During the Southern Hemisphere summer of 2008/09, Julian Wicksteed began a two part hitchhiking and fly fishing adventure exploring the southern and northern extremities of the American continents - he began with Patagonia - the southern tip of South America. With five months ahead of him;he first travelled south through Argentina to Ihla Tierra Del Fuego, and then returned north on Chile's southernmost road, the Carratera Austral. The breathtaking Patagonian scenery provides a backdrop for interesting dialog with the local rural people (and stray dogs) met along 'the road less travelled' - not to mention trout fishing second to none.
