Matt Heason, Festival Director said: "We've been bowled over by the great local support we're getting for the festival in its first year.  It's brilliant to have a local company like Rab on board - all the more so as they're renowned for pushing the boundaries of climbing and mountaineering - designing and producing equipment and clothing for the most extreme conditions in the world."

Nikki Skinner, Marketing Manager at Equip Outdoor Technologies Ltd said:  "As a Derbyshire based company RabŪ is delighted to be the Event Sponsor for BAF and have no doubt that this experience organised by Heason Events will become an established celebration of all things adventurous. This jam-packed weekend of lectures and films looks set to be interesting and fun with a programme that has something for everyone including up-and-coming young adventurers!"
