In summer 2011 Ken accomplished his lifelong ambition to walk the arduous and challenging Pyrenees; practicing no-trace camping with ultra-light equipment. We are privileged to have Ken at our club to talk about this personal quest.

He is an accomplished photographer with a reputation for being attentive and responsive in his approach to photographing landscape and light in the mountains. His brand “Touching the Light” is an apt description of Ken’s work.

There will be a charge of £5 on the evening, tea, coffee and biscuits are available in the interval.
