Mark Kalch – Solo Crossing, on foot, of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Mark returned to the London branch to give his fascinating perspective on one of the political world’s “rogue” nations and as most travellers would probably expect…painted a unique & very welcoming destination.
The people are friendly and quietly proud of their country – politics & religion are only elements of Iran…there is also the millennia of history and the fantastically varied geography – the CIA list Iran as being the 18th largest nation by land mass!

Alastair Humphreys – Call of the Wild.
The return of one my favourite speakers and someone who London has had the chance to enjoy quite a few times as he develops his career…fun filled Alastair 🙂 This time round he took us through a dashing recap of his latest travels – crossing Iceland and circumnavigating England’s busiest road, the M25, by foot ! Both as entertaining as the other and good examples of his notion of micro adventures…
