Sahara

Having walked more than 5000 kilometres from London to Morocco, Paula finds herself on the western-most edge of the Sahara Desert – and the brink of sanity. The wheels have fallen off her marriage and her funds are quickly drying up, but she is determined to complete the second stage: walking through the romantic “Big Empty” of Northern Africa.

Sahara is the story of Paula’s struggle to come to terms with the loss of her marriage, overcome her inner demons and take control of her journey, her camels and the men she hires to guide her through one of the planet’s most extreme regions. Illness, landmines and political red tape are just some of the obstacles that stand in the way of her realising her life’s dream.

Sahara is a thrilling adventure and a story of joy, heartache, inspiration and despair. Above all, it’s a celebration of the human spirit in all its guises.
