First BASE jump from Sron Ulladale

Earlier this month, skydiver and BASE jumper, Simon Brentford completed the first ever BASE jump from Sron Ulladale on Harris in the Outer Hebrides. The massive overhanging crag was climbed on live TV by Dave Macleod and Tim Emmett for the BBC’s “The Great Climb” and the programme provided the inspiration for Simon, who had previously never ventured north of Stirling, to tackle the BASE jump.

The jump was filmed by Adam Bibby and can be seen here.
