Every now and then I make public appearances to give talks about my work. Occasionally I remember to post the details here in advance. My apologies for any omissions or delays…

Running in Exmoor and beyond
This year’s Parracombe Arts & Literary Festival in Devon coincides neatly with Endurance Life’s big package of Exmoor endurance races (from 10k to ultra), so it seems a good time for a talk about the ups and downs of running in wild places. Event starts at 3pm. More details here..

What makes a village?
Getting on for two decades since it first appeared, I’ve been receiving a lot of enquiried about The Lost Village, my exploration of the changing nature of rural life. One of them resulted in this talk, in aid of the beautiful St Botolph’s church in Slapton, Northamptonshire. Provisional time and place: 18:30, The Old School, Abthorpe; more details nearer the time.

Mountains, running and books
I’m thrilled to be taking part in the first ever Otley Bookfest in West Yorkshire. My event, provisionally starting at 7pm, will be a chaired discussion involving some genuine stars of the mountain-running scene as well as me. May also include some actual running, at some point in the festival. More details when available.
