A GUIDE TO SOUTH AFRICA MOUNTAIN PASSES AND POORTS

Osborne Porter publishes book by Patrick Coyne inspired by epic journey over mountain passes and ports.

Osborne Porter Literary Services has published a book titled A Guide to South Africa Mountain Passes and Poorts by Patrick Coyne, who describes himself as both a passes fanatic and an old car fanatic. The book was inspired by the epic journey undertaken by Patrick and his wife, Helen, in their classic Rover over 50 of the country's mountain passes and poorts.

The book is illustrated with monochrome pictures of each pass visited with a centre colour section, as well as maps of each area. A feature of the book is the list of GPS co-ordinates for every stop mentioned. Included are places of interest that are within reach of each pass or poort described, as well as hiking trails nearby. Some of the information has never been published before.
