This was prompted by a Winston Churchill Memorial Trust Travelling Fellowship in 2006. The Trust offer terrific support to anyone with a pet personal project that requires 4-8 weeks of foreign travel and personal contact to enable that project to be realised. I cannot recommend the Trust too highly.
In addition I have a very keen interest in cycling. By cycling you are able to cover large distances compared to walking and yet remain in complete contact with the surrounding environment and not miss a thing. The French cycling experience with their wonderful cycleroute network, and of course the climate and cuisine (and on the West side the importance of flat routes which cannot be underestimated) is a joy. Two journeys in 2007 to Spain and in 2009 to the Mediterranean (the wonderful city of Montpellier) are covered as a short photographic in www.wrington.net/archive/2010/spain.htm and www.wrington.net/archive/2010/montpellier.htm. The photo on my profile page is taken in the launderette in Nantes on the 2009 tour and summarises much! Plans for 2011 are already in place!
Review of RSA Fellowship nings, social networks
Over the next few months the RSAde Group will be consolidating regional social networks and nings.
The aim will be to improve connectivity for Fellows, improve communication and reduce fragmentation.
If you would like further information on these changes please contact the RSAde team via the Digital Engagement group on this network.
