Winter Lecture: Everest The Old Way
The Norfolk Arms, Marple Bridge
6pm – 8pm
This evening John Driskell and David Peckett take us through the story of driving from Barnsley to Basecamp. Having saved for two years, 5 of them set off in Nov 1967 and reached Everest in March of the following year! They lay claim to the first recorded trek to Everest. In 2010 they returned – a very different journey to a very different basecamp! We’ll hear about the initial journey, way back when, as well as some musings on the more recent trip.
