While the speakers listed below are
friends, I have heard them speak on several occasions and I feel
comfortable in recommending them. Click on a name (in blue) to go to
their website.
Paul Deegan
An enthusiastic, young, mountaineer. Has summited Everest and provides
motivational and mountaineering lectures. Very personable and with a
dry sense of humour. To use a Scottish turn of phrase, "he could
blether for Britain". Divides his time between the UK and US.
Angus
Miller (GeoWalks)
Angus is a professional geologist, rapidly establishing a reputation as
an expert in explaining Scottish geology. He runs day and residential
geology trips, provides training in geology interpretation, and can
provide talks on Montserrat, where he monitored the volcano as part of
the international team of scientists.
Hallam Murray
Based in London, I have often recommended him to organisations in the
south of England when I have been unable to fufil a booking enquiry from
that area. A character: full of humour and joie de vie.
John Pilkington
John exudes bonhomie and whenever I have followed him at a venue, he is
always spoken of warmly, and is always repeat booked. He is also a radio
broadcaster and travel author. He can be out of the country for several
months at a time but maintains good communications while away.
Paul Rose
Paul is a BBC TV Presenter, field logistics expert, polar guide,
professional diver & instructor, mountaineer, and yacht skipper. He has
also been awarded the US Navy Polar Medal for his work with NASA and the
Mars Lander project in Antarctica. He's a born enthusiast (as his TV
programmes demonstrate) with a genuine warmth and interest in people
around him.
Geoff
Somers
A dry, modest man who has little to be modest about. He has been to the
North Pole and the South Pole six times each, and has 14,000 miles of
polar travel under his belt. He has advised on TV dramas documenting
polar travel, and has also travelled across deserts by camel.
Spellbound Talks
A small independent agency that aims to provide high quality,
entertaining and informative talks by an exciting range of well-known
and experienced speakers. Run by an ex-colleague of mine from my RGS
days.
