McNab was the singer/guitarist for Outspan and Jersey. A small village grew between the church and the outspan (overnight stop). His last book, No Outspan (1943), describes this period. The Outspan Hotel is in Nyeri, Kenya. From 1927 to 1945 she produced two to four illustrations each week for "The Outspan". Baden-Powell's Paxtu cottage, now a small museum, stands on the grounds of the Outspan Hotel. The Outspan Tree today forms part of the WBHS badge.
