Guest Speaker:
Alongside the collection of films will be a talk from Leo Houlding, one of Britain's top climbers. Pushing the limits of exploratory adventure by taking the ultimate in extreme sports to the most extreme environments, Leo is still planning epic adventures to the most remote corners of Earth - from the frozen mountains of Antarctica to the sweltering jungles of South America.
As a special addition to the Kendal Mountain Tour programme in Barrow this year, Leo’s film Two Point Four will be featured during the event, offering a unique glimpse into his extraordinary family adventures.
