Ease your way into an extended weekend with our pick of online streaming films for a Friday afternoon.

We ran this earlier in the week, but it's worth a second look. It's a nice little trail-running video called Why I Run from the guys at Cotswold Outdoor. Don't be put off by the retailer thing, it's not really a sales pitch and there's some really nice footage, we like ...  Continue reading

No, not trail running in the Cotswolds, though of course there's no reason why you shouldn't go running there, this is Why I Run, a nice little video made by Cotswold Outdoor featuring a couple of their staffers and filmed in Snowdonia.

Streaming online video fest to take the edge off the manky Mordor-like weather...

Skim en invierno

Atmospheric footage of Andy Kirkpatrick's attempt to make the second ascent of a route on the north face of the Eiger.

A sort of double Andy Kirkpatrick day then with this atmospheric, lunchtime-friendly short video of his attempt, with Ross Kain and Neil Chelton on the dauntingly direct 2006 Russian route on the Eiger Nordwand. They climbed some 20 pitches in four days until being halted by the crux A5 pitch and ...  Continue reading
