Meet the 92 year-old teacher finally calling it a day.

Almost seventy years ago, a young British army officer arrived in the Indian subcontinent ready for adventure. He never left.

Major Geoffrey Langlands was present at the birth of Pakistan in 1947 and has spent more than half a century teaching there. Now he is looking for a successor to take over his mountain school in the Chitral Valley in northern Pakistan.

You don't see too many like him anymore, the old fashion British Adventurer. Not quite "The Man Who Would Be King", but none the less a very interesting life this man has lived.
