THE LAP

Documentary featuring Lee May and Tom Reeves premieres tonight at 8pm on Youtube.

A 75km loop around Windermere, England's largest natural lake.

I've spent the last few months editing this film and it's been quite bizarre watching torrential rain, ankle deep mud and low clouds during the current heat waves we've had in the UK.

I hope you all enjoy it as much as I have working on it.

I want to thank Lee and Tom for letting me be a part of their journey and to the race itself!!

I film a handful of ultras a year as Kelp and Fern, mostly in the UK, documenting peoples journeys that otherwise wouldn't be captured and I have never felt so welcome by an event or race before in my 10+ years doing this, they couldn't have done more for me.

So a huge thanks to David the RD and everyone at The Lap for having me.

Untreated #sewage illegally pumped into #WindermereLake

"Millions of litres of #RawSewage were illegally pumped into one of England's most famous lakes after a fault, the BBC can reveal.

"#UnitedUtilities failed to stop the illegal #pollution of Windermere, in the #LakeDistrict, for 10 hours in February and did not report the incident to the Environment Agency until 13 hours after it started.

"An almost identical incident occurred at the same location in 2022.

"The firm says it took urgent steps to resolve the incident in February.

"A pumping station in Bowness-on-Windermere, in Cumbria, normally sends sewage to Windermere Wastewater Treatment Works.

"But United Utilities documents, obtained by the BBC, show how a telecoms fault on the night of 28 February caused the main pumps to stop.

"A separate set of emergency pumps then discharged untreated sewage into the middle of Windermere, which is part of a Unesco World Heritage site.

"It is England's largest lake and one of the country's most popular natural attractions."

Untreated sewage pumped into Windermere after fault

Millions of litres of raw sewage were pumped into one of England's most famous lakes after a fault.

We recycle our pain. That is how trauma works. Living each moment as if it was the day we experienced the trauma. No body of water can cleanse the pain. Every day we wake up with it, this immovable mountain of trauma.

Pain never goes away, but it changes over time. It is a process and it can feel as if you are a rock being slowly weathered by a stream. If only we could be as malleable as the water.
