After six months of change in the team, we took two days out in Snowdonia to reconnect and reset. It also counts as the Christmas do.
Why we went
The last six months have brought a lot of change to the team. We wanted time together away from the edit suite, somewhere that would give everyone a proper break and a chance to reset before the end of the year.
What we did
Zip World first. Then golf, underground, in a cave. Tom is still the best golfer in the studio, helmet and all.
Then an evening at the lake skimming stones. Josh, Tom and Brendon are all very good at it. Nobody agrees who won.
The drone came too. Old habits.
Why there
We first found this spot while filming for Kevin Riley, a business coach and speaker who draws a lot of his thinking from time in nature. Snowdonia National Park owns less of the land than you might expect, so the permission route we had planned didn’t work. A small campsite agreed to let us park the vehicles, and when we asked how much more land they owned, and whether we could film on it, the answer was yes at a good rate.
You can see the film we made for Kevin here. Going back felt right.
The verdict
I think everybody needs this every now and again, certainly I do.

Thanks to the team, as ever. And yes, it was the Christmas do.
