum, he describes his hairiest moment - trailing at the back of a Tuareg camel train as it crossed the Sahara. He also reveals that there's only unexplored region he has no desire to enter: outer space. |
