Post from 24th May 2020
Well where to start i began my first full adventure since January 2020 and i was more excited than my nerves could take it been over a whole year since visiting my home from home Plas Y Brenin and the day had arrived, i double checked my bags and made sure i packed all my filming stuff and i was off ......
Arrival time was 1500 hrs and the first day was settling in time, preparing each day that evening and also taking in the views that i have truly missed and of course the sense of nature that flowed through my body
The first full day consisted of creating the introduction for this short film which would be going towards the comic book i am writing with my lecturer Jason, taking to the world i began production on how the scene would hold out, looking at the different angles and overlooking which view and position i would stand in, never in my life would i see myself creating such angles but yet here we are and i was loving it
Day 2 of filming took a bit of a turn around as i was adding certain props into these scenes, bubble wrap, climbing helmet and outdoor clothing and the scenes that i needed to shoot needed to be in a quiet area due to the type of scene i was trying to create but due to lockdown and one way systems i had to basically wing it and take it as it came
My final day consisted of just site seeing whilst i was in North Wales and editing my film production to add to the rest of the collection soon which will help go towards the comic piece i am writing with Jason and produce at a conference next year which is a big step for me in the world due to the challenges i have overcome and producing this piece of work about my university experience over the three years will show people and everyone no matter how different or challenging things can be, you can succeed in anything if you try
As Covid-19 settles down and the world begins to open again, i take on more adventures, more chances of working in the outdoor industry and a bit more freedom within me as the challenges i face become more real and i take on them more each day and create the adventures i wish to become part of my life
