Exhibitions
and forthcoming lectures
Instead
of making faceless decisions we encourage you to meet us in person to chat through
your aspirations to ensure you are selecting the right level of course or expedition,
at the best time of year. Each year we have a stand at all the largest outdoor
shows, and a the majority of these we give talks in the main lecture theatres.

| | Adventure
Travel Show, Olympia, January
This
is the showcase event for adventure travel, and we regularly give talks in the
main theatre. LECTURE: this year Sarah talked about climbing and trekking
at high altitude, as we are really experienced in operating at extreme altitude.
The focus of the talks was on how to prevent AMS, HACE, & HAPE, the three
key stages of accute mountain sickness. The talk was based around the popular
peaks of Mont Blanc, Aconcagua and Kilimanjaro.
| | Manchester
& Birmingham Ski Shows, Oct / Nov
These
two northern ski shows have inside ski jumping and presentations, so there is
lots to see and do. Also these shows have a lot of retailers, for those looking
for a deal. LECTURE: the talk that we gave at each of these shows was about
ski touring the infamous Haute Route, that stretches from Chamonix to Zermatt
over six days.
| | The
Outdoors Show, NEC Birmingham, March
By
far the largest outdoors show in the country, this is the key show for all those
looking at climbing, trekking, or ski mountaineering courses each year. LECTURE:
this year, Kingsley from our Chamonix office is talking about climbing the three
Alpine Giants; Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn and the Eiger. The focus is on preparing
for these climbs, and the level of previous experience required for each of these
mountains.
| | London
Ski & Snowboard Show, Olympia, October
This
event is the biggest ski show in the country each year, and it spans five days
from Wednesday to Sunday. LECTURE: at our stand we gave regular scheduled
lectures about glacier skiing and crevasse rescue, with specific reference to
avalanche awareness. These talks were really well attended, and were aimed at
off piste skiers.
| | Destinations
Travel Show, Earls Court, February
The
Destinations Travel Show is the largest holiday show in Earls Court each year,
and it sees exhibitors from all over the world. LECTURE: at our stand we
gave audiovisual presentations about climbing Mont Blanc, Kilimanjaro and Aconcagua.
Each talk was given on every day of the show, and lasted about 30 minutes.
