The camera is an insta360 x2. Its takes a 360 degree video and then I have to edit it to look normal. Which is great as you can just point it anywhere and then get the shot you need from it later. There is a newer x3 version thats just come out but the x1 or x2 are both good and cheaper than the new one :) Similarly i use a dji mini 2 drone. there are newer ones but he image quality is just as good with the old one
All these places are incredible.had the pleasure of enjoying a few nice trips around all the islands, watching videos like this always kinda get me emotional for some reason? Maybe because I've watched my girls play in the sea, build sand castles, njoy bbq, whilst me and mum enjoy some beers and wine?! Some of my best memories ever are on these beaches. Just no words for the magnificence of them, especially on a sunny day
What kind of camera is that you use? I've never seen anyone get them angles, and it doesn't look like you're holding anything?!!! This is playing with my mind!
its an insta360 camera. It takes a 360 image and automatically removes the pole its attached to. its great for running videos as it looks like I have a camera floating near me :) store.insta360.com/product/x4

I have seen a lot of videos about the amazing beaches of the outer Hebrides, but I can count on one hand the people I've seen in the water on all of them. Is the water too cold? Sharks? What is it?
The water can be chilly but there is a sea swimming community on the island. Check out hsswildswimmap.weebly.com/ for info. I think its just the case that people are too busy swimming instead of filming :)
What an amazing video! I love the style and narration. The drone footage was awesome. I subscribed and did all that RU-vid nonsense! I appear in the video a couple of times, it's such an honor for me! It was an amazing experience, and I'm very glad you created such a fantastic video reportage.
What a terrific video of a spectacular area! Thanks for showing us. Lovely to see all the green grass. I have only been to Harris one time but the whole area was brown and black. I think a lot of burning had taken place. Lovely to see the green. Your aerial work is wonderful. ❤
Thanks for the footage (as others have said) - your video brings a certain amount of realism to it. Although, saying it was a good job you did not recce one part (as you would have never done it) now instills fear if I ever manage to sign up (looking for 2025 - whenever they open registration)
As a first timer at this event I was thoroughly impressed by the organisation by UTS. I felt looked after and treated as a runner not a punter for the whole experience, very important as I’ve heard a few people describing it as just a money making machine. What I would point out is the importance of paying attention to the course details and mandatory kit, which if you admitted to forgetting a torch you hadn’t, and if you looked at the course profile it clearly stated the first aid station for the 50k was fluids only. Also as a long race in warm weather, you had the option to bring kit that was not required, but good practice, one being a bottle top water filter to take on extra water from any sources available, invaluable for those conditions.
Yes - I knew what was at each aid station and I planned accordingly by having enough water and food with me to not need any assistance. My complaint is that in comparison to other races (and I've done allot) the quality of the aid stations was very poor.
Nice video. You had a similar day to me, cooked by the heat just like last year. Certainly my experience of last year helped but writing on the wall when it’s that hot. At least the first timers now know what’s involved!! It’s a tough tough race!
Well done taking part. It was a hot day! The only way I'd have gone up the third hill was if there was a swimming pool filled with ice cream at the top :)
@@twinbikerun ha ha I was going to be timed out at cp2 so I grabbed Fanta and Coke and headed down the llanberis path slowly back to the start. And there was a cafe open half way down which was a nice surprise! Back next year I hope, gotta conquer this 💪
Good video thanks. I'm planning to do the 50k next year but it's a bit disappointing to hear the feed stations are poor. There's no excuse for it really, especially considering the high fees to run on trails you could do for free .
Supposedly it was better than last year so hopefully they improve again next year. They seem to listen and respond to feedback. Good luck with your race!
For such a big company as UTMB they bring such disrepute to the ultra running, values and ethos. After paying all that money, sufficient water is the least you can expect at every aid station.
I couldn't believe how poor the aid stations were. I've done a few small scale £40 ultras that are far, far better in terms of how they look after runners. Did you hear the MC at the start line say "you guys are getting great value for money today"? It all felt like a complete and utter rip off to me 😅😅
@@stevenmeldrum1944 Wasn't expecting much luxury, but was expecting more than just 2 stations with peanuts, banana ends and packs of Walkers Crisps. Much cheaper events that I've taken part in have gone to much greater lengths, that's all I'm saying. If all I wanted was a tough trail run, I'd run out the door and do it for free!
In my experience the cheaper the race the better the quality of grub :) They supplied crisps to the 100k runners at checkpoint 1 so they could easily have done it for the the 50k too!
Love rockcliffe, happy memories of going there when I stayed with my grandparents. You should check out Morton Castle whilst in d&g, it’s a beautiful tiny ruin set by a reservoir and barely changed in two hundred years
the donut was a warm up. I was heading troughh to Gullane to have the best nachos in scotland. www.oldclubhouse.com/ The nachos here are so big the waiter asked "are you sure?" when i said the order was just for me :)

"Montane Mens Minimus Stretch Ultra Jacket Narwhal Blue" but I'm not sure they get made any more. Check out www.sportsshoes.com/ for montane stuff. They normally have good discounts on it
