Mountaineering lectures at University of Derby Buxton

Date posted: 30 April 2014

How to get to the top in Alpine exploration is the subject of a lecture at the University of Derby Buxton's Oaklands Manor Outdoor Leadership Centre on May 7.

Part of a British Mountaineering Council series of lectures, Alpine Aspirations is ideal for mountaineers at the beginning of their Alpine careers, or as a refresher course for those who have had a break from the sport.

The best areas to visit, travelling across glaciers and avalanche awareness are some of the topics to be tackled by Tim Neill, a British Mountain Guide, and Alpinist Rob Greenwood.

And Oaklands Manor is giving away 20 free tickets. To get your hands on a pair (only one pair per request) e-email: l.waterhouse@derby.ac.uk

Sponsored by outdoor clothing firm Berghaus, which has given prizes for a free draw, the lecture starts at 7.30pm and finishes at approximately 9.45pm.

Tickets are also for sale at a cost £5 per person for BMC members and £7 for non-members. A group discount is available when 10 tickets or more are purchased in advance and each ticket will cost £3.50
