Adventure Travel Film Festival

Getting quite excited about the Adventure Travel Film Festival next weekend. Is anyone else heading down to Devon for the event?

I'll be there from Thursday morning bumming around and helping out if I can. Can't wait to see the films on Friday and Saturday.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about watch the promo below and go buy tickets. It's organised by Austin & Lois so it'll be a big laugh if nothing else... so come on - who's already booked?

I had a long think about going, but decided it was probably a tad too expensive for me at present. I'm sure the ticket costs are probably about right for the cost of staging the event. But I wondered if there were possibly cheaper venues or formats for such an event that could have meant cheaper entry. After all, people who are enthusiastic about low-budget adventurous travel are often cheapskates.

Certainly once you factor in some petrol moullah if you're coming from afar, and obligatory food+ money (mostly the money), it's not a cheap weekend.


This post is not meant as an unconstructive criticism of the event or organisers. (incase somebody takes offense)

@palace15 - TT? oh now I'm jealous...!

@Nath - yes I know what you mean - it's certainly not cheap. It's a fair old way down there - in the end I came to the conclusion it's worth a punt because I like to see what other people are making and I love to watch the older films (not paying for food or the workshops though) - but also because I've got a longer run later in the year and this is a good opportunity to fine-tune the bike a bit before that... and the HUBB meet of course!

I'm sure Austin & Lois will take all feedback as it's intended and not take offence at all.

Travelling down

I'll be heading down from London on Wednesday night, staying with friends down Dartmoor way and then heading up first thing on Thursday to Bideford - if anyone else is around a little early let me know and I'll get the kettle on for your arrival!

By kettle I obviously mean .
