Dave MacLeod's sold-out lecture contained fascinating new images and tales fresh from the amazing recent flurry of activity in Scotland and Stephen Venables entertained a full house with his new lecture "In the Steps of Shackleton" on the Saturday night. Stephen is now touring with this lecture until May, I highly recommend you get along to a show if you can.
Other ME Pro Partners also featured heavily in the weekend socialising including Stu McAleese, Andy Turner and Brian Hall along with Andy Parkin who came over specially from Chamonix to share stories, curries and beers with us all.
Andy is fresh back from yet another foray into the high mountains of Nepal where he battered his 20-something year old windsuit into submission and we enjoyed looking at the after effects and downloading his latest thoughts on equipment design for high altitude mountaineering.
Brian Hall, Keith Partidge and myself also took the opportunity to corner Andy for an interview as well as Stephen, Dave and several others for a film project we are currently working on. 
As usual with these things it's a shame it is all over so quickly, but it's great to be left wanting more... Huge thanks and congratulations to all those who put the festival together, a gargantuan effort for an entirely volunteer team. Bring on LLAMFF 2011.
