Tibet
There's a rare opportunity to hear about genuine exploration on Tuesday 8th December in London. Doug Scott, Julian Freeman-Attwood, Stephen Venables and Mike Searle will be speaking about contemporary exploration in remote corners of Tibet, where little has changed since the time of Sven Hedin a century ago. If you think there is nothing left to explore in the world, think again.

‘Journeys To Auspicious Places’ will take place at the Royal Geographical Society. Tickets, £20, are available on the door. Proceeds from the evening go to Community Action Nepal. The presentations begin at 7pm; a cash bar will be in operation from 6pm. The speakers will be introduced by AA Gill.
