ITV Westcountry were in Bideford this week, filming a series of pieces about our wonderful Tarka Trail . We were lucky with the glorious weather this time around, filming having been postponed from last week due to the dull weather - we wanted to show it at its best. Here is Andy Bell, of The North Devon Biosphere Reserve, being interviewed by Seth Conway, well-known for his TV work and hosting of Bideford's new year's eve events. He is seen here doubling as lighting assistant, holding the reflector!
The final shots of us riding over Iron Bridge, near Landcross, required communication by mobile phone, as this 'long shot' was really long - the cameraman was on Landcross bridge over the river Yeo. Yes there really is another River Yeo, a smaller cousin to the one in Barnstaple. This one rises near Buck's Cross on the A39 and flows into the River Torridge by Iron Bridge, upstream of Bideford.

Afterwards, the team moved on to The Puffing Billy Trading Co. near Torrington for further interviews and, no doubt, for some delicious snacks.
