My friend Tony Barnett, who has died aged 81, was one of the hardy survivors of the 1960s counterculture and an inveterate traveller who began his adventures on the hippy trail in 1962, setting off overland to Morocco.
Even in much later life he was still travelling for months at a time through India, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Laos with a kit bag weighing less than 10kg. It was on such a trip, in Sri Lanka, that he fell ill with pneumonia and died shortly afterwards.
