Square eyes in Kendal
Since first thing on Monday morning I’ve been locked away in a room in Kendal watching films. So far we’ve seen 81 DVD’s. Being a judge at the Kendal Mountain Film Fest does have its compensations but I must admit that if I see another BASE jumping film or downhill ski film I’m going to scream. On the positive side we’ve watched some really marvellous movies and I hope that when we sit down later today to choose the winners we can agree amongst ourselves. There will doubtlessly be some worthy winners.
I believe there are still some tickets available for our AV presentation on The Sutherland Trail on Saturday evening at Kendal Town Hall. Richard Else and I will be there previewing our forthcoming television programme so it would be great to see some of there. The whole Festival looks as though it will be tremendous and I’m certainly looking forward to what is commonly referred to now as the Tribal Gathering of the UK’s outdoor community. See you Saturday!

I was punch drunk after 2 1/2 days, don’t know how you managed 80 movies. I focused on the talks/lectures this year. I was sorry to have missed yours, but already had a ticket for Reinhold Messner’s. Re. your base jumping comment, I wonder sometimes if the mountains are seen as a venue for stunts thesedays?
