Rob Caskie - Going South with Scott and Shackleton
Join renowned master story teller Rob Caskie for an evening sharing the stories of two Polar greats - Scott and Shackleton.
This presentation initially takes the audience to the South Pole with Scott's party of five in January 1912, and the tragic deaths of all the men en route 'home'. Did they die psychologically when they found Amundsen had beaten them to the Pole by 34 days?
Scott's Antarctic rival, Ernest Shackleton is then discussed in detail - his ship crushed by ice, and 28 men living on the ice for 16 months before their extraordinary leader sails 1,200km across the Southern Ocean to get help from South Georgia.
Epics of human struggle and triumphs of the human spirit.
All proceeds will go to the Midland Air Ambulance Charity.
