Part 1: OutdoorLads hike with The North Face (this event)

Part 2: The North Face interviews OutdoorLads

Background

The North Face are launching a new Pride campaign and kit range and wants to partner with OutdoorLads to champion the UK part of the project.

The primary message of this campaign is to showcase that "exploration is for all," and OutdoorLads and The North Face will be promoting this throughout Pride Month in June.

An essential element of this campaign will be a film featuring OutdoorLads and several LGBT organisations from across Europe. It will include a brilliantly coloured rainbow version of one of their bestselling tents as the main icon and will feature footage and interviews of OutdoorLads members enjoying the outdoors and showcasing our #GetOutMore ethos.

Your involvement in this project will help deliver a vital diversity message for The North Face and help promote the amazing things we, as OutdoorLads, achieve. You will need to be comfortable talking about yourself and OutdoorLads, to camera, to be able to come on this event. 

What will happen

On Tuesday 22nd March join OutdoorLads and The North Face on a scenic walk at the foot of the dramatic Tryfan, in the Ogwen Valley, North Wales.

We'll walk up to Llyn Idwal, and get to a particularly nice, picturesque spot and as a group erect their one-off rainbow tent. There'll be a camera crew with a drone to take some spectacular shots of the tent and OutdoorLads members in that environment. The North Face team may interview some of us on the way to and from this spot. 

The day will involve mostly filming, so expect some time standing around whilst they set up shots etc (bring a warm coat if cold). 

The North Face Clothing

The North Face want their gear to feature in this film and will supply attendees with some new The North Face branded clothing to wear during filming. They have confirmed members will get an item to keep as a thank you for their efforts in participating on the day; however, at this stage, we can't confirm what that item will be.

Booking instructions

This event requires more commitment than a typical OutdoorLads walk as preparations will be made for each individual attendee. For this reason, we require attendees to email with their clothing sizes, and we'll be in touch periodically to make sure everybody is still able to attend.
