About this event
Join us at The Partington Theatre Club Room as we wander well-trodden paths, pause at old inns and admire iconic landmarks on an adventure around the undulating, magical terrain of the Peak District… Celebrated travel writer Tom Chesshyre has penned Wild Peaks to mark the 75th anniversary of England’s first national park. In conversation with local hillwalker and ultrarunner Anna Paxton, Tom will transport listeners to the heart of the Peak District as he recounts his month-long tour of the area. Get your tickets online here or in person at Dark Peak Books. £20.00 including a signed copy of Wild Peaks or £5.00 general admission. Learn of his diverse meetings with a rich cast of landowners, farmers, historians, climbers, publicans, rangers, right-to-roamers, mountain rescue members, dreamers, fellow hikers – and not forgetting booksellers. Tom spends the first chapter here in Glossop, where he details visiting Dark Peak Books, staying at the Norfolk Arms and Windy Harbour and Chesshyre is the author of 12 travel books. He has previously contributed to The Times, Sporting Life, the Independent, Sky Sports, the Daily Telegraph, the Guardian, the Daily Mail and National Geographic.
