Bagnold and co do this as part hobby and part experiment How do you navigate in a landscape of sand and where a compass doesn't really work? The trips they were undertaking had not been done by car before, this was camel territory, they had been told many times that cars just couldn't do it. Once they had sorted out the cars, figured out how to load them, their mileage and how to accurately navigate they were ready for a proper trip. This is where the book comes to life, some proper edge of the seat adventuring. You get a nice balance of history, geography and the politics of the area, all mixed up with digging out the car again and again. There was never any complaint though, it must have been hell digging out the car in the middle of the day, a scorching sun and it could have been the 20th time digging that day, at one point they were only managing 1 mile a day before getting stuck. When they stopped for the day at an interesting location they still had the energy to have a bit of fun There was also time for some real British eccentricity This was an interesting read, very impressed by what these guys achieved and I liked the ending chapters, good to read about what they learnt being put to good use later on, I think even Bagnold himself was shocked with how much respect was shown to his knowledge of sand. I'd recommend giving this book a read. Over the course of their expeditions they pioneered techniques that are used by desert drivers even today, opening previously unexplored territory and making the first recorded east-west crossing of the Libyan Desert in When the war ended he went into his lab and he wrote The Physics of Blown Sand, which is still the main reference in the field. Libyan Sands, the book he wrote about his early driving expeditions, is a beautifully observed book filled with eloquent prose; a true classic of desert travel writing.

As a child Libyan Sands: Travel in a Dead World book cover that caught and held Libyan Sands: Travel in a Dead World attention was of a canoe, with six men in it, sailing down a jungle river. Longer than the canoe, a giant snake rose up out of the water, towering over the tiny canoe, where one man was caught by the artist, in the act of taking a seemingly futile pot-shot with his rifle at the anaconda python. The book, published inwas passed Do you buy a book on the strength of the cover? Fawcett Camp Known. This was first published in and has been recently re-published by Eland, whose selection of re-prints I think is terrific. The book has a quite brilliant and evocative cover and I would have bought the book on the strength of its cover alone. However, my partner bought it for me and she couldn't have chosen better. If you have an interest in Lawrence of Arabia, of the Long Range Desert Force, of Almasy aka the English patient and of real adventure in a bygone era, then this book is for you. That said, it can get a little heavy going at times because it is a product of its day and holds no concessions to the impatience of some of the modern day's readers. That aside, I found it an engrossing read and heartily recommend it. Mar 06, Martin Allen rated it did not like it. I generally enjoy travelogues but I eventually, reluctantly, abandoned this book on page I found I was reading words but not taking any of it Libyan Sands: Travel in a Dead World. There are only so many times you can read repeated descriptions of sand dunes and it was written in quite a technical way that if you didn't know the area it was hard to picture. It was very different to one of my favourite travel writers, Norman Lewis, who draws you in with deep, vivid description. Bagnold, I found, wasn't a naturally gifted writ I generally enjoy travelogues but I eventually, reluctantly, abandoned this book on page Bagnold, I found, wasn't a naturally gifted writer. He was a fantastic and fearless explorer, no doubt, but a rather one-dimensional 'explainer' of experience. I also found there was very little helpful geographical context. Of course, I accept that at the time it was written expectations of the reader would have been very different. But it felt like a chap writing to some old Army pals who would have known the area and I found myself drifting further and further out of it. Having read other reviews I am sure many will find it fascinating. But, it just wasn't to be Libyan Sands: Travel in a Dead World me. Aug 15, Ann rated it liked it.

  • Covert Military Mobilities in the Libyan Desert, 1940-1943
    Piracy on the high sands: covert military mobilities in the Libyan Desert, 1940-1943 Abstract: This paper explores the history of the Long Range Desert Group (LRDG) who gained notoriety in the Second World War by conducting a new form of covert warfare deep behind enemy lines. The LRDG waged a psychological war; continuously appearing and disappearing, they succeeded in creating a sense that the British were everywhere and yet nowhere. In order to effectively execute these covert operations LRDG soldiers became closely acquainted with the desert, their senses attuned to a battlefield of sand, wind and stars. This paper is a study of military bodies and technologies adapting to perform a novel form of deceptive warfare. Examined from the British military’s perspective it explores how the desert-modified car mingled biology, technology and environment to produce a new form of military mobility which shaped the character and legitimised the use of covert desert warfare. It also reveals how covert warfare was naturalised through a heroic narrative of piracy which inspired the group’s inception, justified its establishment and methods, and framed the soldiers’ own performance and understanding of their actions. Overall, the paper uses mobilities research to expose the processes which legitimise warfare strategies. It also argues that it is only by examining these mobilities that such narratives can be held accountable. In the North African desert in the Second World War a new form of warfare was beginning to be experimented with by the British military. Operating deep behind enemy lines, a raiding group caused havoc by capturing communications and prisoners, destroying supplies and transport and undertaking reconnaissance.1 This was the Long Range Desert Group (LRDG) who waged war by subterfuge, trickery and concealment.

