Secret Compass: March on Magdala
This is an expedition to retrace the footsteps of a unique chapter in British Imperial history - the fascinating campaign of General Robert Napier (later Field Marshal the Lord Napier of Magdala) against the Abyssinian monarch, Emperor Theodore II in 1868. It was in effect, the first British hostage rescue mission. We will explore this seldom visited corner of the Simien Mountains in the North East of Ethiopia by foot and mule over the course of two weeks in the spirit of the Victorian explorers.
