    Good on you for taking on the Ludlow challenge! Doesn't look like a PB course 😅 Beautiful scenery though 👍 Looking forward to seeing what the new camera can do.

      Ludlow was tough but, so rewarding. It’s definitely a course I will return to in the winter when it’s s bit cooler. New camera seems ok, it’s been on charge all day - I’ve just got to work out how to set it to record at 4K

    Excellent running 👍 I'd say that your current alcohol intake is quite reasonable, especially compared to what you used to drink. Obviously less tends to be better but everyone i know who goes to football has a drink 😅

    Nice video, fellow parkrun videographer! :) Loved your background music, how do you do it avoiding a copyright strike? On energy drinks, my partner was addicted as well, up to a couple a day. She managed to get off using ‘natural energy drinks’ instead for a few weeks/months. The kind of vitamin water they give for free in cans after races. Now she does not use either

    • @lathama
      @lathama 19 днів тому

      Thankyou for your comment. Avoiding the copyright is more through luck than judgement. I identify the track i want to use & then google search for a free download. Most of these will list if they have a copyright attached. However, like on this video, I actually expected a strike from the chariots of fire section. However i was pleasantly surprised when i got a "no impact" mark. Ive never done any races other than Parkrun (not a race), can you suggest vitamin water brands to try?

    Li, terally just what I have been thinking about for a few weeks :-) I lived around the corner 603 Old Lode Lane . until 1972 :-) Went to Ulverly at 8 , Solihull School @ 11 :-) Father Ross was the Chaplin ? At the church . This was our 'go' to place as kids , long before the ice rink :-) Or BMX . Just your regular road going bike . There were several challenges around the moat , saw some on the video :-) What I also saw is bike tracks in the mud . Some youth can leave the phone at home :-) get it wrong , rather fall in the mud than hit a tree :-) Had an oak in our back area that was about 450 years old . Solihull was first , Brum did not exist . St Mary at St Catherine ( yes , her on the wheel ) had a school in 996 , Solihull school roots go back only 500 + years . Would hate to see the place randomly ' dug up ' , we have 'ground radar' now . That is a serious moat ,First with all our new gear , then just on man power . trees and nature are taking it back . We have the moat as evidence , was there anything inside ? Cannot scrape the surface after 1100 years ? who lived there and how ? still bugs me :-) will see what it will cost to find out :-)

    there is a footpath that avoids the tight winding section that takes you along the road up in the trees meaning you avoid the road. there is a way to do that walk without walking the road at all.