  • Ralph Bagnold Voy­ Aged by Sea to Jamaica and Acquired an Early Taste for Exploration
    Memorial to Ralph Alger Bagnold 1896-1990 M. J. KENN 38 Corkscrew Hill, West Wickham, KentBR4 9BB, England A persceptive intellect; a ready acceptance of “the irre­ sistible challenge”; inspiration from “the thrill of the unknown”; and a rugged, independent, self-sufficient, yet modest, character were the hallmarks of R. A. Bagnold’s colorful, fruitful, and varied life. Ralph Alger Bagnold was bom on April 3, 1896, at Stoke, Devonport, England. Bagnold’s father was Colonel Arthur Henry Bagnold, of the Royal Engineers. Even before attending school, Ralph Bagnold voy­ aged by sea to Jamaica and acquired an early taste for exploration. Also, while living in Jamaica, in a large con­ verted coffee-mill in the Blue Mountains, Bagnold (then five years old) undertook his first recorded hydraulic experiments. These included the construction of a working model of the household drainage system; the diversion of part of the mill-stream through a rock channel; and even the observation of a flood flow into the house. This inquisitive, logical, and practical outlook was carefully nurtured by his father and was later fostered by others such as Charles E.S. Philips (a family friend, and later Secretary of the Royal Institution), by E. C. Bul­ lock (at Malvern College) and by F.J.M. Stratton (in France, Flanders, and Cambridge). Commissioned in 1915, Bagnold spent much of his army life in the Corps of Signals, origi­ nally with the Royal Engineers, in France and Flanders, Cambridge, and Ireland, and eventually (after 1923) with the Royal Corps of Signals, in England, Egypt, India, and Hong Kong.

    RALPH A. BAGNOLD: SOLDIER, EXPLORER, AND SCIENTIST James R. Underwood, Jr. Department of Geology Kansas State University Ralph A. Bagnold (1896-1990) had an innate curiosity and inventiveness as a young boy that was encouraged by his father, a British Army Royal Engineer. Young Bagnold followed a family tradition when, after completing a war-shortened training program in 1915, he became an officer in the British Army Royal Engineers. He spent three years in the deadly trenches in France, after which he utilized a special military educational leave program to study engineering at Cambridge University, receiving an honors degree in 1921 and returning to active duty with the army. Ralph Alger Bagnold† It was a life-long yearning to explore the unknown that led him and his associates, during the period between World War I and World War II when he was stationed in Cairo and later in India, to explore the desert. Using vacation leave periods and personal vehicles, he and his colleagues drove thousands of kilometers in Trans-Jordan, in the Sinai, and in that part of the northeast Sahara known as the Libyan Desert. The sizes and striking geometry and symmetry of the desert sand dunes together with the vastness of the great sand sheets stimulated his desire to understand their origin and evolution, i.e. to understand the processes by which sand is moved by the wind.

  • Advances in Cartography and Giscience. Volume 2 (Lecture
    Crossing Borders: Cartographic and Military Operations and the International Borders in the Libyan Desert before WW II Zsolt GyĘzĘ TĘrök Department of Cartography and Geoinformatics, Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest [email protected] Abstract In the early 20th century the Libyan Desert in the Eastern Sahara was one of the largest blank spots on the modern world map. The harsh geographic conditions and the featureless terrain made traditional European surveys and cartographic representation difficult. Expedition maps remained important sources for cartographic and military intelligence after WW I, when the international borders were demarcated by colonial powers. This article examines the Italian mapping of the remote Kufra region in the 1930s in connection with contemporary desert expeditions. The unknown region was divided by the invisible international border. In search of the legendary Zerzura the real ‘English patient’ and companion explorers crossed that border. The topographic maps compiled by the Italian military and colonial authorities effectively supported imperialistic territorial claims and the Libyan-Sudanese border was changed in 1934. The topographic survey mission to the Uweinat Mountain remained an exception however, and the generally unreliable and inaccurate topo- graphic maps of the region were not revised until WW II. 1- Exploring and mapping the Libyan Desert The interior of the Libyan Desert remained unknown for so long because of the extreme climate and the rigid terrain. The major problem was drinking water which could be rarely found in the vast area. Therefore, for the traditional camel caravans continuous water supply was extremely difficult. Consequently, the regions beyond the range of camel remained A.

  • The 'English' Patient, Fools, Foxes and Rats: Exploration, Mapping and War in the Libyan Desert
    Zsolt G. Török: The ‘English patient’, fools, foxes and rats …. Page 1 of 18 Symposium on “Shifting Boundaries: Cartography in the 19th and 20th centuries” Portsmouth University, Portsmouth, United Kingdom, 10-12 September 2008 ICA Commission on the History of Cartography International Cartographic Association (ICA-ACI) The ‘English’ patient, fools, foxes and rats: exploration, mapping and war in the Libyan Desert Zsolt G. Török Department of Cartography and Geoinformatics Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary [email protected] ABSTRACT The character of ‘Count Almasy’ in the film ‘The English Patient’ was based on the real László Almásy (1895-1951) who explored the Libyan Desert in the 1930s. The search for Zerzura, the legendary lost oasis, resulted in different cartographic hypotheses about the desert. The mental maps of Europeans were substituted by expedition maps, published in geographical journals. The maps of the inner desert were actually based on route surveys. The featureless terrain made cartographic representation difficult: instead of conventional signs, textual information regarding desert conditions, events, observations, old caravan tracks and the routes of expeditions, were represented. From the 1930s onwards the explorers' expedition route maps became important sources for cartographic and military intelligence. The topographical map series of the inner desert, constructed by British and Italian colonial authorities, were based on expedition maps and not on actual surveys. The paper investigates the context of a group of contemporary Italian manuscript military maps in order to reveal their sources. The process of compilation and cartographic masking made the public information, the content of the expedition maps, secret military information displayed on topographic sheets.
