Not long until Kendal!
I hope to perhaps meet some of you at the Kendal Mountain Film Festival in a couple of weeks time. I’ll be there all week, from Sunday to Sunday, as one of the judges for the film competition but on Saturday November 22 Richard Else and I will be showing a preview of our Sutherland Trail BBC film at Kendal Town Hall, as part of the Festival.
We’ll be putting together an audio/visual presentation with several video clips from the film. Essentially the route runs from Lochinver to Tongue and in the course of the route we climbed Suilven, Foinaven and Ben Loyal, although there are a number of other hills close by that could be incorporated into the route.
I also spoke to cavers, geologists, crofters, fishermen and all kinds of folk who both live in Sutherland and who visit the area for recreation. As such I sea kayaked out to Handa Island with kayaking guru Brian Wilson, did a bit of caving at Inchnadamph and even rode some of the route by mountain bike.
The television programme will be broadcast round about Boxing Day and it will appear as a DVD shortly after, available from this website. Hope to see some of you at Kendal - always a bloody good festival.

And as Messner’s lecture is fully booked, and yours seems comparatively good value, we are looking forward to seeing you there, Cameron.

Cheers Martin, look forward to it. First time I’ve been in competition with Reinhold Messner!

Hi Cameron
There will be a beer for you at the bar at the Brewery Arts Centre as an apology for mucking you about re. 3 Peaks. Ask for a pint from James Keen.. a pint of Cumbrian Way? … seems appropriate. Looking forward to the festival too. A fabulous “tribal gathering”. My annual treat to myself.
