Kicking of the season with a talk on Syria & Iran, you will find below details of events for the next six months - including a horse trek presentation with Richard Dunwoody and a slide show on village India by Jonny Bealby.

Solar Eclipse Tour - India
Our 2008 trip to Mongolia to view the total solar eclipse that took place on the 1st of August was a raging success, and the God's smiled on our group who were blessed with perfect weather conditions. Having ventured into wilds around Khoton Lake, our group spilt into two to see the eclipse from two different vantage points. To read a first hand account of the eclipse and see a spectacular image as captured by group member, Robert McKenzie, check out Tom's blog entry http://www.wildfrontiers.co.uk/wildfrontiers/blog.jsf
In 2009 we are offering people the chance to witness the total solar eclipse phenomenon (the longest in 100 years!) in rural India. Our Village India Solar Eclipse tour departs on 18 July 2009.
Be warned, our solar eclipse tours are very popular and tend to sell out well in advance, so if you would like to join us please do get in touch sooner rather than later.
