Event Details
Dr Graham Bryce and his wife Ann set off to cycle a 3,000 mile journey to the Middle East, to the land which has been a key part of their life together.
Leaving from Glasgow’s George Square, the pair, who live in Kirkcudbright in the Dumfries and Galloway, will spend 10 weeks cycling through Europe, returning to the war-torn territory which played a part in them getting together.
Ms Bryce volunteered as a nurse in East Jerusalem for two years in the late 1970s. Her time in Palestine left her with an enduring affection for the people and their culture.
In 2015 the pair took part in taking part in MAP’s Cycle Palestine charity distance cycle across the West Bank, pedalling from Nablus in the north to Hebron in the south, finishing in Jerusalem.
The friendships the husband and wife forged led to Dr Bryce bringing his band, The Hallenshankers, to perform at the Bet Lahem Live music festival in 2016.
The Bryces had originally planned to hit the road last September, before the Israeli-Palestine conflict began following the Hamas attacks on 7 October last year.
Now safely home - come and listen to the pair talk about their incredible journey.
