An Evening Of Adventure: Le Grand Tour (& More)

A few years ago I gave a talk in Saddleworth, just over the border into Lancashire, about my trip from Spain to Norway. In March, I’m back! I’ve been invited to talk as part of the Saddleworth Outdoor Festival. It takes place at the cricket club in Saddleworth and the details are below.

Join us for our annual Evening of Adventure talk night. Once again we have another fantastic line-up of speakers, who will be sharing their stories of personal challenges and awe-inspiring adventures.
