THE spirit of adventure will be conjured up on celluloid next week when one of the country's most prestigious mountain festivals gets underway.
In a programme packed as tight as a mountaineer's rucksack the Kendal Mountain Film Festival presents an impressive array of films, lectures and seminars over a long weekend.
The festival runs from November 14 to 17 with the film programme kicking off at Rheged, near Penrith, tomorrow, November 9.
Attracting both fans of the silver screen and snowy ravine, the festival brings together big names in mountaineering and a selection of top international climbing films featuring Everest, Alaska and the UK premiere of Kilimanjaro - To the Roof of Africa.
Although the event will be held across several venues Kendal's Brewery Arts Centre will act as base camp for the weekend and host an awards ceremony on Sunday afternoon.
