When the North Wind Blows - Ian Parnell

Adventures amongst the World's toughest mountains

'Leading alpinist and mountain photographer Ian Parnell takes a humorous look at what makes British climbers tick. Whether it's swinging axes in the middle of summer on the chalk cliffs of Dover, battling 70 mile an hour winds in search of the coveted \full winter conditions' in Wales and Scotland or running out of food half way up a 9 day new route in the Himalaya Ian has the stories, the photos and the film. Expect to be entertained with tales of collapsing tents, being avalanched into world war II bomber planes and why Sir Ranulph Fiennes is the World's best non-climber.'

Tim Emmett - Spicy Times

Awesome lecture. Fantastic turn out. Tim's fans from Keele Mountaineering Club in attendance. Couldn't have been better...

Tim was on form - energetic and inspiring. The lecture covered all of Tim's passions within and relating to climbing; including para-alpinism, base jumping, sport and traditional climbing, ice climbing and deep water soloing.  Exciting stuff with an amazing ice climbing route - Spray On - the hardest ever ice climb.

We were treated Tim's new film Muy Caliente! that has just won Best Climbing Film at Graz Film fest in Austria. No guessing why - everyone was gripped. A must see.

Our thanks to Tim for putting on such a great show and to everyone who came and made it such a good night.

£100 raised for Mountain Rescue - thanks to everyone who contributed!
