Octoberfest 2005

October Outdoor Fest 05 new dates announced

Gaynor Sports, Ambleside, is gearing up for the October Outdoor Fest. This year's event will run from 22nd to 29th October during the busy half term week. A packed programme of events will offer something every day of the festival for outdoor gear enthusiasts, children and parents. The purpose of the event, as in previous successful years, is to raise badly needed funds for the Langdale and Ambleside Mountain Rescue Team.

Leading experts from the major outdoor brands including Berghaus, Craghoppers, Leki, The North Face, Regatta, Silva and W L Gore will be supporting the seven-day event offering advice on equipment. The October Outdoor Fest events programme will offer a range of guided walks, opportunities to test equipment, a kid's treasure hunt, navigation workshops, evening events, special promotions and competitions.

Gaynor's Managing Director Paul Gaynor said: “The October Outdoor Fest has gone from strength to strength since its launch in 2002, last year's event attracted high visitors numbers whilst raising £3,500 for the Langdale and Ambleside Mountain Rescue Team. The event also looks at building and embracing the existing links between the outdoor industry and the public. We believe that our event has something for everyone and is unparalleled by anything else on the outdoor map this Autumn and are very grateful for the support and commitment we receive from the UK's leading outdoor brands, suppliers and distributors.”
