please read the following. This would be a very relaxing way to spend some time with your family.

Dear Ian
Thanks so much for chatting just now. As mentioned, I wanted to make sure you’re across the Adventure Travel Film Festival will take place in Bright 14-16 February. Promising an extraordinary  and inspiring line-up of travel adventurers from Australia and around the wold, festival goers will be taken on jaw-dropping journeys across rugged mountains, treacherous seas, and barren terrain for mind-blowing adventures that are brought to life on the big screen. The Festival is for everyone who has ever known the elation of new cultures, people and places. It is for like-minded, travel-addicts of all backgrounds and those seeking inspiration for that next great expedition. This might just provide an interesting new angle for couples seeking adventure on their next holiday. This festival is proof anyone can create travel adventure, on the grandest scale or the smallest of budgets and on any means, be it on motorbike, sail boat or snowboard. Better still, it is set in the scenic surrounds of majestic  Bright, making it an even nicer weekend away with like-minded travel lovers. We’d be so grateful if you might post something about the festival online at any time, to help spread the word.
There full details of the program on the media release attached, but some of film highlights include:


-          -Four youngsters from New Zealand with no motorcycle experience and a borrowed camera, motorcycle from Cape Town to London. Ignoring the well-intended advice about Africa and its dangers, they leave jobs and families behind and set off on the adventure of a life time – crossing the length of the continent, on motorbikes most people wouldn’t ride to the cow shed.
-         
-          -Tom Allen, was an amateur cyclist that set off on the get-away-from-it-all trip of a lifetime when he falls in love in the most unexpected of circumstances. Young, naïve and consequently, oozing confidence he takes on a long distance cycling that sees him pedaling away over four years, giving his film a tremendous depth and sincerity.

-          -A Canadian paraglider pilot who  travels to Malawi to teach children the joys of kite flying, making an unlikely friendship with a young man who always dreamed of flying, and will become him the first paraglider pilot in the history Malawi, and building the country’s first motivational and paragliding school, The School of Dreams.

-          -An artist and amateur sailor, Nick Jaffe, who after living in Berlin for many years, decided to take the long way home to Australia. He sailed sail solo from the UK to Australia, negotiating the treacherous waters of the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans over two years with the camera on board his only companion in this poetic and at times lonely adventure.

Please see full media release below and attached. Ive attached an image (to be credited to photographer Cam Cope). Obviously, we’d be so thrilled if you might help to spread the word. Thanks so much, Gaby
