I do love my life. I may not have much but who needs to be greedy. That life is made better by the work I get to carry out. So this month I have some coaching, guiding and the ‘normal’ instructor work but this week I also have a photo shoot with a well known fashion magazine.
These random and varied jobs keep me on my toes. So this week I have been scouting out locations and today driving the photographer round. Who also happens to be a climber, when I asked him what he climbs he handed me his phone with a great ridge climb in the Fitzroy group, in Patagonia.
Anyway, it seems he was happy with the suggested locations and shoot starts tomorrow. What is really funny is these media type who have come to the area are amazed by North Wales. I guess compared to a london office it is that. Although part is due to the 5* hotel they are staying in. I waited for half an hour there for the photography team and was so relaxed it was amazing despite me certainly lowering the usual tone of the place. The view from the Drawing room is something to behold.
Also had a win on one location as we needed vehicular access, we asked for a key for a gate and no white tape or hoop jumping instead we were just given the key. Who’d of thought it in this day and age of white tape and ‘elf and safety.
Might see if I can get some shots from the locations and post them but I am thinking it wouldn’t be possible.
