Arctic Blast Launch

Island Echo Arctic Blast BlogSolent Co www.solent.co asked me to photograph The new ‘Arctic Blast’ at JR Zone www.jrzone.co.uk in Newport on the 2nd July on the Isle of Wight. I was a little star struck meeting Elsa from Frozen, and managed to squeeze into the children’s play frame and brave the dizzzy heights and see though ‘ice’ walkways while taking photos.

The Island Echo used the photos. http://www.islandecho.co.uk/news/arctic-blast-goes-storm-kids
