Fancy a weekend of adventure travel films, engaging speakers, and inspiring travel ideas? Enter our competition to win tickets to the 7th annual Adventure Travel Film Festival from Friday August, 11 to Sunday August 13, 2017 in London.
In 2010, film-maker Austin Vince and travel writer Lois Pryce set up the first Adventure Travel Film Festival (ATFF) in Sherborne, Dorset in southwest England. The festival’s popularity outgrew the venue, and it moved to the grounds of Mill Hill School in north London. It continues to attract thousands of travel lovers, film and adventure seekers.

Who’s at this year’s festival?
Headlining this year is BBC presenter, adventure explorer and author Benedict Allen who’ll be discussing his recent experience in Papua New Guinea. Nick Jubber will be talking about his travels with Saharan nomads, while Sri Lankan motorcycle adventurer Dylan Wickrama talks about how he used his motorbike to power a home-made raft to circumnavigate the Darien Gap.
Films include 14 features and 13 shorts from all over the world. Highlights include Losing Sight of Shore, an incredible tale of four British women rowing across the Pacific; some will be at the festival for a live Q&A with festival director, Lois Pryce. Look out for Dug Out about two London friends who trek into the Amazon jungle, fell a tree and carve a dug-out canoe before sailing down the river. As you do…

More festival information
The festival returns to Mill Hill School in 200 acres of wooded parkland on the outskirts of London, where attendees can pitch their tents or park their caravans or campervans.

The programme also includes live bands, Ask The Experts’ panels, outdoor sessions such as Campfire Cooking and Yoga for Travellers, paddling expeditions, how to film your adventure, travel writing, and using drones and GoPros in filmmaking.
Festival founders, Lois Pryce and Austin Vince are independent travel veterans, with a catalogue of books and films between them. Austin is one of the world’s leading adventure motorcyclists and has made several TV shows about his travels, while Lois Pryce’s books about her solo motorcycle journeys across Africa, the Americas and Iran have been published worldwide.
