    The adventurer will speak at the University on Monday 15 October, 6-7.30pm in a public lecture titled ‘Looking Death in the Eye’.

    Bradford born Haroon Rashid, Hon Ambassador Gilgit Baltistan UK and Europe, said: “It is a great privilege to welcome Nazir Sabir, a world class Mountaineer, to our great City of Bradford. We have some spectacular scenery within a few miles from our city centre, we have a great trekking and climbing community in Bradford and I’m sure it will be a thoroughly enjoyable evening listening to Nazir speak on his expeditions.”

    Nazir said: “I have accepted the invitation made by the Haroon Rashid as part of my World Tour. I have heard of Bradford's outstanding beauty and am looking forward to my visit to Bradford and the surrounding area.
