• Here's the Facebook thingy for Emily's talk at LMNH and blurb for non-Facebookers:

    A former London cycle courier, Emily set off to cycle round the world in September 2011, and since then has pedaled her way through Europe, survived winter in the frozen mountains of Eastern Turkey and Western Iran, dodged the police in Balochistan and Qinghai, conquered the 4,800m Khunjerab Pass between Pakistan and China and battled through the heat and headwinds of the Taklamakan Desert to complete the Asian leg of her journey. Well known for her popular and award-winning blogs, she is passing through London on her way to the Americas, will be giving a talk at Look Mum No Hands, and is looking forward to sharing her stories.

    6.30pm, Thursday 31 January, Look Mum No Hands, 49 Old St EC1V 9HX
