It's the first chance to catch Alan Hinkes talking live about his ascent of Kangchenjunga this weekend - the first two dates have sold out, but the organisers have added an extra one for Sunday.

A while back we told you about Alan Hinkes' lectures at the
National Mountaineering Exhibition at Rheged in Cumbria.
Well, the bad news is that the first two dates on 1 and 2 July are
sold out, but a third date has been added on Sunday 3, July for which
there are still tickets available at £15 each plus £6 if
you want to order a pre-bookable supper beforehand.
The lecture will be pretty much the first opportunity to see Alan
talking about his ascent of Kangchenjunga, which he described as the
hardest climb of his life and which makes him the first Briton to
climb all the 8,000-ers.
Rheghed is also currently hosting a special exhibition about
Kangchenjunga which was first climbed 50 years ago by Britons Joe
Brown and George Band.
