Following on from the growing success of the Llamff mountain festival in North Wales comes the increasingly popular Keswick Mountain Festival which takes place on the 19th-23rd of May. Despite it's description as a 'mountain' festival. the KMF offers a host of outdoor activities which include everything from wild swimming and kayaking to mountain biking.
The impressive cast list of speakers includes Leo Holding, Doug Scott, Dave Birkett....fell running legend Joss Naylor, adventurous toff, Ranulph Twistleton Fiennes and award winning climbing writer Andy Cave.
A great thing about the KMF is it's 'hand's on' approach. This isn't one of those dry gatherings where earnest bearded rugged outdoor types sit in darkened rooms listening to a minor climbing celebrity rambling on about his latest trip to outer Mongolia,illustrated of course with 10.000 grainy slides! The emphasis is on the great outdoors and the organisers really do seem to have structured a great package of activities from scrambling with Leo Holding on Cam Ridge to paddling down Borrowdale to Derwentwater. Mountain Biking in the local forests to climbing tuition.
The festival's interactive website offers a complete itinerary of speakers and activities so check it out pronto! The Keswick Mountain Festival
