UPCOMING EVENTS
An Evening with Debbie Martin-Consani
Join us and our friends from Montane at Zeffirellis in Ambleside for an inspirational talk from ultra-runner Debbie Martin-Consani
Debbie has represented Scotland and Great Britain in 100K and 24-hour races.
In 2013 Debbie placed 2nd in the Montane Lakeland 100 race (ML100) taking 2.5 hours off the previous women’s record, but only coming in second. She rectified it a year later by winning the 2014 ML100 and followed up in 2015 by placing 2nd in the shorter, and perhaps harder, Montane Lakeland 50.
Debbie’s’ race results speak for themselves. She's an incredible athlete and all the while working a full-time job and raising a family. UltraRunDMC as she's affectionately known, will always be an inspiration.
- Start Time: 8:00pm
- Tickets: £7.50 all proceeds going to Ambleside and Langdale Mountain Rescue.
An Evening with Jesse Dufton
Join us and our friends from Montane at the Cafe Caban in Brynrefail for an inspirational talk from trad climber and Paralympian Jesse Dufton.
Jesse is a climber, best known for his trad climbing. Despite being born severely sight impaired, his parents saw no reason to let this get in his way and climbing became a large part of his childhood. As soon as he could walk his dad took him climbing and taught him how to lead trad in Cornwall, this in-between many family trips to Fontainbleau, instilled a life-long passion for the sport. As he lost the little sight he was born with, he never considered giving up his passion and instead set about adapting how to climb without the use of his eyes.
Since then, Jesse has continued to push his limits and gained recognition when he became the first blind person to lead climb the Old Man of Hoy, which was recognised as an official Guinness World record and is the focus of the multi-award-winning documentary Climbing Blind. However, this is but one of the many hard trad routes he has to his name leading these "non-sight". As well as his trad pedigree, he also has first ascents in Arctic Greenland completed in alpine style in winter conditions. He is also a competition climber, representing the GB Paraclimbing team and winning medals in multiple international competitions.
- Location: Cafe Caban, Brynrefail, Llanberis, LL55 3NR
- Start Time: 7:30pm
- Tickets: £7.50 all proceeds going to Llanberis Mountain Rescue.
