In an article entitled "In the footsteps of Count Laszlo" a trip into the Western (Libyan) Desert is described by writer and poet Robert Twigger. The destination is the Gilf Kebir, with the Cave of Swimmers, made famous in the movie The English Patient. He recounts the activities of both Laszlo Almasy and Mestakawi, and describes both the desert and the rock art. I am hoping to go to the Gilf Kebir in October with Ancient World Tours, and this brought it one step nearer.
The Yahoo! email address listed for Robert Twigger doesn't work, by the way. It is shown at the end of the feature for use by anyone who would like to go on the expedition he is planning to take to the Gilf later this year, but it is not recognized as a valid email address by Yahoo.
