Kirkpatrick Winter Tour Dates

Britain's most entertaining mountaineering lecturer is back on the road this winter, here's where you can catch the inimitable Andy Kirkpatrick

We've been drowing under a deluge of winter lecture dates and details, so we reckoned one more set wouldn't make much difference, especially when the speaker is the talented and extremely funny Andy Kirkpatrick.

Andy's without a doubt the most entertaining mountaineering speaker around, but anyway, we'll let him tell you what he's up to...


"Somewhere between Billy Connolly and Joe Simpson, Andy Kirkpatrick takes the traditional mountaineering slideshow and turns it on its head.If you only ever see one mountaineering lecture in your life then make sure this is the one!"

As usual I'll be talking about the things I've up to this year in 'A chocolate river runs through it', which revolves around climbing in the alps, Norway, America and is tied together with a very strange tale involving dwarfs, a million gallons of chocolate and Johnny Depp.

Plus this year I'm visiting some new places such as South Wales where I'll be talking about Patagonia.

Kick off for all events - arrive 7.15pm for 7.30pm start. Tickets £5.50 from www.planetfear.com or £6 on the door

Discuss this story

I saw him at the Theatr Gwynedd in Bangor last week, and he was fantastic. Very funny guy, with loads to say, and loads of experience. He's got some pretty decent photo's too.

The lecture itself was quite a strange mish-mash of his three trips to Patagonia, with all his story's being told in a very random order. It was kind of hard to follow, but worked very well. It made sure that the audience weren't bored at any point... well I certainly wasn't.

If he is talking at a venue near you, then I would definately receommend that you go to watch his lecture. Definately worth the money!
