GeoCultura small group travel tours: Fossil hunting at Lyme Regis, Dorset, England.

Private tours

Having now been on two GeoCultura tours I would recommend them to anyone with an interest in finding out about geology.

The tour leader and his assistant were great. I cannot emphasise how good the tour leaders on both tours have been. It is what has made the tours for me. Their knowledge and the ability to impart it to someone who is not a geologist and make it understandable has been amazing. After all I come on these tours to be educated.

The meals were spectacularly good.

The Shetland Bus: a tale of wartime courage, two communities and enduring connections

Imagine you’re on a small, wooden fishing boat, pitching and rolling in the biting wind and foul weather of the North Sea. It’s the dead of winter, in the depths of World War II. You can’t see any lights and you have only a compass to guide the way. The sea is black and merciless.

This isn’t fiction. This was the Shetland Bus, a small but vital secret wartime operation that ran between Norway and the Shetland Isles of Scotland.
