Not too sure where to post this, but Touring and Expedition seems a reasonable heading.

...is my grandpa's diary of his Tour (in 1897) around part of northern India. He was no journalist, so while it well never win the Pulitzer Prize, it is still interesting, particularly to a cyclist!
(When I am struggling up a slight incline with my 21 gears etc., I do think of him and wonder what sort of wimp he would have called me. He died 90 years ago, so we never met).
