Aye Write 2019: Alan Brown
Coast to Coast Across the Heart of the Highlands
23rd Mar 2019 • 1:15PM – 2:15PM • Mitchell Library
Seeking a temporary escape from city life and a mad modern world, Alan Brown plotted out a personal challenge: an epic coast-to-coast trip through the wild and lonely interior of the Highlands.
Armed with the essentials, and a sense of adventure and curiosity, he discovered more about nature, history, people, his country, the concept of risk, and himself, than he ever thought possible.
In his book Overlander Alan gets to spend time with nature and himself, where he takes his time, wild camping under the stars on a journey of discovery.
