On Thursday 26th July Sustrans are hosting an evening with explorer and broadcaster John Pilkington who will be recounting his exciting journey across Central Asia.
In 2011 John followed an intriguing branch of the Silk Road from the Caucasus across the Caspian Sea to Samarkand. He then turned south-east to explore the High Pamirs of Tajikistan and Afghanistan – a region well-known to Marco Polo – before reaching a spectacular finale at the source of the Oxus in the heart of Central Asia.
