Words by the Water
Festival Finale: Sir Chris Bonington in Conversation with Marie Elsa Bragg
Sunday 15 March | 4:30pmWords by the Water are honoured and proud to welcome Sir Chris Bonington to our festival this year. He will be in conversation with longtime friend Marie Elsa Bragg, talking about his years in the Lake District and of a lifetime amongst the mountains of the world. Chris will talk about his book Everest The Hard Way and the significance of the 50th anniversary of the 1975 South-West face climb, which saw Britons on the summit of Everest after a 50 year struggle following the first expeditions in the 1920s. Chris talks openly, honestly and personally about his experiences. This is a talk not to be missed.
