Speaking on Saturday, December 5, 2026, we have :
1st: Tiffany Coates – Tiffany’s Travels – How It All Started
he story of how Tiffany Coates went from being a non-rider to setting off heading to India two-up on a BMW just two months later. A journey that was to lead to two and a half years of motorbike adventures before Tiffany eventually made it home having crossed Europe, Asia, Australia and Africa.
Since that initial journey, Tiffany has gone on to become the world’s foremost female motorbike adventurer, covering over 300,000 miles. She was the first motorcyclist to have crossed Asia on all three classic routes. As well as trips to Timbuktu, Borneo, Tibet, Madagascar and Outer Mongolia.
When not out on the road Tiffany lives on the cliffs above Lands End and is an international tour guide guide, leading groups across Asia, Africa and Latin America
2nd: Rosemary J Brown – Moving Mountains Intrepid Women Climbers and The Peaks Named in Their Honour
Join Rosemary J Brown to celebrate nine extraordinary women who reached the pinnacles of exploration and are immortalised in mountains named after them. Defying altitude, expectations and convention, they reached some of the highest places on Earth, achieving an honour long reserved for men and monarchs. Though their names endure on soaring summits, their remarkable stories have largely gone untold…until now. From her recently published book Moving Mountains: Intrepid Women Climbers and the Peaks Named in their Honour Rosemary will share with us the daring adventures of forgotten woman mountaineers from the 18th century until present day including the first woman to stand on the roof of the world (Junko Tabei) , the only woman among the thirty-three members of the legendary
Lewis and Clark Expedition of the American West (Sacajawea) and the first climber to scale Mont Blanc in the depths of winter (Isabella Straton).
Rosemary is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, a Churchill Fellow and a member of the Alpine Club, not to mention a long-time member of the Globetrotters Club.
