Speaking this month we have:

1. Jonny Bealby – The Silk Road.

   As a writer and traveller Jonny Bealby has visited more than 90 countries and, in addition to his books, has had articles featured in a variety of publications including the Daily Telegraph, The Times, Observer, Daily Mail, Elle, Traveller and Wanderlust. He has lectured to the Royal Geographical Society on a number of occasions in both London and Hong Kong.

   In 2002 he took his small sole-trader business, called Wild Frontiers (named after Pakistan’s Northwest Frontier), and expanded. Taking the same approach to trips that served them so well in Pakistan – namely, ‘off the beaten track-meet the locals-get beneath the surface’ kind of tourism – the business exploded. In 2002 Wild Frontiers took 19 clients to 2 destinations; in 2015 they took 1600 clients to 50 destinations.
