The well-known author and film maker Matt Dickinson will be in school on Monday 27 October giving a talk to S1, S2 and S3 pupils.

Matt Dickinson became the first British film-maker to film on the summit of Everest and return alive.  In 1996, Dickinson made a successful ascent of Mount Everest’s notorious North Face with Alan Hinkes, beating hurricane force winds and temperatures of minus 70 degrees Celsius. His film Summit Fever has been seen by more than twenty million people worldwide. He also wrote the  book ‘The Death Zone’ about the same expedition. Recently Matt has started writing fiction for teenage readers. His latest novel “The Everest Files” is an adventure story set on Everest.
