The Caspian Hare Posted November 15, 2017 #1 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Quote The family of a British explorer who has vanished on a quest to reach a lost tribe of headhunters say they fear he may have been attacked by drug barons. Benedict Allen's wife and sister say he has gone missing before and have not heard from him in three weeks because he has no phone or GPS device. He was dropped by helicopter into the remote jungles of Papua New Guinea in late October and a search has since been launched for him. His wife Lenka is frantic with worry because he is supposed to have started his journey home by Sunday but missed his flight. The 57-year-old father of three, who has explored the Gobi desert and the Amazon in a lifetime of adventuring – once eating his own dog to survive, tweeted before he left that he 'may be some time' and told people not to 'rescue' him. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5082983/British-explorer-missing-remote-headhunters-jungle.html 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still Waters Posted November 16, 2017 #7 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Update: Quote Missing UK explorer Benedict Allen has been seen "alive and well" near an airstrip in Papua New Guinea. The BBC's Frank Gardner said Mr Allen had asked to be rescued and efforts were under way to retrieve him, but he was "not out of danger yet". http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-42009854 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldrover Posted November 17, 2017 #8 Share Posted November 17, 2017 Well, I'm very glad, but not in the least surprised, that he's turned up. I wonder if there'll be a book out anytime soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
