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
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.
The Roof You Can Reach Is Not the Whole Roof
A roof gets inspected in the places a person could stand, and that single fact explains most of what gets found late. Ladders reach the eaves, scaffolds cover one elevation, and fragile coverings restrict a roof walk exactly where the roof is oldest. Photographing from the air removes the constraint rather than the expertise: every slope is covered square on, and the interpretation stays with your roofer or surveyor.
