@ShomiMalik @SlowWaysUK Thank you Shomi, very kind! @SlowWaysUK love your work

@SlowWaysUK @GitongaFilm is the type of story we all need in these times. Guaranteed inspiration.

For inspiration, we want to create a list of films about people who have gone on walking journeys. We're looking for both short independent films and longer features. Do you have any recommendations?

@LisvlTravels @GitongaFilm @kendalmountain He speaks in such a wise, heartfelt way. It would be wonderful if more folk could help boost his Crowdfunding campaign to summit Everest in 2022. gofundme.com/f/gitonga/dona… @kendalmountain

Very much enjoyed @GitongaFilm at @kendalmountain, an inspiring tale of one man's dream to become the first Black Kenyan to climb Everest. Loved the line 'The most courageous thing you can do with your life is to do what you love...to do what makes your heart dance.' Too true.

@AntsBK @kendalmountain Thank you so much Antonia, this is very kind of you and very glad it resonated with you. Your journey is inspiring!

@LisvlTravels @kendalmountain Thanks Lis!

Thoroughly enjoying this year's @kendalmountain If you are into adventure travel, then do join in as you'll be incredibly inspired by adventures around the world 🌏 Absolutely loved watching @GitongaFilm as well as Running the Roof this weekend. #KendalMountainFestival #adventure

This is a special event held in the town of Kendal just an hour from where Joe grew up, and promises to be brilliant. If you have time & finances to watch the online showings give it a go! Big thank you to @CJ_Cart & the team for giving us this wonderful opportunity with GITONGA!

While Gitonga embarks on a crazy bid to run up and down Mount Kenya this weekend as part of his Everest 2022 training, we're delighted to announce that GITONGA has been selected for the wonderful @kendalmountain festival in the UK
