Playing to a full house at The Foundry at Sheffield Union, internationally acclaimed mountaineers Andy and Ian gave an entertaining insight into their expeditions with Ian recounting his first experiences of Alpine Style climbing in the Alps and Andy explaining how to retreat from the North face of the Eiger in style.
With an impressive 9000 miles behind him on his second-solo challenge to cycle the length of the American Cordillera, Mark had set fellow Scots the task of matching his mileage by 20th November. Live from the deserts of Northern Peru, he learned that Scotland had in fact out stripped him, cycling 21,079 miles and raising £4,946 raised for BBC Children in Need.
Leading UK photographer John has received fantastic reviews from the first leg of his UK tour with his audio-visual show, Wild Vision.
In the last six weeks, John has been traveling the length and breadth of the UK, from the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides to Guernsey in the Channel Islands, enthralling audiences with his beautiful images and fascinating stories from the wilderness.
Speakers from the Edge’s very own Karen Darke has won the title of Ultimate Fearless Female 2009 at an awards ceremony run by Cosmopolitan magazine this week.
As he reaches 8000 miles on his 15,000 solo-cycle down the longest mountain range on the planet, Speaker from the Edge Mark has set Scots a challenge to raise funds for this years Children in Need campaign.
Mark has challenged Scots to do their own sponsored cycles, urging them to “Catch Me If You Can”. By the Children in Need appeal night on the 20th November Mark will have pedalled over 10,000 miles and he is hoping that his fellow Scots will be able to match his mileage.
Legendary mountaineer Andy has received great reviews for his 'Learning to Breathe' lecture tour this autumn.
For the last six weeks, Andy has been traveling to theatres around the UK with his moving account of his transition from Yorkshire coal-miner to pioneering Himalayan climber. In true Speakers from the Edge style, Andy's lecture is accompanied by superb audio-visual sections, as one reviewer describes:
For one night only, climbing partners Andy and Ian come together to talk about their expeditions to the Alps, Patagonia and Yosemite.
