Despite
having two artificial legs following a railway accident, Norman Croucher
decided to seek adventure in the mountains, and he certainly found it.
Now, whether you want an amusing lunchtime or evening entertainment
or an outstanding motivational talk at a conference, you can share in
his experiences.
Alongside people such as round-the-world yachtsman Chay Blyth and the World Motor Racing Champion Jackie Stewart, Norman was chosen as a "Man of the Year" in 1971, and again in 1978, with Jimmy Savile and Brendan Foster. In 1989, with Falklands veteran Simon Weston, he received a special "Men of the Years" award for continued achievement in celebration of the thirtieth anniversary of the scheme. In 1976 he was the subject of a "This Is Your Life" programme. Because of his voluntary work for disabled people he was made as O.B.E. in 1977; he values highly his close connections with two adventure centres for disabled people, of which he is Trustee, and he was the first disabled person to be appointed to the Sports Council. In 1979 he was chosen from nominees from 121 countries as one of only three people in the world to receive an "International Award for Valour in Sport" that year. Chris Bonnington wrote of him "There is no one like him, his extraordinary achievements have earned him a place in climbing history." |
