Scope and content
Two small lined notebooks, closely written in pencil with detailed entries for each day from the point of MMLP's departure up to his return. The diaries give detailed description of daily life, travel, wildlife and environment, the group's activities and weather conditions. A short 'epilogue or anticlimax' covers his return journey across the UK following the end of the expedition.
