A film festival with a difference will take place in Bolton - the Hollywood of the North - next month.
The borough is a popular go to location for primetime dramas and hosts an international film festival every year.
Next month, Lancashire Adventure Film Festival returns to Lostock in February, promising clips of wild escapades and death-defying scenes from the North West's most daring filmmakers.
For the film festival showcases local adventures make by local people and features footage of their own trips, climbs, and walks throughout Lancashire and globally.
The event will be held on February 7 at Rock Over Climbing - the Lostock-based climbing gym which, on Saturday January 31, will also play host to a world-record-breaking attempt to climb the full height of Mount Everest.
Organiser Robin Müller said: "The festival is all about people sharing adventures and inspiring other people to go on adventures themselves.
"There's a really good community spirit around it.
"I'm really looking forward to seeing people's reactions to these films - I've already seen them all and I think people will enjoy them."
The festival ill be accompanied by a bouldering session at Rock Over Climbing.
'Bouldering' differs from 'climbing' in that it involves participants climbing shorter walls with no ropes, focusing primarily on the strength and technique of the climbers.
Entry will be £9, with food available as part of the price of the ticket and real ale at £1.50 a pint.
This fee also includes full access to the climbing wall for the day, and access into the evening to watch the films.
The films will feature climbers and aspiring filmmakers from around the North West taking on challenges both local and exotic - from scaling the sides of an old Egerton quarry to a cliff face in Turkey.
One filmmaker climbed the Old Man of Hoy in Scotland, a 137m tall stack of rock just off the North coast of Scotland, near the Orkney Islands.
Robin said: "We're happy to show any sort of film - you don't have to be a professional.
"Some of the best films are shot by amateurs because of the rawness and the local spirit of them."
There will also be 'boulder bingo', with prizes up for grabs for the most intrepid explorers.
Climbers will be given a bingo card with each square designating a different climb - the first person to check off a row of climbs will win a small prize.
A group from the Bolton Walking and Outdoors Appreciation Society will be attending the event after their weekend walk, for those interested.
