A montage of clips from the last few years - of me running or climbing up different piles of scrap in the yard. I've been playing on, and climbing, big piles of scrap since I was small, for years I scrambled on the mountains in the Lake District but an old ankle injury and subsequent surgery put paid to my serious walking days. Anyway, for a laugh, I decided to film myself running up the big broken cast pile and post it on Instagram, as a wildlife photographer I post a lot on Instagram so it was the obvious place, I'm a Facebook hater so it aint going on there - for my 60th birthday, one thing led to another and one weekend I climbed most of the piles in the yard, I've struggled to find all of the clips amongst hundreds of thousands of files stored on multiple PC's but I found a few. In one of the clips I'm wearing shorts, that was last August for my 63rd birthday, I had to do it three times to get the clip right. I might do it again on my upcoming birthday - maybe, use it or lose it as they say, something I really believe, it just gets a bit harder as the joints start to complain. There's another clip and it's just a closeup of the pile as I scramble up as fast as I can with my phone in one hand and then the view from the top. Not sure what the clip is like as I can't view the edited version on my PC, Windows was objecting - just for a change. Also, the most dangerous part is coming back down, up is just being light on your feet and fitness, not so with coming down.
