First Speaker: Jacqui Trotter – The Stans

Jacqui Trotter talks about her journey overland back home from London to Australia via the five stans: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.

A break of 20 minutes.

Second Speaker: Duncan Gough – 100 miles to Burgos.

Back road delights within one hundred miles of Burgos in northern Spain.

If one visits Spain from the UK by using the ferry the beautiful little city of Burgos is within 100 miles of both ferry ports; Santander and Zierbena (Bilbao). Within a 100 mile radius of Burgos, there are a host of very little known but wonderful places to visit that are off the beaten track. Let me take you on a back road adventure.

Duncan first visited Spain in 1983 and felt as if he had come home. He visits whenever he can on his motorbike. In 2014 he gave up Theatre and Film work to concentrate on writing about his travels. More information can be found on his website.

A break of 20 minutes.

Third Speaker:  Will Batho – Using adventure to inspire change

A former helicopter pilot to the special forces, extreme sports fanatic, educator and coach, Will combines his love of adventure with his experience of personal development in challenging situations. His incredible journey of discovery during Expedition Himalaya with a group of wounded veterans will explore the power of the outdoors and the science driving transformation through adventurous journeys

The meeting will take place in zoom, if there is a large demand we will also stream the meeting.
