Nowhere in the Kickstarter site does it mention any fundraising for Mountain Rescue. Only the UKC news headline. On the Kickstarter website, where we are asked to pledge the money, there is a link entitled, "what are you spending the money on?." And the answer is: "Making films to a professional level takes time and expertise. Part of this budget is reserved for post production (that's basically editing and putting the film together) but most is specifically for our expeditions, that's food for 6 people, fuel for two live in vehicles, contingencies and kit" So UKC News, where is the money going? Mountain Rescue or making a film?

Very good question. The whole 'we're doing this for charity' thing has always been a problem for me. If your a really good guy then shut the f# up and write the cheque. There is also the question of the Joe's own personal financial security after two yearsof this. That may be just fine but at the first thought of this I wondered if he can afford to live, which is more important than filming expenses. Wasdale MRT? Good cause. What's wrong with Scafell Pike and Wast Water?

I made a pledge to Dom Bush and Joe Beaumont via Kickstarter before the UKC article. I don't know either of them and came across the project via Facebook. I was very impressed with the project and the made the pledge assuming the money wasn't for the Mountain rescue, if they are going to raise money for the MR too then that's great. I am a bit surprised at the tone of your post, not the question, just the way it has been put. It seems to insinuate that this is not a worthwhile project if it is not raising money for the MR, I hope I have misunderstood. We all seem happy donating money to aid rescuing people, why not help to aid their recovery? From my own experience (on a minor scale) these sort of challenges are essential for rehabilitation. I am looking forward to the finished film too.

More info from In The Frame, (hosted on most websites covering it, including the BMC.): 'The film will be premiered at Kendal Film Festival in November, and sold as a download. All proceeds from the download will go to charity: 75% to Mountain Rescue and 25% towards the BMC Access and Conservation Trust.' Maybe read a little more about the project before kicking off.
