Into the Heart of Borneo
Weve left a lot of men in Borneo - know what I mean? With their SAS trainers warnings ringing in their ears, the naturalist, Redmond OHanlon, and the poet, James Fenton, set out to rediscover the lost rhinoceros of Borneo. they were loaded with enough back-breaking kit to survive two months in a steaming 95 Degrees (in the shade) jungle of creeping, crawling, biting things. OHanlon could also rely on his encyclopaedic knowledge of the regions flora and fauna, and had read-up on how to avoid being eaten by anything (stick your thumbs in a crocodiles eyes, if you have time). And yet they proceeded to have an adventure that neither OHanlon, nor his friend, nor even his guides were remotely prepared for. . . Consistently exciting, often funny, and erudite without ever being overwhelming Punch.
