One wet and windy day in the British Museum, Bettina Selby decided almost on an impulse to travel the length of the Nile Valley from the Mediterranean Sea to the mysterious Mountains of the Moon and the great lakes of Central Africa. She designed a special bright-red 'all terrain' bicycle for the journey; and suitably equipped with insect repellants, sun hat, an invaluable filter pump for purifying the waters of the Nile, a Swiss army penknife, and an imppracticable spray for keeping rabid dogs at bay she set off on her 4500 mile adventure .
