On Sunday 22 November 2026, peatland scientist Professor Roxane Andersen will take to the stage at the Endurance Session at Kendal Mountain Festival, on the edge of the Lake District. She’ll share the story of the 100 km run that she created and ran across the Flow Country in April this year, undertaken to raise awareness of the world’s only blanket bog UNESCO World Heritage Site and funds for the Flow Country Partnership.

She was accompanied on her run by award-winning travel and adventure film maker and environmental activist James Appleton. Roxane experienced all seasons in a day, setting off on a freezing morning and hoping to stay ahead of the approaching Storm Dave. The resulting film, Flow, will have its world premiere at the festival.

With stunning footage capturing the Flow Country’s expansive beauty and the dramatically changing light and conditions of the run, Flow brings Roxane’s endurance challenge together with insights from more than a decade spent researching these remarkable peatlands.
