In And Far Away Peter Steele tells of his and his wife Sarah’s 11,000-mile drive from England overland to Nepal to work in a hospital in Kathmandu. From there they trekked into little-visited West Nepal where Steele climbed a small mountain and carried out a life-saving surgical operation in a Tibetan tent. They worked in Labrador running the Grenfell flying doctor service. Then the Steele family spent six months crossing Bhutan making a survey of endemic goitre in that remote country.

In 1971 Steele was doctor on the ill-fated International Himalayan Expedition to attempt climbing the South West face of Mount Everest. Subsequently he and his ten-year-old son, Adam, hitch-hiked round northern South America.

Finally, Steele decided to abandon his nascent career as a surgeon, and he and his family emigrated to the Yukon where he worked in family medicine.
