I really hope that my kids find their way to making some sort of adventure for themselves

I saw Frozen Road a few weeks ago.. the resilience to keep filming all those beautiful shots was awe inspiring.

If you liked that you may also like this - slightly different but beautifully crafted film.

Bump for the evening crowd, great video, thanks for sharing. Reminded me in parts of the docu drama "into to wild" how he sought solitude but in the end wanted to share it with someone.

With films like this I am always in the mind of if its really that hard how is he managing to film the adventure if its so close to the edge, I,ve been out and thought sod this I am to close to the unbearable I,m even not getting out the camera to take a pic.

It is a good film but a bit dramatic as he knows what he is letting himself in for!

You lot should spend more time on the website 😉 I interviewed Ben a couple of weeks ago. A really interesting and honest person to talk to. The video is here (yes, there is a website!)  https://singletrackmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/video-the-frozen-road-around-the-world-ben-page/

Having seen the video I’m glad that I’m 52 and have responsibilities!

Sent from the warmth of my front room in t shirt and shorts.

Watched this last night at the Banff Film Festival tour in Yarm. Great night and some other brilliant films, "Stumped" about a one handed climber is well worth a watch too

I enjoyed that a lot, much better than most examples of the genre - but also share Rich's nagging doubts. I've been in a dodgy situation once or twice, and the last thing on my mind was getting out cameras! I also once had wolves howling round my tent, and was more interested in locating my ice axe than firing up the recording equipment...but a good watch none-the-less, and I thought he captured something of the highs and lows that go with solitude in wild places.
