With Tracey Murray at the lectern we had two excellent speakers to entertain London on a sunny, spring afternoon:-

First up was the returning Jonathan Kaplan who spoke about his Travels in Eritrea, through an adventure entitled “A wedding and two wars on the Red Sea. “.

The second speaker was Peter Gostelow who spoke about his Long Bike Ride Home. In the summer of 2005 Peter left Japan, where heÂ’d been teaching English for two years, and began travelling home, by bicycle. This solo and unsupported journey lasted 3 years and took him through 30 countries, covering a total distance of over 30,000 miles. For more information see his trip journal at www.gostelow.crazyguyonabike.com or his web site at http://www.petergostelow.com.
