Mountain Equipment Pro partner Stephen Venables will be on the road again in January/February 2011 touring 17 venues around the UK with his lecture "In the Steps of Shackleton".
In the last ten years, internationally acclaimed mountaineer Stephen Venables has twice repeated Sir Ernest Shackleton’s famous crossing of South Georgia. Using his highly acclaimed photos and natural gifts as a storyteller, Stephen brings Shackleton’s treacherous expedition across Antarctica to life, retelling this fascinating tale of escape and survival - one of the last great epics of exploration.
“Fast-paced, gripping, witty and full of fascinating historical background.” Sir Chris Bonington
