The talk

Alan Marsden will give an illustrated talk about his recent trip by bicycle from Nordkapp, the northern tip of Norway, to Capo Passero, the southern tip of Sicily, over seven weeks in July and August, through Norway, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Austria and Italy.

He will give an account of his experiences, where he stayed and some of what he ate to fuel his pedalling, or just because it tasted good.
