CLIMBING DAYS WITH DAN RICHARDS

The Margate Bookshop

Writer Dan Richards pays his respects to the intrepid life of pioneering mountaineer Dorothy Pilley and the new edition of her 1935 memoir

Tom Thumb Theatre

<p>A long-lost classic of 1920s mountaineering literature; Dorothy Pilley's memoir Climbing Days charts her many adventures and achievements in a sport that was, at the time, seen as the province of men.<br><br>Celebrating a revamped new edition of the book, Dorothy's great-great-nephew, writer Dan Richards, salutes Dorothy's life and legacy, from her daredevil climbs to the ways she energised and enabled her fellow women climbers. Dan will be chatting to Katherine May (Wintering, Enchantment) about storytelling, heroism, setbacks and obsession; as they ask each other what it takes to go out and face the world, and what it means to be 'ardently alive'.</p>
