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
Domestic Solar Layout: Why the Roof Decides What Can Be Inspected
A domestic solar array is rarely laid out the way anyone would choose. Pitch and orientation are inherited from the building, and shading from chimneys, dormers and trees removes usable area before the layout is drawn. What gets installed is the residual. Those same decisions fix the plane the modules sit in, and so fix the directions from which they can usefully be imaged afterwards, which is why a rooftop array is awkward to assess from ground level.
A Home Solar Array Ages Quietly, and the Owner Is the Last to Know
A domestic solar array has no moving parts, makes no noise and sits out of sight, so nothing about a developing fault announces itself. The generation figure an owner can see is one number for the whole system, and a genuine loss can sit inside the ordinary variation of British weather. Drone Media Imaging looks at what those figures do and do not tell you, and why periodic thermographic survey examines the array itself rather than its aggregate output.
Visual, Electrical or Thermal? What a Solar Panel Inspection Actually Comprises
Ask three companies for a solar panel inspection and you can receive three different pieces of work, all correctly described by that word. A visual inspection, string-level electrical testing and a thermographic survey answer three separate questions, and IEC 62446-1:2016 keeps inspection and testing in different clauses for exactly that reason. This article sets out what each technique comprises, what each one cannot reach, how the three relate, and how to word an enquiry so it returns the answer you actually needed.
