I’ll also hopefully have an internet connection on the Saturday and I’ll be able to take pre-orders from anyone who wants to take advantage of the extra 25% to charity which we’re offering this weekend (or you can order from this site).

Ron will be giving a presentation on Andy’s life and times from 7:30 on the Saturday in the Ben Nevis Inn. See you all there,

Peter

(sorry I will not be able to make it up in time for tonight’s Ice Factor gathering)

We would like to apologize for this, and assure everyone that we will have a second printing delivered to us on or before the 27th October. We will make the book available to pre-order over the Wet West Paddle Fest weekend at an increased profit for the charitable aim, the Andy Jackson Fund for Access and the IcFEM. All of the royalties from this book go to these charities, but for the weekend an additional 25% of the cover price will be donated.
