Whether you’re an avid explorer or simply someone who cherishes the power of storytelling and the beauty of nature, the Kendal Mountain Tour 2026 promises to leave you inspired and moved by the shared human spirit of adventure.
Event Speaker Rob Matheson
Rob Matheson will be joining the team on stage preceded by the film 'The Bells!'.
Rob Matheson is a Lakes legend. At the forefront of hard new-routing since the 1970s, in recent years Rob has been working through many of his classic lines, re-climbing them for their 50th anniversaries. Often filmed under Rob’s YouTube alter-ego 'The Angry Pensioner', earlier this year Rob announced he was going to step things up a bit and have a look at the classic, uber-bold line 'The Bells, The Bells!' at Craig Gogarth.
