View all →About This Event
The RSGS Inspiring People Talk presents Mark Wedgwood at Victoria Halls in Helensburgh on 29 October 2026. He will discuss his experiences trekking through the Cascade Range in America's Pacific Northwest during 2023. The event aims to explain how these adventures transformed his perspective from boring to dull. Further details regarding ticket availability can be found on the official website.
A hugely popular speaker, Mark returns to explain how, in 2023, after a month of serious trekking through the mountains and wilderness of the awe-inspiring Cascade Range in America's Pacific Northwest, it struck him as a good idea to cycle back home to the UK. Finding himself near the town of Boring, Oregon, he felt compelled to ride to the village of Dull, in Scotland, joining together two unlikely communities that are "paired for the ages" through their tedious names. And to make it more interesting, he went via Iceland! What unfolded was a unique trans-continental adventure of almost 4,000 miles, brought about by coincidence and an eye for opportunity.?
