DATES & VENUES for JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2010
Internationally acclaimed mountaineer and ex-coal miner Andy Cave is set to travel around the UK this autumn with his gripping lecture show Learning to Breathe.
Andy Cave is a figurehead for British Mountaineering, with more than 20 years of desperate routes to his name. Aged just 20, he became one of the youngest mountaineers ever to climb the North Face of the Eiger, an achievement made all the more remarkable as just 4 years earlier, Andy was working 3000 feet underground at Grimethorpe Colliery in South Yorkshire.
Andy put on such a great show at our corporate dinner last year that we had him back a second time. He’s had the most outlandish adventures and relays them in an effortlessly hilarious way. We’d definitely recommend him.
