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
A Hot Spot Is Not a Diagnosis: Reading the Shape of a Solar Fault
Almost every solar thermographic report leads with hot spots, but a hot spot is a symptom rather than a diagnosis. The same temperature rise can come from a bypass diode, a microcrack, potential induced degradation or a disconnected string, and one common reading is not a fault at all. This piece explains what the temperature figure does and does not tell you, and the symmetry rule that separates electrical faults from cell damage on a commercial rooftop or ground-mount array.
Why a Building Thermal Survey Only Works in the Cold Months
A thermal camera does not see insulation, it sees temperature difference, and that single fact decides when a building survey can usefully be done. This explains the differential EN 13187 recommends, why the working season in the United Kingdom is shorter than most people expect, why imagery is captured well after sunset rather than at dusk, and how wind, rain and cloud affect what the results are worth. Practical guidance for anyone planning a heat loss survey this coming season.
Quantitative vs Qualitative Thermography: What Is the Difference?
Quantitative thermography measures corrected surface temperatures and produces defensible numbers. Qualitative thermography identifies faults from thermal pattern and contrast without assigning values. Neither is the easy option, and most professional surveys use both: a qualitative sweep to find the anomalies, then quantitative measurement to classify the ones that matter. The distinction that counts commercially is not the method but who interprets the data, and what they are qualified to conclude. Drone Media Imaging analyses at ITC Level III.
