Make your journey part of the adventure at ShAFF 2020

This year ShAFF is challenging people who love the outdoors to seek out acts of adventurous rebellion, and come together with their tribe to change the world for the better.

So many of the films submitted to ShAFF this year showcase epic low carbon journeys that make adventurous experiences richer and more meaningful, like 12,000km, and Electric Greg. What better way then to find your own #ActofRebellion than by making your journey to ShAFF part of the adventure too?

Grab yourself a Komoot bargain and help us log low carbon miles

To help you plan your epic low carbon journey to the festival, we’re proud to announce that we’ve teamed up with Komoot.com as the official routing partner for ShAFF 2020. Komoot is a wayfinding app that helps you find, plan and record your journeys on foot or by bike. This means we can offer a dedicated ShAFF Komoot profile with routes to get to the festival sourced from locals in the know, and some amazing mapping offers to help you unlock the topographical information you need to plan your journey. Find more.

No choice but to take the car or catch a plane?

We understand that sometimes, on balance, there is no other choice. We hope we have inspired you to make all of your journeys a little more low carbon and adventurous, but if you have to take the care or catch a plane to ShAFF, why not consider donating to the BMC’s The Climate Project? Donations to the project go to supporting Moors for the Future to plant an amazing little plant called sphagnum that sequesters more carbon than a tropical rainforest, right here on Peak District and South Pennine moors.
