'Gibraltar to Taunton' - a talk by Martin Atton
19:30 – 20:45
An illustrated talk on a Cycle ride from Gibraltar, (the southern tip of Europe), across Spain and France and finally on to Taunton. It was about 1500 miles and it took us three weeks. I was joined by my mate Alan Blythe. We were both already OAPs at the time. Very memorable.
