Kendal Mountain Festival: The Film Edit - Pedal & Paddle Collection

Join us for an evening of paddling and pedalling, from stunning valleys to remote peaks. 

Rods, Rolls and Reality on the Soca 

Swapping paddles for rods, this crew of kayakers attempt to put the hook in the right spot. Under the emerald waters of Slovenia's Soča River hides an endemic trout, creating both a classroom and a playground for misadventure.

Sew Many Miles 

One bicycle, a sewing machine and an obscure idea. This is a film following Benjamin Davies cycling the length of the United Kingdom with a sewing machine. Making bikepacking bags for people all across the UK, it’s a story of meeting passionate cyclists and traversing local landscapes in unconventional ways. 

Riding the Rails 
Using a bicycle modified to ride on abandoned train tracks, pro mountain bike rider Alex McAndrew and his wife Ella head out into the unknown in search of remote fishing, camping, biking, and adventure.

Cycling Without Age 

There is something about riding a bike that makes you feel like a kid again. All too often, we lose touch with that magic as we get older. Through the stories of pedal-powered rickshaw pilots and their elder passengers, Cycling Without Age explores the importance of feeling the wind in your hair at all stages of life's journey.

Above Sinai 

Follow along as we meet Sarah Sadek, Egyptian native and professional kiteboarder, at her home on the Sinai peninsula. In a world where women are not often found in athletic roles, nor in the water, Sarah shows us how she is opening the eyes of her local community and pushing the boundaries in a gracious yet badass way (and yes, the two go hand in hand!). Growing up in Cairo, kiteboarding was never on the forefront of Sarah’s mind. That is, until she started visiting the small town of Dahab’s beautiful blue lagoons and began watching the boys in this exciting new sport called kiteboarding. Now, she lives here, amongst the Bedouin tribes that are not accustomed to seeing women in these roles nor in the water.

Family Routes
Leanne Robinson and Dwayne Wohlgemuth embarked on a summer-long canoe trip across the Northwest Territories with their two sons: four-year-old Emile, and one-year-old Aleksi. Together they face the challenges of living off the land and criticism back home.
