Welcome to the next Alpine Club Peak District winter lecture of the season.

David Hamilton joins us to share his account of his winter crossing of the Pyrenees with Steve Kentish in 2020.

The journey started on the shores of the Mediterranean in mid January aiming to reach the Atlantic by late March. The journey of 44 stages was completed over 63 days, covering 724 km with 54,000 meters of ascent.

The duo were prepared for challenging logistics, difficult snow conditions and variable weather. The outbreak of Covid-19 was not part of the plan. Join us to find out more about this amazing journey through the mountains.

Our Winter Lecture Series is open to everyone—both Alpine Club members and non-members. Whether you're passionate about daring expeditions, fascinated by gripping climbing stories, keen to explore the fundamentals of alpine climbing, or simply eager for an evening of adventure, we warmly invite you to join us.

This year, tickets will be managed via Eventbrite. Tickets are £5 for non-members, while members can secure their free tickets using a discount code that is available on the AC website members area, from the club what's app group or club emails.
