  • New York

    New York:Bob Sacha talked about his work as a
    photographer for National Geographic magazine — don’t you just hate people with jobs like that! And
    Alejandra Gurtman, Medical Director, and Gail Rosselot talked
    about the various diseases worth avoiding and how to avoid
    them whilst travelling.

    April’s meeting has been cancelled due to Passover and
    Easter. Details for the May 5th meeting coming
    soon!

    Christopher Street (btw Greenwich St and Washington St), to
    the right of Crunch Fitness, in the Archive on the first

  • London

    London: Kate Clow an experienced tour leader who
    specialises in developing and conducting long distance walks
    talked to us about the Lycian Way in Turkey. The walk is
    almost 500 km long and takes 4 to 6 weeks although you can
    join at many points. Richard Knight who has just written a
    guide to trekking in the Atlas Mountains regaled us with
    stories of his initial forays to Marrakech and some more
    unsavoury facts about camels.

    Next April is John Pilkington ‘The royal road of the Incas’
    and Jason Lewis -X360- ‘circumnavigating the world without
    using mechanical power’. Should be a good one!!

    London meetings are held at The Church of Scotland,
    Crown Court, behind the Fortune Theatre in Covent Garden at
    2.30pm the first Saturday of each month.
