EVENT - 19 AUG: Mal Law - In My Father's Footsteps.
There are 282 ‘Munros’ (peaks over 3,000ft) in Scotland.
In 1972, at the age of 12, Mal Law climbed his first Munro with his dad, who went on to bag the lot, finishing them in 1976. For Mal this first summit was the start of a lifelong obsession with peak bagging and his own love affair with the Munros.
Earlier this year - 50 years on from his dad bagging all 282 Munros - Mal returned to the Highlands with 38 Munros left unticked on his list.
He had a short window of time in which to knock them off but marking the 50th anniversary of his late dad’s pioneering feat gave him extra determination to get the job done. (He did all 38 of them in just over a month!)
So, if you're a fan of a good old fashioned adventure story, come listen to Mal’s emotional account of how he set out to honour his dad’s memory and add yet another achievement to his long list of accomplishments.
Here are all the deets so you can come along and be inspired for your next adventure:
