Boat Talks – More than Just Mountains with Cameron McNeish & James Lamb

A chance encounter between James Lamb from Dunkeld and Tashi Lama, a Buddhist monk from Tengboche monastery that coincided with a massive avalanche at Everest Base Camp changed both their lives and led to an enduring partnership and, following the devastating earthquakes that hit Nepal in 2015, the establishment of The Little Sherpa Foundation. The Foundation is focused on supporting the Sherpa communities living in the Solu Khumbu area and funds the rebuilding of clinics, schools and infrastructure and the provision of grants and bursaries.
This evening will include illustrated Talks focussed on the mountains and Sherpa communities living in this part of Nepal by Cameron McNeish and James Lamb along with a film “Sherpa Speak” made by BAFTA award winning film makers Richard Else and Meg Wicks. There will also be a raffle and items for sale, including signed prints by James Hawkins.
Cameron McNeish is the well known walker, mountaineer, author and broadcaster. He is also a trustee of the Foundation. James Lamb is a walker and trekker who was in the Solu Khumbu when the Everest avalanche struck and established the Little Sherpa Foundation. Richard Else and Meg Wicks are film makers best known for their work on the BBC Adventure show.
This is sure to be a great evening with dramatic mountains, fascinating cultures and communities and inspiring activities and all in support of a wonderful, local Foundation.
