Unclimbed peaks, TV personalities and crossing glacial rivers in their knickers. Join us for Tamsin Gay’s talk, ‘Undiscovered Arctic’, where she shares stories of guiding Steve Backshall and Aldo Kane in Jameson land in remote Eastern Greenland over two weeks for the filming of an episode of the BBC Series ‘Undiscovered Worlds.’ What happens when a tv production crew and a newly formed team of mountain guides take on a serious and engaging mountaineering objective? Log-in for this behind-the-scenes peek of the melding of two totally different professions on a proper adventure.

Tamsin Gay is an IFMGA Mountain Guide but prefers to be known as an aunt (to two nieces she adores), a sister, a daughter, a loving friend, a socialist and lover of bright colours and funny stuff. Whether she is at work or not she can be found propelling herself through the mountains; enthusiastic whatever the conditions are. Her obsession with all aspects of mountaineering means that her combination of skills allow her to have adventures in mountain ranges all around the globe. Having fled France where she had planned to be based before the Covid-19 lockdown, she is currently based in Scotland near Edinburgh - on the farm where she spent her childhood. She is a great supporter of WAAC and has guided at both of our recent meets. We can’t wait to share adventures with her again soon!
