Dundee Mountain Film Festival This Weekend

Just a quick reminder for OUTDOORSmagic members of a Scottish persuasion, that this weekend - 25-27 November - is the Dundee Mountain Film Festival.

Let's face it, with arctic winds sweeping in across the hills and dumping gawd knows what on ya, the prospect of a weekend watching a mix of mountain movies and personal appearances by some of the world's leading climbers is even more attractive.

Highlights include merican Dave Hahn, five times Everest summiteer, and Mallory and Irvine investigator, updating Scotland with the latest information on the ost-on-Everest heroes, fresh from his latest expedition to the mountain this year.

Closer to home, Britain's Mick Fowler, past-winner of mountaineering's coveted Piolet d'Or award for his ascent of the north face of Siguniang, presents his exploration of new routes on the high peaks from around the world, in conditions ranging from Scottish winter to sun-baked rock and the high Himalaya.

You can also catch US-based Brit' Kevin Thaw talking about his recent trips and internationally-acclaimed British photographer and writer Ian Evans presents his finest work - from the Himalayas through to Scotland.

Loads more too, with the pick of the The Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour, and a selection of action films submitted by private producers. A special feature is a documentary about the life of the Antarctic explorer Tom Crean, whose heroic exploits featured in the recent TV series on Shackleton. Tom served for over two years on the RRS Discovery, a great link with the City of Dundee.

Tickets available at the door unless the session is sold out.
