Notes

1 Toby Savage has travelled widely in Egypt, Libya and Algeria. For ten years he supplied logistical support for a Society for Libyan Studies funded project run by Professor David Mattingly, but he has also contributed to Chris Scott's Sahara Overland guidebook and co-presented Desert Driving with Scott. In 2012 he led an expedition to retrace the route used by the Long Range Desert Group in World War 2 and some Light Car Patrol routes in Egypt, using a matched pair of 1943 Jeeps. http://lrdgroutesrevistited.blogspot.co.uk/
