Blog

High Speed 2 (HS2) Construction and Development in Birmingham - Aerial Images and Video
Love it or hate it, HS2 is here to stay, and so is this footage. Forever here to bare witness to this monumental scar, or logistical god-send, whichever camp you’re in. I’ve been collecting some very unique and I believe historical records, in stock footage, of the HS2 construction works.

Winter Camping in Snowdonia Video
A brutally cold wild camping video in the mountains, with BBC weather Snowdonia being not quite accurate… I settled in low on Y Garn and got well and truly snowed in. Great trip
Wild Camping. WHY? - A short video
Wild Camping. Why? Why do you do it? Why go wild camping? Why go through the hassle? Why get cold? Why get wet? Why bother?
I have no idea mate. Why do you do it? A video.
