A personal portrait
1: The Story of William Moorcroit
Narrator John Rowe with David (;ooderson Harold Kasket and Albert Moses
The early explorers of the Western Himalayas were larger than life - resilient, fearless and. more often than not. somewhat eccentric. Their story equals in daring and achievement the search for the sources of the Nile and the race for the South Pole. This new series recounts the extraordinary adventures of six of these explorers - William Moor croft, Victor Jacqucmont , Joseph Wolff , Godfrey Thomas Vigne. Alexander Gardiner and John Wood. William Moorcroft left India on his last great expedition in 1819. Five years later he was known to he still roaming the deserts and mountains of the Western Himalayas.
Then he mysteriously disappeared. Long afterwards there were unconfirmed rumours that he had reached Lhasa. Could it have been true?
