mkduffield Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 This Thursday night at 7:00 join Newbury Kayak and Canoe for Movie Night, to watch an epic adventure as Justine Curgenven and Sarah Outen battle the Bering Sea. Kayaking the Aleutians, on the New Big Screen, with the New Reliable Projector (really!!!). The movie and the popcorn are free! newburykayak@gmail.com with questions. Thursday February 23rd at 7:00. From Cackle TV: No-one has succeeded in kayaking the length of the remote and stormy Aleutian Islands which stretch from Russia to Alaska. Explorers Justine Curgenven and Sarah Outen set out to paddle 2,500km along the archipelago to the nearest road confronting more than 20 long crossings which separate the tiny unpopulated islands. Sarah faces an even more formidable challenge as this is part of her round-the-world human powered journey and she has limited kayaking experience. Alone for 101 days in one of the windiest, roughest places on earth, these two women are swept away from land by unknown currents, pounded by rough seas and approached by bears. Experiencing an edge-of-your-seat journey, they gain a rare insight into themselves, the rich wildlife and the lives of the few people who live in this harsh yet beautiful landscape. “In the summer of 2014, Justine Curgenven and Sarah Outen traversed the Aleutian Islands, completing what was, in my mind, perhaps the greatest, as yet undone, technical sea kayak expedition in the world. The film is spectacular, full of high adventure, a touching friendship, and some of the most magnificent scenery on earth”. - Jon Turk This film has won 8 international awards: Grand Prize at Graz Mountain Film Festival Best Spirit of Adventure Film at Sheffield Mountain Film Festival, U.K. Best Spirit of Adventure Film at L’Ecrans D’Aventure, Dijon, France Best Film at the Kayak Film Festival, Germany Best Kayaking film at the Llanberis Mountain Film Festival, U.K. Best Kayaking film at the Reel Paddling Film Festival, Canada Best Sea kayaking film at the Waterwalker Festival Best Adventure film at the Waterwalker Festival 2nd in People’s Choice, Kendal Mountain Film Festival, U.K. & at SHAFF, UK Finalist at Banff & Vancouver Mountain Film Festivals Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
