An Evening with Sir Chris Bonington ~ 12th November

An interesting evening with Sir Chris Bonington at the Rheged Centre

CANCELLED

 “We have had to take the hard decision that the Evening with Sir Chris Bonington on Friday, 12th November at Rheged has been cancelled and at the moment there is no alternative date. Over the last few months Chris has had some health issues including major hip surgery in September. His recovery from this is taking much longer than envisaged and he feels unable to do on stage events and talks in the coming months. This hasn’t been an easy decision for Chris and John as both have risen to many Mountaineering challenges over the years. As the Friends of Calvert Trust, Lake District we respect this decision as it is important that Chris has the time to recover.”
