Cool Conversations with Kenton Cool

Mark Evans MBE: Seeking Solitude


Listen Later

Mark Evans has been leading expeditions for over 40 years and he speaks to Kenton from Oman, where he has lived for 25 years. He has very recently completed a 30 day expedition through the Empty Quarter, travelling by foot and by camel, following in the footsteps of Bertram Thomas who first made this journey in 1931.

Mark shares numerous stories with Kenton, almost as if they are sitting around the fire in the middle of the desert. They cover clothing, food, hospitality, traditions, geographical boundaries and locust swarms! Mark also talks about his work with young people in the outdoor environment - the why behind his MBE.

Tune in to be transported to the deserts of Arabia!
