An audience with...
MICK FOWLER
For half a century, Mick Fowler has juggled pioneering first ascents and remote mountaineering expeditions with family life, a demanding office job – and even a life-changing cancer diagnosis. ​
​
Join us to hear his inspiring story.
​
Mick will be talking at Outside Cafe on Wednesday 20th May in the evening, and will be a fundraiser for local hospital charity Weston Park, who treated Mick during his illness.
Tickets available through the main Congress registration.
Outdoor Activities
We'll be offering a selection of guided group outdoor activities throughout the week.​
​
These paid activities can be booked during registration and are open to delegates and any accompanying guests you may be travelling with.
​
Hathersage and the wider Peak District offer outstanding opportunities for outdoor adventure and is a true haven for outdoor enthusiasts. If you are visiting from outside the area, we encourage you to allow yourself some time to explore and enjoy the landscape during your stay.
​
We've worked in partnership with PureOutdoor to put on these activities but you are of course, also welcome to make your own arrangements.
