Buxton Adventure Festival this weekend

October 31, 2013

The second Buxton Adventure Festival kicks off this weekend at the Pavilion Arts Centre, Buxton Opera House in the Peak District.

Among the many speakers coming from all over the UK and further afield are folk like ultra runners Jez Bragg and Heather Dawe (whose book we’re reviewing soon) and Britain’s Olympic mountain bike star, Annie Last.

Annie’s talk kicks off at 8pm at the Opera House and will be followed by the Coastal Crew’s two new videos: Not Bad and Arrival. Worth a visit – and if you’re going, we will see you there!

Mr. Chipps Chippendale

Singletrackworld's ex-Editor At Large

With 25 years as Editor of Singletrack World Magazine, Chipps holds the record for the longest-running mountain bike magazine editor in the world. He started in the bike trade in 1990 and became a full time mountain bike journalist at the start of 1994. Chipps stepped down as Editor in April 2026 after 25 years at the helm. He's now wondering what to do next, while riding his bike in the French Pyrenees, where he also runs some gites.
