A night on the Toon

Up to Newcastle overnight to give the Cath White Memorial Lecture, which was a real privilege. The weather was not ideal for my usual exploration, but I managed a bit of a wander. 

My talk was recorded, and may be made available on the YouTube channel of the GA Tyne and Wear Branch. I spoke about some of the things that have kept me in the classroom for so long. Cath's widower was present along with some of her friends - who were not geographers. There were also teachers, university academics, retired people and students - quite a varied audience to keep interested for fifty minutes. I think I just about got away with it...
