If you haven’t seen it already, this is the video uploaded by a group of friends travelling around Scotland tombstoning, which has been in the news recently and branded as a ‘map’ of jumping sites.

Having watched the video I think they give a good account of themselves; wearing wetsuits, life vests and sometimes helmets. During the 8 minute clip they can also be seen with flippers and goggles, checking out the areas they are jumping in to.

The video, inspired by the award winning Gravity Chasers is just another example of people doing something they enjoy, but understanding it can be dangerous and doing what they can to minimise the risks.

Radio 1 have published the video they joined us to make on Tuesday last week.

After years of using a trusty 35mm Canon Sureshot waterproof camera, it finally died and needed replacing. The replacement (a Vivitar ViviCam6200W) promised video as well as high res still images; and although I’m not as impressed as I hoped I would be, it’s not a bad start to our waterproof video recording.

In this video (in order of appearance):
> Ben Norton – 30ft jump
> Natalie Hole – 30ft jump
> Dan Brown – 40ft jump
> Ben Norton – 15ft handstand
