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
Where a Drone Takes Off From, and Whose Permission That Needs
Every drone flight starts and ends on somebody's ground, and an aviation authorisation gives no right to it. This post explains the two separate permissions a professional flight needs, the air and the ground, what happens when the client controls a site but does not own it, why the best vantage point is often next door, why public land and roads are rarely the answer, and how Drone Media Imaging settles the take-off point during planning rather than on the day.
Booking Drone Work: Where the Legal Responsibility Actually Sits
Hiring a drone operator does not make you responsible for the flight, but it does make the choice of operator yours. Since the rules changed at the end of 2020 there is no commercial drone permission as such: the category is set by the risk of the flight, and work on a working site normally needs a Civil Aviation Authority Operational Authorisation held by the operator. This article explains who carries what, and what a competent operator should show you before flying.
Aerial Imagery on a Live Construction Site: Showing the Job to People Who Are Not There
A construction project always has more people with a stake in it than it can have standing on the site. An aerial record shows the whole plot in one frame, with the boundary, the compound, the access and the works in their correct relationship, so people who cannot get there still understand it. This piece covers that use, what flying over a live workplace actually involves, and where a visual record stops and measurement begins.
