03-01-2025 Cairngorm Trip Dedicated to Sir Wally Herbert
As he explains below, Alan Stewart has decided to dedicate the upcoming Cairngorm Sleddog TV Trip to Sir Wally Herbert.
I personally met Wally a few times... once spent a day with him & his good friend Allan Gill here at my sleddog centre running the dogs. Both men crossed the top of the world in 1969 with sleddogs ..a trip which now could not be repeated.In my house hangs a wonderful painting he gave me, his team & sleddogs at the North Pole signed with a personal message..to me he was one of the most interesting people I had every met..simply not many like him around..I was glad my son John met him also..as one day he will tell his children Iam sure.."I met Wally Herbert..the man who took sleddogs from Alaska over the North Pole then on to nearly Norway!"
This Cairngorm Venture is dedicated to the memory of Sir Wally Herbert. www.sirwallyherbert.com
