Perth talk will reveal scale of Nepal earthquake damage

Dramatic footage of the earthquake which devastated Nepal will be shown to a Perth audience to help them understand the full extent of the disaster.

When the first earthquake hit Nepal in April, James Lamb from Falkland was in the Himalayas filming for BBC’s The Adventure Show.

On Tuesday he will share that record of the catastrophic events during a talk he is giving for the Perth-based Royal Scottish Geographical Society.

Filming in Nepal continued when the camera crew and producer accompanied Mr Lamb back to Nepal later in the year to see first-hand how the people featured in the initial programme were rebuilding their lives, both physically and mentally.

Already heavily involved in assisting the people of Nepal, the disaster provided even more challenges for his charity.

His talk One Scotsman, One Monk, One Incredible Year is the latest in the RSGS Inspiring People series and takes place tomorrow at 7.30pm in the Salutation Hotel, Perth.

Mr Lamb will be discussing his love of photography along with stories from the time he has spent in Nepal supporting a charity which helps the children of Sherpas killed in climbing accidents, the Little Sherpa Foundation.

After nearly 30 years as an educationalist, Mr Lamb combined his love for outdoor adventure and photography to become a professional landscape photographer.

In 2014 he established a trekking agency in the Nepal Himalayas with Tashi Lama, a Buddhist monk. The agency aims to increase local employment, with the profits funding the Little Sherpa Foundation.

When he returned to Nepal Mr Lamb took with him donations of clothing and tents from local supporters which he said proved vital.

“I have no doubt without these donations people would have died,” he said.

Tickets for One Scotsman, One Monk, One Incredible Year are available at the door and are £8 or free to RSGS members/U18s and students. The talk is open to all.
