“I would thoroughly recommend Quintin Lake’s talk, supported by the most fantastic photographs, of his solo walk around the whole coastline of the U.K. In thirty six years of organising Wilderness Lectures, whose theme is ‘worldwide adventure’, I have rarely seen a presentation of such an unusual style and format. It is quite unique, and very captivating. Quintin changes the pace and content constantly using fresh ideas, and addressing different themes from start to finish. He shows just how utterly beautiful our varied coastline really is, tells you of his encounters with this county’s fantastic wildlife, relates stories of generous hospitality in the remotest of places, and is modest about the sheer scale of this remarkable achievement. He clearly holds strong views on subjects like the Right to Roam and graphically showed the problems he encountered, particularly when it came to English landowners! The talk is a constant mix of shifting experiences, injected occasionally with humorous anecdotes. I think his talk was one of the most unusual, interesting and visually impressive talks I have had the pleasure of listening to.”
