A critically acclaimed author and explorer is coming to Cumbria as he takes to the stage for his third UK tour this autumn.

Levison Wood is bringing his new tour The Art of Exploration to Kendal’s Westmorland Hall on Friday, October 14.

Travelling across the country, Levison is visiting 15 towns and cities with the two-hour one-man show, where he will recall tales from his lifetime of travel and Army career to world-renowned expeditions.

The best-selling author and photographer has worked and travelled across more than 100 countries and has written nine best-selling books.

In The Art of Exploration, he will share his experiences and learnings from his travels, his Army career including serving in the Parachute Regiment and the front-line of Afghanistan, to his photo-journalism assignments in the Congo and Nepal.

The 40-year-old has trekked thousands of miles through some of the world’s most testing environments including the Nile, Himalayas and the Arabian peninsula and his UK tour will see him reveal the lessons he has learnt on the road.

Levison said: “The Art of Exploration presents me with a great opportunity to reveal the life lessons I have learnt and how we can all benefit from applying the philosophy of travel and the Art of Exploration to our normal everyday routines, so we can achieve a positive mindset and get things done.

“We all have our own journeys on which we have to travel - whether that is to the corners of the globe or by balancing day-to-day life. It is a challenge for us all at some point and I hope I can inspire the audience to embark on their own personal journeys.”
