Northern Irish adventurer, filmmaker, writer and speaker Leon McCarron shares tales of his adventures at Turner Sims Southampton on Tuesday March 13, as part of the Royal Geographical Society with IBG lecture series.
In December 2015, Leon set off from Jerusalem to walk 1000 miles through the heart of the Middle East.
The five-month-long journey took him through the rolling green hills and terraced olive groves of the West Bank; the deep chasm-like wadis and ancient kingdoms of Jordan; and the vast, rugged deserts of the Sinai Peninsula.
Along the way, Leon collected the thoughts and stories of the people that he met, and explored the rich past, tense present and uncertain future of the region. This fascinating talk explores the various layers of culture, history, faith and politics at work in the bubbling cauldron of one of the most complex and compelling places on earth – the Holy Land.
