In 2020, our Managing Director, Jet, assumed the role of Location Manager for BBC Wales Natural History in collaboration with Onetribe TV. Faced with the challenge of capturing footage in unpredictable UK waters with poor visibility and changeable weather, Jet, along with the crew, devised an ingenious plan to overcome the near-impossible. Our team successfully documented a whale feeding on a bait ball, a feat that usually necessitates traveling to Baja. However, we achieved this extraordinary accomplishment right here in the UK through meticulous planning, implementing a robust safety plan.

Discover how our unrivaled knowledge, problem-solving skills, and unwavering commitment to safety can elevate your production's location management process and deliver exceptional results.

At Adventure beyond, we thrive on conquering the logistical challenges that accompany every production. Our exceptional ability to understand and execute time-sensitive movements of people and delicate equipment to remote rural locations and demanding environments has made us an invaluable asset to numerous successful productions. With our approachable and flexible approach, we collaborate closely with Production Managers to ensure smooth logistics for their teams, including the production of vital workable call sheets that are essential for seamless operations.

In 2020, we played a vital role in the production of highly demanding projects such as the all-new 'Don't Rock the Boat' and 'I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here.' Despite their inherent challenges, our expertise and support contributed to their resounding success. However, the pinnacle of our accomplishments in 2020 was supporting the production of a groundbreaking BBC Natural History series in the Celtic Sea. Overcoming the dynamic challenges posed by UK weather, water conditions, and marine life, we proved our ability to thrive in the face of adversity. While others may resort to easier filming locations like Baja, we embraced the complexity and emerged triumphant. Our proficiency in logistics stems from a wealth of experience and expertise gained through working with the MOD, adventure tourism, adventure education, coaching elite athletes, adventure racing, global expeditions, and a deep understanding of life's intricate dynamics.

Having worked in the outdoors for many years, we have a wealth of knowledge in the development of workable, realistic policies and procedures to support your productions. Our team is well known in the outdoor industry for our breadth of knowledge and ability. "Jet set up his adventure company at the age of 18 and has safely and successfully led adventures all over the world, has been a member of the Adventure Activities Advisory Industry Council (AAIAC) who give advice to the UK government on workable, outdoor safety along with having been a founder member of organisations like the National Coasteering Charter (NCC) to develop safe coasteering nationwide”. Having a wide ranging skill set and experience in many areas of risk, we have found ourselves in a very strong place to support productions on land; above and below the ground, on hills and mountains and in, on and underwater.

Workable, adaptable safety is essential for everyone to come away safely from a successful production. We have overseen and supported productions for many years helping make them a safe success. To name drop but a few below:

Our work has found us putting camera crews on the most remote offshore islands, 40 nautical miles offshore in big seas, safely shooting feeding frenzies with very large whales while free diving and filming, sending celebrities off on many unique new challenges and rigging venues to put cameras in places that would challenge the birds! Flexibility with the ability to work with the crews and producers along with being able to think outside the box has made us one of the leading outdoor production support teams in the UK.

Give us a challenge and we will create a workable solution!

Where there can be lots of moving parts during an event we can manage the environment for the crew, cameras and contestants to make the shoots as safe as possible. No matter what the environment is, we are at home in the outdoors and able to provide events in remote locations to easily accessible locations where a trained eye is required.

Extreme Wales - saw us put together an epic journey down one of the longest rivers in Wales from source to sea, filming and looking after the safety of the crew and presenters. Having done a great job of this we were then commissioned to support series 2, which saw us plan and support 4 epic adventures on land using bikes, being underground for 16 hrs moving through the UK's largest cave system with the crew, In the air paragliding the length of Offa's Dyke and in the sea taking the crew and presenters through one of the largest tide races in the world.

Wonders of the Celtic Deep (out in 2021/ filmed in 2020) saw us taking on location management and safety for the crews to film in some of the worlds most challenging water around the coast of Wales successfully filming what most productions would only attempt to film in hot clear waters abroad. We were able to work from boats and ships diving, free diving, kayaking, canoeing, coasteering and providing rope access to shoot the smallest and largest animals that inhabit the world's oceans, travelling through and/or living in UK waters.

Examples have seen us setting up safe challenges over many years for all kinds of productions along with getting crews in remote places so they can share the epic environment with people in the warmth of their houses, inspiring generations.

Don't Rock the Boat - saw us come up with land challenges from Lands End to Reiff in the top of Scotland. Working with the production team, we found locations, gained access and designed with the crew challenges down waterfalls, over the edge of cliffs, from mainland to islands and scaling cliffs. This also involved some very unique out of the norm moving and static camera positions.

I’m a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here 2020 - again working with the production to find a workable location and set challenges for the celebrities along with getting the cameras and crews in the correct positions to allow for successful filming.

Extreme Wales - Running and filming on the rugged mountains, exploring the largest cave systems of the UK with presenters and crew, setting the highest mountain bike trail in Wales while filming and keeping the crew and presenters safe.

Caraid Ar laith - setting challenges and events for celebrities to encourage learning. This project saw us come up with locations, set up the safe camera locations and support crews.

We have the specialist equipment and the skills to use it, so as to support shoots in all kinds of outdoor environments. The equipment we hold is the best and most practical to help make the production safe and successful.

What we don't hold ourselves we have access to from climbing equipment, diving equipment, underwater photography equipment, kayaks to helicopters and ships and ribs to name a few things.
