Overton Port Eynon, Swansea – BBC One Show Mother of All Challenges for Sports Relief
Here is a short collection of clips shot for the BBC One show “Mother of all Challenges” for Sports Relief with presenter Alex Jones. It was a very early start and a long hike with heavy equipment through muddy fields, but worth it for the breath taking Welsh cliffs and seascapes!
It was great to see a lot of the clips in the final show, that went out live the same day – here is the programme

“Alex Jones teamed up with four inspirational Mums as they took on five days of gruelling challenges around the UK for Sport Relief. They put their bodies to the test to raise life-changing money and awareness of important issues around maternal health, with the nation following their journey on The One Show. The team braved the cold as they swam across Scotland’s most famous loch, hiked and cycled some of the Lake Districts most famous passes, battled the Porth Yr Ogof cave in the Brecon Beacons and finished with a cross-country run across the hilly Welsh coast. ” – BBC One Show
Flying a Drone Near an Airport: What a Flight Restriction Zone Means for Your Site
Plenty of commercial property sits close to an airport, and a Flight Restriction Zone reaches well beyond the perimeter fence. A site two miles from a runway, with no view of it, can still sit squarely inside the zone. This post explains what those zones cover, the three separate permissions that people tend to treat as one, why the airspace approval is assessed flight by flight rather than granted once, and what to tell your operator before the date is agreed.
Reading a Roof Thermogram: Why the Pattern Proves More Than the Temperature
Ask what temperature difference proves a roof is wet and you will be given a number. It is the wrong answer to the wrong question. A thermal camera measures surface temperature, arrived at through emissivity, reflection and viewing angle, and what identifies trapped moisture is behaviour over time rather than magnitude. This post covers what the camera is really reading, why saturated material lags behind dry material as a roof cools, and the conditions that decide the result before anyone flies.
Storm Damage to a Roof: What to Record, and How Soon
A storm goes through and the roof is suddenly the one part of the building nobody can safely climb. This is a practical look at what to do in the first few days: how soon a roof can realistically be photographed from the air once the weather allows, what makes those images worth having later rather than merely reassuring now, and where a visual inspection stops. Written for building owners, landlords and managing agents across the South East.
