The North Face Announces Lecture Tour Dates

It may only be August, but the North Face has already announced details of its 'Summit Series Lecture Tour' this autumn.

The tour will feature four of TNF's team of extreme athletes revealing the secrets behind their adventures in audio-visual presentations across the UK.

'The lectures will appeal to die-hard fans of the great outdoors as well as those who like to learn about new areas', says TNF's Keith Byrne. 'With gripping stories such as fighting off polar bears with pots and pans!. Each lecture is brought to life with a mixture of superb photography and films and we fully expect them all to be sold out.'

The Team...

Legendary climbing taxman Mick Fowler will be talking about a recent mountaineering trip to China. Baz Roberts, who summited Everest in 2004, will thrill audiences with a talk on the first winter ascent of the highest peak in the Arctic when he also fought off a Polar Bear attack!

World renowned climber, Simone Moro, will inspire with a talk on his 20-year climbing career that has taken him to some of the remotest places on the face of our planet: from Patagonia to Russia and the Alps to the Himalayas.

Leading kayaker and film-maker Justine Curvengen will leave listeners in awe about the first all-female circumnavigation of Tasmania and kayaking up the East coast of Kamchatka in Far Eastern Russia when her team were arrested and their kayaks taken away on a tank.
