Doug Scott & Chris Bonnington at Rheged

We were fortunate enough to attend a great event at Rheged near Penrith this evening. Organised by the Wainwright Society, this unique ocassion was a "chat show" with the famous climbers Doug Scott and Chris Bonnington. In front of a packed house they recalled there climbing backgrounds and adventures.

This was a one off event to raise money for the rescue services involved in the recent floods in Cumbria, over £4,000 was raised during the evening.
Here are just a couple of photos from the event.
