Long Mynd Adventure Stock Footage Preview
The Long Mynd: Shropshire's Wild Heart
The Long Mynd is a magnificent heathland plateau in the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It’s a landscape of rolling hills and vast open spaces, often dotted with wild ponies and sheep. The ground cover is a beautiful mix of heather and gorse, providing rich textures and colours that change with the seasons. It’s a place that feels wild and remote, yet is accessible enough for memorable adventures.
Our trip, captured in this pack, truly showcases the beauty of the Long Mynd. The 55 tripod video clips immerse you in the hike and the environment. You’ll see us walking amidst the ground cover, the heather, and the gorse, with long grass swaying gently. The wild ponies roaming freely are a constant, charming presence – grazing, walking, or simply standing in the breeze. I even included shots of sheep bones, a poignant reminder of nature's cycle.
Campsite Life: Simple Pleasures, Lasting Memories
The heart of any wild camping trip lies in the moments at the pitch. This pack includes footage of us setting up camp, the boys getting involved and messing around, putting in tent pegs. It's genuine family camping. As dusk falls, the illuminated tent glows softly against the twilight, a cosy beacon in the vast landscape. Dawn brings incredible views of the rolling hills and valleys under beautiful blue skies.
And of course, there’s the food! You’ll see us cooking sausages on a gas camping stove with a frying pan, with those amazing views of the hills in the background, contrasting with the sizzle of the sausages. There are tent POV shots, moments of packing the car and getting ready – all those little details that build the story of a real outdoor adventure.
The five timelapse sequences in the pack are particularly special, showing clouds rolling majestically over the Long Mynd with shadows moving below, capturing the dynamic beauty of the landscape over time.
