Paul Pritchard to return to Clachaig

Back in the days when we ran the Clachaig Winter Lecture series we had any number of personalities from the world of climbing, mountaineering and other 'out there' silly past times. And certainly, the 'big names' such as Chris Bonington & Doug Scott drew in the crowds. But of all the lectures, it was Paul Pritchard that sole the show with the biggest crowd one impromptu February night.
Paul's climbing antics were well known in the climbing circles, but it was a climb on the 'Totem Pole' in Tasmania that really brought him wider acclaim. His book of the terrible accident won the Boardman Tasker award for mountain literature.

For some time we've been trying to Paul back to Clachaig. But, as Paul now lives half way round the world, its been a bit of a struggle. However, looks like we've agreed a date for March to coincide with the Fort William Mountain Festival.

More details soon. But make a note in your diary for Monday 9th March.
