MAGIC BUS COMING YOUR WAY!

For all of you who enjoy arm-chair travelling or are nostalgic about past travel on the overland route to India, BBC Radio 2 have a treat in store next week. The programme, MAGIC BUS (produced by Mark Sandell and narrated by Tony Wheeler of Lonely Planet fame) is going out on Wed 29th July at 10pm.

It will feature music from the hippy trail – what was played aboard the buses and along the route – as well as interviews with travellers. I have contributed to the programme with anecdotes and extracts from my travel diary as an 18 year old hitting the trail straight out of school! It was this trip that inspired my mystery novel THE VANISHING OF RUTH

After the 29th, the programme will be available on iplayer for the following five weeks.
