Despite the torrential rain and floods in Cumbria, Kendal Mountain Festival 2009 was a big success.

We will have a report later this week but first the winners of the two competitions, books and films, including a video of John Innerdale announcing The GRAND PRIZE featuring Sir Chris Bonington and Lord Andy Kirkpatrick.

In reply to UKC News:

Really pleased that Alone on the wall got some awards, really inspired me but I thought it would be overlooked for The Asgard project which was also very entertaining.

In reply to UKC News: What were the nominations?

In reply to Tom_Harding:

60 films, all here on the Kendal site - http://www.mountainfest.co.uk/home.cfm?page=33

Lord Andy Kp?

In reply to UKC News: anyone know how to get hold of Alone on the wall? I can't find this anywhere...if I search for the "first ascent series" I get a link to a 2006 film trailer...the last series perhaps??

In reply to andybenham: Sender Films produced a film called First Ascent a few years ago. The 'Alone on the wall" film is actually an episode of a TV series they are producing for the Nat Geo Adventure channel also called First Ascent which is airing on TV next year some time. So no way of watching it yet . There are a few trailers about online for the series though and it looks ace. http://www.facebook.com/pages/SENDER-FILMS/21714708076?ref=ts
