Jim Hargreaves |
|
| Jim
Hargreaves is a "canoeing living legend" and renowned raconteur. Tossing aside
the trappings of modern society, and wearing only a discarded Theakston's barrel, Jim 'Old
Peculiar' Hargreaves has spent the last ten years exploring the wilderness rivers of
Canada's Yukon and Northwest Territories. This
should be a vastly entertaining evening as Jim explores the history, folklore and wildlife
of the best of Canada's remotest and wild rivers including the Yukon, Nahanni and Mountain
. |

Alan
Ellard |
|
Alan is Britain's leading white water expedition kayaker, and a member
of the international team that made the first descent of the Great Bend of the Tsangpo in
2002 (the 'Everest' of rivers). Tonight
Alan shares his adventures over the last ten years - "We started as young, wild raft
guides working in the Himalayas, riding bus roofs, paddling by the seat of our pants, but
living a dream - making first descents of the Worlds great rivers - the Myhka in Burma,
the Chenab in Kashmir, and the Dibang in Arunachal Pradesh - somehow we survived!" . |

Fiona
Whitehead |
|
| Fiona
is best known as the first woman to successfully circumnavigate Britain and Ireland
single-handedly in a kayak. However her
enthusiasm has led her to try out many branches of the sport of canoeing and taken her to
Israel, Wales, Scotland, Spain, Ireland, Australia, Alaska, and North America. Fiona is a popular speaker and tonight she will
share her love for canoeing, her life in the outdoors, and her experiences on many
expeditions - in particular her circumnavigation of the British Isles. |
