Pictures from the Book

These are the pictures that Hodder and Stoughton selected for inclusion in the book. Not, probably the choice I would have made from the vast number available... though Flat-iron is a bit of a classic! (Consider that it was shot, in 1981, under expedition conditions.)

These have been scanned in directly from the book, so apologies to the photographers for loss in quality. Better quality pictures from OUCC Spanish Expeditions can be found here.
