Alan Hinkes will do the honours for this year's awards at the NEC and there's still time to vote, just!
Top mountaineer Alan Hinkes, the first Briton to climb all
14 of the world's 8000-metre peaks, has been lined up to present the
2008 OUTDOORSmagic Awards at this year's OS Outdoors
Show in Birmingham later this week.
Alan's experience of high altitude cake-making should stand
him in good stead at the OM Awards.
OUTDOORSmagic editor Jon Doran commented:
'We reckon Alan is a spot-on choice to present this year's
über-prestigious OM Awards. Not only is he one of Britain's best
known mountaineers with a superb record of high altitude ascents,
he's also passionate about mountains and mountaineering both at home
and abroad.
'Last time I saw Alan he was fresh from opening a fish and chip
shop in his native Northallerton, so we're confident he has the
temperament to cope with the big occasion.'

OUTDOORSmagic At The Show!
The good news is that this year we're going to be manning a joint
stand with Anquet just across from the very lovely Cumberland Arms
pub area - how convenient is that?
We'll be running a very special competition with Anquet at the
show and we may also have some good news about a very handy new site
feature. If you're there, drop by and say hello.
Don't forget we have a special
show ticket offer which could save you £12 over the
price of a pair of tickets bought on the day.
