Green Bridge of Wales, Pembroke – Video

A visit to peerless Pembroke over the August Bank Holiday where our team were finally rewarded with excellent weather so finally the opportunity arose to climb and film on probably the most spectacular natural sea arch in the United Kingdom called the Green Bridge of Wales. Formed from carboniferous limestone over the centuries and a popular visitor attraction, this has been a long planned Bald Eagle Production filming mission and it was great to team up with local devotees Henry and Paul, alongside my mates Sorcha and SJ for a re-ascent of the first ever route put up on the arch in 1982 called Isambard’s Kingdom which goes at a modest but very photogenic HVS. If you look closely you can also spot quick cameo’s from Dan Mcmanus and James Mchaffie relaxing apres-climb after putting up a new route on the East side of the arch, plus Maddy Cope and Wideboy Pete climbing on the adjacent “Bridgess” which goes at a trifling E5 6b…

Anyway the entertainment was duly recorded and this short video features the usual flora + fauna, honking seals, horizontal belaying, brain-melting exposure and some aerial drone footage of one of the most spectacular landmarks of Pembroke, indeed the whole of Wales.
