Walk & Talk

Duncan Minshull

GLOBETROTTING: WRITERS WALK THE WORLD – A WALKING EVENT

STARTS AND FINISHES AT THE FREEDOM CENTRE / SATURDAY 27 SEPTEMBER / 11.00-12.30 / £10

Come along for an amble in the nearby leafy surrounds of Howard Davis Park, with Duncan Minshull. Enjoy the morning views and hear Duncan read extracts from his latest book about the writers who have traversed every continent from the 1500’s to the present day – follow in the footsteps of various men and women travellers, those strollers and marchers, the rational and the outlandish. En route, Duncan will also be asking his fellow footers about the joys of pedestrian travel. Why do you go walking?
