Andy Cave's New Book Out Soon

Top British climber Andy Cave's second book, Thin White Line, is published on 1 May 2008 and Peak District locals also have the chance to see Andy at a launch event in Hathersage.

The new book is the sequel to Andy's excellent autobiographical Learning to Breathe - one of the best climbing books we've read in a long time - and takes up where it left off following the death of his friend and climbing partner Brendan Murphy on Changabang.

Thin White Line, says the publisher, is 'as much a journey into the mind of an extreme mountaineer as it is into the wild landscapes through which he travels'. Cave re-evaluates his relationship with the mountains while climbing hard routes in Patagonia, Norway and Alaska. It's a book we're really looking forward to reading.

Hathersage Event

To tie in with the launch, Andy is appearing at Outside in Hathersage on Thursday 8 May where he'll be reading from the new book with images and answering questions from the audience.

It's a ticket-only affair with entry costing £4.00, but that includes wine and a finger buffet at 7.30pm for an 8.00pm start. if you want to attend call Outside on 01433 651936.

Thin White Line is published by Random House on 1 May 2008 priced at £18.99. More information at www.randomhouse.co.uk.
