Event Details
Join us on a wintery evening and enjoy a fantastic dinner and a selection of amazing films from Kendal Mountain Festival! The National Trust and Kendal Mountain Tour have joined forces to create a bespoke evening just for you.
The night will be hosted Kendal Mountain Presenter Emily Davis who will guide you through the films and give you personal insights into the explorers, adventurers and storytellers they feature.
This evening's films have been carefully chosen from the 2021 Kendal Mountain Festival, and are themed around running and hiking.
The Process
Tom Randall is a world-class crack climber. He is also a terrible runner, which is why his latest challenge seems like an odd choice. He decided to link up two of the Lake District's biggest and toughest endurance challenges, the Bob Graham Round and The Classic Rock challenge into one hellish 24-hour mad dash. A funny, honest, genuine and heartfelt story.

The Longest Line
A 71km line across the Cairngorms, no trail, no roads, no power lines. The longest line is the furthest you can travel without crossing a manmade road or structure in the UK. People have tried and failed. Follow Jenny Graham and Calum Maclean on one of the few remaining pioneering expeditions in the UK.
