Friday night and it's endurance night at the Kendal Mountain Film Festival. While it was great to hear about different adventure races in the likes of Kyrgyzstan, Greenland and also to discover the challenge of ski mountaineering races, for me the highlight of the evening was to see the film of the epic tri, made by Dave Macfarlane of Planetfear. This film shows the commitment, motivation, drive and sheer bloody-mindedness of two of the Uk's top adventure athletes, Bruce Duncan and Ant Emmett as the set about raising money for Cancer Research UK.

The pair were successful in completing the Bob Graham Round (65 miles, 42 peaks in under 24 hours), the JOGLE (John O'Groats to Lands End 874 mile tandem bike ride) and the Devizes to Westminster canoe race (125 Miles) all done consecutively (less transition times).
It's a privilege to know the guys, to have witnessed their efforts, to see Dave's work on producing the film and to be able to contribute to this important cause.
