Part of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society’s ‘Inspiring People’ programme, Mark Wedgwood explains how, in 2023, after a month of serious trekking through the mountains and wilderness of the awe-inspiring Cascade Range in America’s Pacific Northwest, it struck him as a good idea to cycle back home to the UK!
Finding himself near the town of Boring, Oregon, he felt compelled to ride to the village of Dull, in Scotland, joining together two unlikely communities that are “paired for the ages” through their tedious names. And to make it more interesting, he went via Iceland!
What unfolded was a unique trans-continental adventure of almost 4,000 miles, brought about by coincidence and an eye for opportunity.
Come along and be inspired and entertained by this hugely popular speaker.
