KMF opens this weekend and tickets for the Petzl Underground Session on Friday night at the Town Hall are selling well.

Great to see caving is represented at KMF this year with two screening of Paul Diffley's film, Ario Dream, Friday night's Petzl Underground Session and Mark Burkey's winning photo - got to be good for spreading the word about our wonderful sport with fellow outdoor enthusiasts

Well done mark - great shot

Yeah, I suppose Mark's doing OKish with his snapshots. Amazing what you can capture with a Box Brownie, a bit of luck and the promise of cake if he's been a good boy and taken a nice piccie.
Well done Mark, and well deserved.

Thanks all.

Was nice win something on the judged competition but to get the peoples choice, same as with the delegate ballot at Hidden earth, is fantastic! Especially with the huge amount of non cavers in attendance.

Would be nice to think a couple of people may be tempted underground who wouldn't otherwise have given it a go after attending Kendal [emoji106]
