An Adventure on the Old Silk Road – John Pilkington

John Pilkington’s account of his adventures on the Silk Road in the late 1980s is sadly showing its age now – both as geopolitics continue to shift, and other writers have followed in his footsteps and (in my opinion) enjoyed better adventures on their travels.

About Me

Born and brought up in Solihull, I studied at St Andrews and in Chester before moving to live and work in London. In 2020 I relocated to Herefordshire.

I’ve done a variety of jobs in the legal sector, focusing on the knowledge management and technology side of things since 2000. You’ll find details on LinkedIn.

SparklyTrainers is about my world outside work. As you’ll see, I love to travel, take photos and read.

My email is [my firstname] @ [my surname].com
