Venue: The Wee Bookshop, Dollar
Join us for an inspirational evening as Douglas talks about his recently published book 'Just a Glimpse', a memoir of his extraordinary and unusual life which he shares with his family from his home in Dollar and Greenland.
Combining wilderness adventures, family drama and entrepreneurship we are taken on a riveting, often emotional and sometimes hilarious, journey of his varied life and endeavours which include:-
Signed hardback copies of the book will be available to purchase and £15 (all profits) from each book sale will be donated to The Polar Academy - a Scottish children's charity based in Bo'ness.
The Polar Academy works with “invisible kids”, impacted by bullying, bereavement and abuse and turn them into resilient role models, for life.Their programme takes young people through 1 year of intensive physical and mental training and culminates in a winter sledge haul. The extreme challenge of exploration allows them to realise their full potential like no other opportunity can. By showing them what they are capable of, this experience permanently improves their self-belief.
