Welcome to #PinkNicky’s Blog, your weekly dose of adventure ideas.
It’s Saturday morning, so grab your tea and toast.
What did I get up to this week: This week I have been hanging out with the family, long walks along the seafront and sitting around my big fire in the garden roasting marshmellows. No matter how old you are you can’t beat making a s’mores.
The film I have choosen this week was a winner at the 2023 BMC Women in Adventure film competition! (BMC stands for British Mountaineering Council)
When you get a chance, you can slowly work through all the 12 minute films and pick your favourite. I love seeing all these woman in the film and learning about all the female filmakers that bring the stories to life. Morag won the Best Professional Award.
Here is the description of the film:
Morag (from the Berghaus Ascension Series) by Coldhouse featuring Morag Skelton
Morag Skelton believes that nothing should come between anyone and getting out there in nature. As a deaf climber constantly pushing the limits of possible, she lives that belief. The Ascension Series explores stories of people pushing through barriers to define themselves in the great outdoors. Part two features Morag Skelton who doesn’t let being deaf limit what’s possible on the mountainside.
Star of the film Morag Skelton said: “@mattpycroft reached out to me nearly two years ago and asked if I would be keen to tell my story, I look back now and I’m very grateful he did otherwise none of this would have happened. I am definitely noticing the changes, outdoors films are becoming more accessible for everyone and the discussion has got me thinking how to make the outdoors more accessible. Looking forward to seeing what happens in the future for the deaf community.”
Enjoy
It’s time to get out of bed! and find today’s adventure!
