Speaking this month we have:

1st. Jacqui Trotter – The Stans

Jacqui Trotter talks about her journey overland back home from London to Australia via the five stans: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.

2nd. Gavin Boyter – Run the orient

Armed with a toilet trowel and a converted Mazda Bongo called Roxy, self-styled ‘ordinary’ ultrarunner, Gavin Boyter, embarks on his latest long-distance challenge: to run the 3400km from Paris to Istanbul along the route of the world’s most illustrious railway journey, the Orient Express.

3rd. Jon Lord – ‘Africa’s Forgotten Pearl’

What is it we can learn from a blind singer on the River Nile, Coffee with Pygmies or a lion with a limp?  Bumping down the dusty tracks of a remote corner of Uganda in an old 4×4, Jon explores the motivations into why we travel and how our sense of perspective and attitude to risk changes. After lots of unexpected discoveries and near misses with large wildlife, Jon discovers that there is a lot more to Uganda than just its checkered past – truly a hidden gem and one for the bucket list.

    From Patricia Garnett : Wonderful pictures and commentary Jacquie ! Thanks so much.
    From Dave Bowen : Thanks Jacqui. Lovely tour.
    From Rosemary Brown : Great stuff Jacqui!
    From Paul Huard : All the ‘Stans are former Soviet Socialist Republics that were part of the Soviet Union. They still maintain strong economic ties with the Russian Federation, mostly because of oil and natural gas exploitation.
    From Paul Huard : Pardon me — Afghanistan was NOT an SSR.
    From Doreen Tayler : Look forward to hearing the next stage of that amazing journey. x
