For my birthday - coming soon - I've bought myself a very geeky present.
It's a postcard (quite an expensive, historical one).
It's a real 'Annapurna South Face Expedition' Postcard - Nepali stamp, postmarked 12.10.70.
Signed by (from the top) Chris Bonington, Kelvin Kent, Nick Estcourt, Tom Frost, Martin Boysen, Mick Burke, Don Whillans, Dougal Haston, Dave Lambert & Mike Thompson!
Not signed by Ian Clough as he was killed on this expedition. Of the 10 signators, 3 were killed in the mountains and Don Whillans died due to 'hard living'.
