The Frozen Frog
An adventure documentary film, following the journey of Lake District-based athlete, Ben Robinson, as he attempts the very first winter Frog Whitton challenge.
The Frog Whitton is 96 miles of cycling through the mountainous terrain of the Lake District, interspersed with a 6 mile swimming distance split between Ullswater, Derwentwater, Crummockwater, and Rydal Water. It has historically only been completed in summer conditions.
The Frozen Frog weaves the challenge of a winter Frog Whitton with Ben’s home-life and story, exploring themes of body confidence, transformation, and what it takes, physically and mentally, to go from a regular person to elite athlete.
