Kendal Mountain Tour – bringing the mountains to a town near you

Maybe you didn’t make the main Kendal Mountain Festival event in…er… Kendal? Fear not! Kendal is coming to you. The concept is simple. Take the spirit and essence of Kendal Mountain Festival, and put it on tour. The result? Fun, great speakers, carefully curated films, bags of inspiration… and yet more fun.

We can’t wait to take Kendal Mountain Festival out on tour again. With such entertaining speakers, including some big names, our audiences are in for a treat. It’ll be buzzing. And with each event featuring giveaways and prize draws, it’s not just inspiration that people will be carrying home!

Festival Director, Steve Scott

We hope to encourage viewers to take this approach on their next adventure.

I came to Singletrack having decided there must be more to life than meetings. I like all bikes, but especially unusual ones. More than bikes, I like what bikes do. I think that they link people and places; that cycling creates a connection between us and our environment; bikes create communities; deliver freedom; bring joy; and improve fitness. They're environmentally friendly and create friendly environments. I try to write about all these things in the hope that others might discover the joy of bikes too.
