The Kendal Mountain Festival national tour began last week and I thought the start of the tour would be a good chance for me to catch up on our Kendal coverage.
I could not make it to Kendal in November myself, but I managed to convince a panelist you know quite well to represent the podcast. In a moment you will hear the post-festival conversation I had with her, plus she asked a number of different people the same three questions:
Have you been to Kendal before?
What’s been your favourite part?
What would you like to see improved or done differently?
