- **Event Name**: Social: Horseback Across the Ligurian Alps
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 25 Jan, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Louis Hall is a writer, rider and explorer from Fife.

In the summer of 2020, Louis and Irelanda (Connemara x Highland Pony) completed the 1,147mile journey from John o’ Groats to Land’s End, raising over £36,000 for Cystic Fibrosis in memory of Louis’ friend Leo, meeting, staying and riding with SERC Lothians members as he passed through Central Scotland. 

He named his ride The Big Hoof and this is also the name of the Scottish charity that he founded, 
promoting adventure and well being through the power of the horse. 

In 2022 he and his Arabian horse, Sasha, set off from Siena, Italy heading West. What was intended to be a charity journey to the Atlantic Ocean, destination Cape Finisterre, became the challenge of a lifetime with the crossing of the Ligurian Alps as the defining moment of this ambitious trek to ‘the end of the land.’ Battling 
snowstorms, injury, untamed trails, wolves and freezing cold the journey pushed Louis and his horse to their limits. Louis shares this story in his debut book In Green, an awe-inspiring tale of adventure, grit and the deep bond between man, horse, and nature.

Louis is an inspirational speaker and this talk is enthralling for horsey and non- horsey people alike. All you need is imagination and a sense of adventure. He has spoken at the Kendal Mountain Festival, Wigtown Book Festival, Royal Scottish Geographical Society Inspiring People Talks and the Wilderness Lectures. 

Join us for an exhilarating evening!

Tea/coffee and cakes/biscuits available.

Louis will also have his book In Green with him for those wishing to buy a copy.
