Directed by Neil Emery, ‘Lake District Walks: Coniston Old Man Round’ is a short adventure documentary that follows an avid hiker on his pursuit of the Old Man of Coniston, a fell in the Cumbrian Furness Fells. The film stars Neil Emery, who self-tapes his expedition, showcasing breath-taking landscapes throughout. This low-budget production is a perfect escape for those with a keen interest in adventure travel and walking trips.

The 28-minute film forms part of a wider series of the Lake District. In this docu-short, Neil Emery grapples with the harsh English winter as he ascends the hills on a 10-hour trek. Throughout the film, Neil delivers his knowledge of the area and the routes to follow. A poignant scene is during his visit to a memorial site of an aviation disaster, where some of the remains are still present. (Halifax Bomber LL505, 1944). A fine film full of awe-inspiring scenery from start-to-finish.
