Here’s an event which will interest all ramblers. The Rucksack Club are hosting an evening in the company of Sir Chris Bonington on February 10th at The Heatons, Heaton Moor Rugby Club to start at 7.30.
Sir Chris is Britain’s best known mountaineer and one of the most successful expedition leaders in history. He started climbing at the age of 16 and has been on 19 Himalayan expeditions, including 4 to Everest. He is renowned for having made many first ascents in the Alps and all the greater ranges of the world. This year Chris will be giving six new “life and times” talks, covering his sixty years spent in the mountains. With original images and raw footage, this is a rare opportunity to hear about some of the greatest expeditions of the twentieth century.
