“A Road for all Seasons: A tribute to Britain“. Fundraising talk for Stourpaine Village Hall, Dorset – postcode DT11 8TJ. Join us for a talk by local travel writer Harry Bucknall who will entertain us with an anecdote-rich account of his travels in search of what makes this island nation tick. Propelled by a growing desire to better understand our island nation, Harry decided to undertake a pilgrimage of sorts; he embarked on a series of four journeys across Britain that would mirror the changing seasons, totalling a distance of over 6,500 miles, focusing as much on the beauty of the fertile land as the people who inhabit it.

Harry is an acclaimed travel writer who has chronicled this journey and others such as his pilgrimage on foot from Canterbury to Rome and his peregrinations through the Greek archipelagos on his journey from Venice to Istanbul,

£5 entry with a glass of wine. All proceeds to the Village Hall. Copies of A Road for All Seasons will be available at the event for a special discount rate.
