A Buy One Get One Free Offer

With every purchase of Lure of The Mountains we are giving away a copy of  The Uncrowned King of Mont Blanc, signed by the author. All for £8 including postage.

The fascinating and historic biography of Bentley Beetham, official photographer of the 1924 Everest expedition and prolific lakeland new router.

Brand new condition, hardback. The book contains a large number of rare photographs, many never published before and some thought lost prior to the book being worked on.

Lure of the Mountains is the only published biography of accomplished photographer, ornithologist, teacher and 1924 Everest expedition member Bentley Beetham (1886–1963).

Written by the late Michael D. Lowes, a pupil of Beetham’s at Barnard Castle School in County Durham, and with a foreword by Graham Ratcliffe MBE, the first Briton to have summited Everest from both the North and South sides, and also a pupil of Barnard Castle School, Lure of the Mountains charts Beetham’s life from childhood in Darlington, to rock climbing in the Lake District and selection by the Mount Everest Committee as a member of the infamous and ill-fated 1924 Everest Expedition on which George Mallory and Sandy Irvine disappeared high on the mountain.
