Tom's talk on ski touring

Lakeland XC Club member and experienced ski tourer Tom Higgs will be doing an illustrated talk on Saturday 12 December with the title:  
Ski Touring and other experiences - don't be misled!


The talk takes place at Natland Village Hall, south of Kendal, at 7.30pm, and will last approximately two hours. Refreshments and cakes will be available at a small cost.

This promises to be an entertaining talk drawing on Tom's experiences of leading ski tours in Norway and further afield. A must for anyone interested in hut-to-hut touring.

Places for the talk are limited, so to guarantee a place and avoid disappointment, just leave a message on the home page message board giving your name and the number of people interested.
