It's that grey time between summer and the great snows - ahem...
Remember them?
Still, if you're bored, you can always drag out your diary and
note down a few dates, cos the world's gone mountain film festival
mad with events in Kendal, Dundee and Fort William coming up as well
as an 'altitude' film season in Edinburgh.
Anyhow, here are the relevant dates and the links you need to work
out what's going on:
