Jake Tyler Black Dog Walks
Walking and running the whole of the Great Britain to raise awareness of Mental Health.
We had the opportunity to meet a remarkable young man, Jake Tyler, whole lives with depression and anxiety. He decided to take back control of his health by looking at the beauty of nature that surrounds him. One day he took off on a walk and didn’t stop until he had walked and run the length of the country. The BBC One Show caught up with him to tell his story and we were delighted to provide the aerial video.

Drone or Ladder: What Changes When a Solar Inspection Leaves the Ground
A drone or a ladder? The two are not the same solar inspection done two ways, and they produce different evidence. A visual check finds visible damage. A handheld thermal camera sees heat but, from a ladder, looks across the array at an angle where glass reflects the sky. A drone records every module from above under one set of conditions. This post sets out what each can see, why angle and timing change the reading, and where each belongs.
Simplified or Detailed: Which IEC 62446-3 Inspection a Rooftop Solar Array Actually Needs
IEC TS 62446-3 does not describe one solar thermography inspection but two. A simplified inspection confirms that modules and connections are working, reading thermal patterns only. A detailed inspection measures, normalises and classifies what it finds, and is the level at which module condition can be reported with confidence. This post explains the difference, where a drone flight over a rooftop array sits between them, and why the level should be agreed in writing before the aircraft is booked.
What the Office Cannot Fix: Why Aerial Data Quality Is Decided on Site
A drone survey flight produces photographs and positions, and that is the whole of the raw material. Everything afterwards is interpretation, so a gap in the imagery stays a gap and a soft frame stays soft. This post sets out what the day of capture actually decides: the light, the wind, the state of the ground, where ground control can physically go on a working site, and the narrow set of checks worth making before the van doors close.
