This Sunday, Clare adventurer Declan McEvoy will give a first-hand account of his mammoth, round the world adventure is a once-off talk to raise money for Cancer Care West. This is a rare opportunity to hear about the fascinating adventures undertaken by Declan as he recounts the journey which took him and his 20-year-old motorcycle called Agnieszka around the world. His journey crossed five continents, 59 countries and more than 92,500 kilometres, including passing through two exact opposite poles of our planet. Hear this fascinating story first hand as Declan talks about finding The Door to Hell in the Karakum Desert in Turkmenistan, riding through heavy arctic snows in North America, running out of fuel in the Atacama Desert, being marooned between countries in what is known as no-mans-land, not to mention being taken at gunpoint by rogue Militias in Nigeria. Agnieszka will be there too. This event is in aid of Cancer Care West and takes place on Sunday, June 16, at 8pm in Quin Community Centre. A donation bucket for Cancer Care West will be available at the door.
