Our speakers at EMFF 2020 were:
Jenny Graham – Sunday 16th February at 7pm
In 2018, Jenny set off, eastbound, from Berlin with the aim of becoming the fastest female to cycle the 18,000 miles around the world. Riding unsupported, she rode through 15 countries as she smashed the record by 20 days, coming home in 124 days. It’s worth considering that when Mark Beaumont broke the record for the route back in 2008, his time was 194 days!
Jenny, from Inverness, will recount tales of her journey in a bubbly and fun way, sharing the fun times as well as the hardships and determination faced on her epic journey.

Leon McCarron – Saturday 15th February at 7pm
In December 2015, Northern Irish adventurer, film-maker and writer Leon McCarron set off from Jerusalem to walk 1,000 miles through the heart of the Middle East. The five-month-long journey took him through the rolling green hills and terraced olive groves of the West Bank; the deep chasm-like wadis and ancient kingdoms of Jordan; and the vast, rugged deserts of the Sinai peninsula.
