I visited Portsmouth in the south of England to see the Americas Cup sailing. The day was officially a practice day but that did not stop the teams taking it seriously as they made their way through the race village and out to their waiting boats. Before racing commenced we where treated to a display by the RAF display team The Red Arrows who looked spectacular above the UK`s Land Rover BAR team boat as it waited to start racing. It wasn't long till the racing began in sun soaked Portsmouth and the condition's where perfect for some exiting action on the water, My film gives a overview of the days events and the atmosphere both on the water and in the race village. Please note this video is not a race highlights video for full coverage of the event please visit the official website of the Americas cup or their excellent you tube channel.

THESE STUNTS ARE PERFORMED BY TRAINED PROFESSIONALS, DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME. In my film The Stannage International Stunt Team perform at Verdonbury 3 in the Leicestershire village of Newbold Verdon. The world record breaking Stannage International Stunt Team made up of Stannage family members Mark, Janine and Aaron Stannage have worked world wide for over 15 years (established in 2000) to entertain and bring excitement to audiences of all ages. The team have performed their shows all over Europe and the middle east returning (pre-Verdonbury) from the Muscat Festival in Oman. Watch as they ride motobikes, jump vans and perform fire stunts around the arena. Verdonbury is an annual event set up by Newbold Verdon Community Action Group and features stalls and entertainment from the village and local area.

I visited Foxton Locks in Leicestershire to explore the ten canal locks that make up the longest flight of locks in Britain. Located on the Leicester line of the Grand Union Canal about 5 km west of the Leicestershire town of Market Harborough the locks are named after the nearby village of Foxton. My film joins a narrow boat (Calmer Karma) as it makes it way to the top lock before taking in the scenery along the canal side.
