    1. David Redford: “Glimpses of the Nile -and echoes of the great explorers”

      After retiring from the NHS, David Redford has worked with an International Development project delivering life saving skills in childbirth. This has taken him to a number of African countries, some rarely visited by tourists, and has gradually stimulated his interest and reading into the history of the River Nile, and also the great Victorian explorers who strove to answer the centuries old question – “Where is the source of the Nile?”

    2. Pat Jones: “Mongolia including the Naadam Festival”

      Pat Jones has enjoyed travelling for many years and has had many great travelling experiences. This show shares her memories of a wonderful holiday to Mongolia. She chose to go there when the Naadam Festival , which is held once a year in July , was on. Most of the accommodation was in Gers and she even joined in the building of one!!

    Speaking this month:

    • “High Arctic Expedition” by Kathy Burnie

      But why, Kathy? “Flew into Kangerlussuag in Greenland then cruised up the west coast to Qilakitsoq, stopping at four towns along the way. Then sailed over to Pond Inlet in Canada and proceeded south to visit various areas including Devon Island, Crocker Bay, Beechy Island, Cape Burney and along the east coast of Baffin Island. We ended at Lady Franklin Island near the south end of Baffin |island – then sailed back to Greenland and home. Saw hundreds of huge icebergs coming from Greenland glacier. Saw polar bears, muskox, walruses, whales and two nights of gorgeous northern lights. Fascinating!”
