Bonington On Mint Cake

We were highly amused by this special Kendal Mint Cake that snuck into our pack lunch at this week's Berghaus press event in the Lake District.


Inside it's the same old sugar, glucose syrup, water and peppermint oil cake - though we reckon 'cake' here is stretching credibility somewhat - but on the front is none other than mountaineering legend, Sir Chris Bonington.

Unfortunately we missed our chance of snapping Sir Chris eating his own personalised mint cake, because we didn't spot it till after the event, but there you go. One bar, two outdoor icons...
