The husband and wife team of Colin and Julie Angus are coming to town with their latest show Rowed Trip.

The film tour across Canada previews a book they have published with Random House about their latest voyage, a 7,200-km rowboat and bicycle adventure from Colin's ancestral home at the northern tip of Scotland to Julie's family home in Aleppo, Syria.

Tenting on land and sea, the seven-month expeditionvia an interconnected route of rivers, canals, ancient transportation corridors, oceans and coastlines passed through 13 countries. Rowed Trip describes the marathon rowing holiday with film, drama and lots of humour.

Colin says "it will delight not only the adventurous but anyone who has discovered the delights and challenges of travelling with a spouse."

Rowed Trip is scheduled for the Alix Goolden Hall, 907 Pandora Ave. tonight at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance, $18 for students and seniors, and $22 at the door $20. Advance tickets (cash only) are available at Ocean River Sports, 1824 Store St.

Call 250-381-4233 for reservations and more information.
