Fran Sandham talks about his solo walk across Africa and his book 'Traversa'
About this Event

The Friends of Wallasey Library present a captivating talk from lecturer and freelance author Fran Sandham. Tickets are £5 each and include light refreshments.

Critically acclaimed author and public speaker Fran Sandham took on the challenge of a lifetime, by walking across Africa from Namibia's Skeleton Coast on the Atlantic to the Indian Ocean near Zanzibar – completely alone: no backup, no support team, no one to carry his gear, no sponsors, no film crew, no journalists.

His book about the journey, ‘TRAVERSA: A Solo Walk Across Africa’ had fantastic reviews on both sides of the Atlantic and was serialized in the Sunday Times. Come and hear him speak about his amazing journey.

'A lively and engaging speaker whose journey on foot across Africa needs to be heard to be believed.' BBC LONDON 94.9 FM
