Not Sue and Gordon cycling in Laos or Cuba, in fact no cycling at all due to a postal strike in Cuba, or possibly London. John Donnelly stepped in at short notice to give an excellent evening's entertainment. He walked (rapidly I should think ) over GR 20 in Corsica, north to south. This is something I've been hankering at doing for some time so found it particularly interesting.

I couldn't work out why we started in Scotland, though, and finished in the Lake District. Would I have to do that bit too? Keith Adams accompanied John, completing the route in nine days. This route normally takes much longer, John recommending two weeks for a more leisurely trip. The scenery was very variable, from lovely green pastures to spectacular rocky ridges, and all done in hill running shoes, or was it sannies? This was a back packing trip, which necessitates carrying at least two or three days food, but provisions can be bought en route. John and Keith camped throughout, but it was also possible to stay at huts providing varying standards of food and accommodation. Many of the slides featured John in various precarious positions, he has I understand promised not to pursue a career in modelling.

Douglas Philp gave a vote of thanks for a most entertaining evening.
