News the winner of the last award for 2009 has been confirmed…congratulations to Doreen Tayler. Whilst we wait to hear more from Doreens fantastic sounding adventures, we can briefly quote her in her own words:-

I am now back [in the UK] after having spent 4/5 weeks in India following in Kim’s footsteps from Rudyard Kipling’s famous novel Kim of 1901. Much has changed, but surprisingly, apart from the modes of transport and town expansions, much is the same. It was a great adventure, and I was treated with much kindness and curiosity by the locals, on this my first trip to India, where in the course of duty, I was at times way off the tourist trail.

Next award “ I believe that the deadline for receiving applications for the first award in 2010 is 30 April, but I will confirm ASAP once I have heard from the busy organisers
