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
Can Every Solar Array Be String Tested? What the Design Decides
Enquiries for electrical string testing usually lead with the array's size, and capacity is rarely the number that decides the job. How the system was wired, what sits behind each module, and who is available to open and isolate the boxes decide whether a string test is straightforward, expensive or not conventionally possible at all. This piece sets out the three things worth establishing before anyone quotes a price or commits to a date.
Air Leakage and Air Pressure: What Makes a Leak Visible to a Thermal Survey
Air leakage is only visible to a thermal camera when something is pushing air through the building fabric. Stack effect, wind and mechanical ventilation each create that pressure difference, each acts differently on different elevations, and each can disappear during a survey. This piece explains what drives air through a building envelope, why leakage appears as a spreading plume rather than a hard edged patch, and where a thermal survey stops and a pressurisation test begins.
You Fly It, We Certify It: What Remote Thermographic Reporting Can and Cannot Establish
A drone operator in Scotland flew three multi-storey residential blocks in the spring of 2025. They had the aircraft, the payload and the access, but nobody able to sign the result as a certified thermographic inspection. We wrote the capture protocol for their team before the flight and certified the reporting afterwards. This piece covers why the protocol comes first, what the analysis established, and what remote reporting genuinely cannot settle.
