Yes despite the flooding risks and appalling weather over the weekend we had a great turn out for the announcement of this year's Homemade Mountain Movies Award winner.
All five films made by our finalists were shown on the big screen at the Brewery Arts Centre in Kendal before the winner was announced by world renowned mountaineer Alan Hinkes.
And after a very close contest our judges voted for Terry Abraham's (terrybnd) video Nirvana.
Our congratulations go to Terry who was also a finalist in last year's competition.
Next year he will head to north Africa for his Trail assignment up Toubkal - the region's highest mountain.
The overall quality of entries this year was fantastic and we'll definitely try and run a similar event next year.
We had a great panel of judges too - all of the following had one vote each...
Robin Aschcroft, Kendal Mountain Film Festival, formerly Rheged
Matt Heason, Sheffield Mountain Film Festival, also a Kendal Mountain Film Festival judge
