RTE with Rock & Ride

RTE are filming a programme 'Irelands Natural History' and required access to a remote cliff area to film and study rare plant life. The plant dates back too before the last ice-age 60,000 years ago and has a unique distribution across the western seaboard and only one known location in Ireland.

It clears after we finished - sods law!

Rock&Ride where tasked to provide an assessment of the cliff/mountain area and then safety cover for the shoot.
The weather proved to be very challenging for all. Visibilty was poor, with strong winds and rain. Not ideal for shooting a documentary. All the crew proved very resilient and we had a long day in the mist.

The programme will be out next April and we will look forward to seeing the results.
We had great co-operation from local landowners Padraig & Michael.
Special thanks also to friend and colleague Paul Kellagher for assistance during the day.

Many thanks to all at RTE and Colin (the Botanist).
