“Kayaking the Aleutians” picked up it’s 5th award last weekend at the French Adventure film festival LES ÉCRANS DE L’AVENTURE.

It won the Jean-Marc Boivin Prize, which is the price for the authenticity of the adventure.

The organisers sent me an email saying

“Congratulations!!! We are very happy for you. Your adventure has been very appreciated and also the film !”

“Kayaking the Aleutians” winning a prize in France

Unfortunately I couldn’t attend the festival this time as I had a wonderful time there 2 years ago with my ‘Tierra del Fuego” film. Instead I was at the Irish Sea kayaking Symposium, which was another great event.

I am giving a few more presentations of the Aleutians film in the next few weeks so you might get a chance to see the film or hear me talk about it if you are nearby.

Sunday 25th October:  St Helier Yacht Club, Jersey, Channel Islands.  £5 on the door.

Wednesday 28th October: World Extreme Medicine Expo, London. I’m presenting the Aleutians film to the delegates.

(Other speakers include Sir Ranulph Fiennes , Jon Snow and various medical experts)

Sunday 1st November:  The Doodle Bar, Battersea, London. I’m presenting the Aleutians film and taking questions.

Sunday 2/3rd Nov: I’ll be joining Sarah Outen to paddle back to Tower Bridge, London to end her ‘Round the world human-powered loop’. Paddlers are invited to join Sarah on the Thames. See her website for details.

7th/ 8th November: “Kayaking the Aleutians” is a finalist at Banff Mountain Film Festival, Canada
