Toubkal Attempt – Paragliding in Morocco’s Atlas Mountains

I’m just back from an eventful week in Morocco. The aim was to climb Toubkal (4,167m) and be the first British team to paraglide from the summit. Things didn’t quite turn out as planned. The week before we arrived there was a serious paragliding accident which ended with the pilot being evacuated by an RAF helicopter that just happened to be in the country. This resulted in the Moroccan authorities closing the local area to paragliding until further notice so we had to go further afield to get in the air. The flying we had was sensational – lovely long thermic flights overlooking mountains and brown plains. The walk to the summit of Toubkal was fantastic, after initial poor forecasts, the weather was looking favourable for our flight from the top. In the end, we summitted in 60km/hr winds and sub zero temperatures which made taking off impossible. The views from well above the low lying clouds were beautiful. We had to make do with a consolation flight from lower down the mountain where the winds were much lighter. See a write-up of the trip by one of the team here. During our week our team helped down a girl […]

Paradise Island, Bahamas – Joan Rivers & The Jersey Boys

On Thursday evening I received a call asking if I could get on a flight to the Bahamas the following morning to film a three day corporate party at the One & Only Ocean Club. It was a non-stop event involving three cameramen filming 16 to 17 hour days in the Bahamian heat. We averaged around 5 hours sleep a night so there was no time for sitting on the beach! Amongst the evening entertainment over the three day event was a stand up routine by Joan Rivers, and a long set by the Jersey Boys. By day the guests had activities including deep sea fishing, snorkelling and swimming with dolphins. The champagne flowed, the sun shone and we got a lot of very good footage! I’m going to catch up on some sleep now.

Kate Moss Exclusive

Last night I filmed an exclusive interview with Kate Moss at Longchamp’s London store. She was there towards the end of London Fashion Week to promote her latest collection of bags. She was joined by friends including Philip Green, Mario Testino, Sadie Frost, Jaime Winstone and many others. We were the only camera crew allowed in the store but outside it was a different story – punches were thrown and photographers trampled as Kate arrived. All very different for us inside the store… oh and the champagne and cocktails were delicious! See the video on the Grazia site here. The footage was syndicated to news channels around the world.

Beverley Knight at Cowarth Park

Last night I filmed a huge event at Coworth Park, the new luxury country house hotel in Berkshire. It opened especially for this party and what a party it was, culminating in the most impressive fireworks display I have ever seen… sadly I didn’t see as much of it as I would have liked as I was filming guests reactions while the display itself was covered by another camera! Having filmed Beverley Knight a couple of years ago I thought I knew what to expect but she surpassed herself. I hope to film her again soon!
