The Travellers’ Tales - Alastair Cairns Hull

1971 was a time of significant change. In many parts of the world border crossings were opening up. There was a freedom and desire to travel through undiscovered countries. Further education gave a generation of young people new visions to explore and discover different cultures, languages and religions. There was a freedom to become adventurous. The overland route to India and the Far East was open and followed by many inquisitive people from Europe and North America. During this time there was a dramatic revolution in music, clothing and social attitude. A desire to get away from traditional family routines. Drugs and looser sexual morals were easily accepted. The war in Vietnam raged on, generating demonstrations and draft dodgers. When following the trail there were many people to meet, those travelling with similar quests, those serving the travellers with food and resting places. There were villages, towns and cities to explore. It was an era when the trail promised wonder, adventure and excitement.
