"Khyber Knights" an incredible adventure
Rating:
5 / 5
Tree years ago I trekked with my newly acquired Andalusia/Arab cross from Southern Spain through Portugal to Santiago, along the Camino trail to the Pyrenees, up the west coast of France into Brittany, ferry to Plymouth and home to Penzance. It took four months to complete the two thousand miles trek. It was not until 2003 that I heard about the Long Riders Guild, and became acquainted with CuChullaine O` Reilly, and became a member of The Long Rider Guild. It has been an enriching experience knowing CuChullaine.
I suffer with BiPolar Disorder, last year I was experiencing some problems, CuChullaine sent me a copy of his book `Khyber Knights' reading it help me put things into perspective.
A mind-blowing experience of a book, it took me through the full gambit of emotions. I cried, laughed, I felt anger at CuChullaine's mistreatment.
His love and respect of horses shone through, and gave us an insight into the exradornary relationship that can exist between humans and horses.
I felt at times as if I was right there riding with him through the roughed mountains of Pakistan.
He has given me food for taught and inspiration to continue trekking in the future.
Thank you CuChullaine for sharing your intimate thoughts and experiences with us.
High Adventure at its best !!

The shadow of Mr. O'Reilly's hands has crossed squarely over my path. A couple of days ago a book arrived called "Khyber Knights". After helping him up out of the dust and debris, I never left his side for the next six hours. I finished his adventure the next day after another nonstop 8 hour read-a-thon. I think when someone said, "go forth and have an adventure", he pulled the throttle all the way back. What a great story he has shared with the world. I learned more about Muslim life and about the Qu'ran than the last two years of news reports. Bravo!!
Enormously Exciting !

CuChullaine O'Reilly has told the story of his courageous adventure on horseback through the "fiery forge" of the North West Frontier of Pakistan. Not only was the author imprisoned in Pakistan's most infamous prison, after being kidnapped and tortured, but he also describes the horrific end of his horse who died in the mountains. Exciting Stuff !!! I couldn't put the book down. Well done, CuChullaine.
