The Outdoors Show 2010

by 0

Outdoor-show499The annual event will once again turn Birmingham’s NEC into an interesting place for people with a passion for hiking and biking, walking and climbing and… other stuff.

The “World’s Greatest Living Explorer” Sir Ranulph Fiennes OBE, returns to the show after completing his gruelling climb to the summit of Mount Everest to share his experiences as a guest speaker. Also appearing will be two-time Olympic Rowing Gold Medallist James Cracknell, Britain’s top female climber Lucy Creamer, TV Presenters Simon King and Kate Humble and adventurer Ben “Fay-tastic” Fogle.

New for 2010 is the introduction of TriLive, the only UK triathlon show north of London. The area will play host to exhibitors and experts from the sport and provides the perfect opportunity for visitors to learn how to get involved in the world of triathlon.

Back by popular demand is the spectacular SkyMasters competition showcasing elite climbers as they race head-to-head on a floating overhanging course set in the rafters of the NEC. The Ice Climbing wall returns and for those with a real head for heights, the Outdoors Show has also introduced the Big Air Abseiling “attraction”.

I have been a writer for nigh on 20 years, a photographer for 25 years and a mountain biker for 30 years. I have written countless magazine and website features and route guides for the UK mountain bike press, most notably for the esteemed and highly regarded Singletrackworld. Although I am a Lancastrian, I freely admit that West Yorkshire is my favourite place to ride. Rarely a week goes by without me riding and exploring the South Pennines.
