Four years ago to the day, Gordon Hughes and Vic Izzy Owens took on the Lon Las Cymru, a 250+ mile ultra-marathon race by Mark Cockbain. The race only occurs every 2 years and is currently being held again with all the participants now past this point and well on their way through mid Wales.

It takes on the entire length of Wales, from Holyhead in the north to Cardiff in the South and you have a time limit of 88 hours and is the longest road ultra-marathon race in all of the UK.

No welsh person or woman had ever finished this race.

Gordon and Vic set off together to change that!

The film is on Youtube if you've never watched it, called Running Against All Odds and is one of my favourite films and documentaries I have ever put out, it's an unbelievable story and something I come back to myself when looking for inspiration.

Focus on the Trail - The Beginner's Guide to Trail Running Photography is now PUBLISHED!

You can get your hands on the eBook or Paperback here https://amzn.eu/d/18IiRVj

My aim with this book, help trail runners, mountain runners and ultra marathoners slow down, enjoy the natural world that little bit more and hopefully help them take better photos of their adventures on this wonderful magic planet we all share.

I share 70+ of my own photographs i've taken on my own adventures and walk you through the basics of landscape, nature and photographing trail runners on the trail so you can hopefully take better photos of your adventures, your friends and what you see around you.

Here are some of those photos from the book which I use in specific examples throughout.

I believe this book is the first of its kind, aimed at trail runners and those that move through environments lightly and swiftly.

I want to thank so many people, events, the trail itself as this book otherwise would not have been possible.

Rachel, my wife, the most kindest and adventurous human. You have helped in so many ways to get this book out and I dedicate the book to you.

To all those i've shared the trail with, those that have supported my work with Kelp and Fern, i've met some beautiful people out there on the trail and I thank you all for those special moments.

Diolch pawb!

Post race interview with Paul Youd done and everything in place now to work on his short-film about his 50k ultra-marathon around Bath and why he is an ambassador for Running on Plants.

Really looking forward to working on this one and sharing his story with you all in the coming months.

Unlike most in the trail and ultra world, we are not sponsored by brands and It's thanks to the Youtube members, Patreon supporters and those that have donated over the years that films like this are possible and thanks to every comment, thumbs up and subscriber as every little helps as we pursue to tell stories in the trail and ultra-running world that otherwise would go untold.

The turning point on yesterdays 2 hour trail run on the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, just a lovely couple of hours with Otter.

Spent 30 minutes filming to add to a video talking about this years releases as well as some non-documentary projects i've been working, in some cases, for over 2 years.

They won't be merch or products that you might think, these are brand new innovative creations made specifically for trail and ultra runners and they ask less of the world and question whether the industry is doing enough #forthetrail

Super excited and nervous at the same time and more updates about these coming out in the next week leading up to the video release were I explain more.
