Dave about to get into position in his traditional climbing garb

A very quick line with a couple of sample images from last Thursday's shoot with well known media type and live broadcast superstar Dave MacLeod. I can't say too much about the shoot but the brief was mission impossible, and on one of the most beautiful days in god's country we went out to do the impossible. An incredible day was had, apart from a dislocated knee cap, but that is something else indeed. The shoot went well and I'll provide a link when they are used by the client. We seemed to race into the mountain, but struggled out, myself on a dodgy knee, Dave on a well publicised dodgy ankle, with stitches to match. I wish I could claim the romance of a rockfall on an overhanging face as the culprit for my undoing, instead a pile of heather, a hole and a rock claim the credit for my mishap...

Starting out on a big swing...

So, with the help of some painkillers I'm sitting writing with my leg in a brace, crutches to assist, and the realisation that I need to be on my feet by tomorrow. The joys of self-employment never stop! Seemed a good idea at the start. Anyway tomorrow is another day, and hopefully, leg permitting, next week is another start, as I'm due to head out to Pakistan to start a new position. If I can walk that is...
