“Just checking that all is okay for tomorrow?” Nigel asked Ian the day before the shoot. “The forecast is looking okay but slightly uncertain, with the Met Office showing the conditions to be mainly dry with the chance of the odd shower and partly cloudy throughout; with the mountaintops likely to be clear of cloud. Besides, I’m off to Italy the day after, so it’s now or never!”

Final arrangements made, the two met in the picturesque village of Talybont-on-Usk, Nigel’s base in the heart of the national park.
