• A second visit to the Destinations Show

    February 5, 2023 in England

    I returned to the Destinations Show today. There were two talks I particularly wanted to listen to. Mark wasn't very well (some kind of stomach bug) so I went on my own.

    The first presentation was by Alex Bescoby. He recently completed 'The Last Overland', a recreation of 'The First Overland', a 1955 journey by Land Rover from London to Singapore. It was a fascinating talk - despite all the tech problems! 😂 Later, back at the van, we watched the first part of the 4-part Channel 4 documentary series he made after doing the trip.

    The second session was by Ash Bhardwaj, friend and colleague of Levison Wood. He was talking about a trip he did along the India 🇮🇳 / Pakistan 🇵🇰 border - another inspiring presentation.
