Chris Hall Media Finished PR Campaign for NHS

CHRIS HALL MEDIA

Chris Hall Media our sister company has just completed a 6 month contract to take pictures of Get Active's activities. These involved walking tours, Cycling Tours, Teaching cycling skills at schools and even salsa dancing. The pictures were built up over the 6 month period and were always provided in both hard and soft copies. The NHS have used them in the PR campaign they are conducting and were very satisfied.

We could do the same for you, in both moving and still footage. What ever activity your doing or conducting. Why not use us next time your organisation wants to conduct an adventurous activity. We can run the event and record it!

Outward Bound First Aid

Straight after Kenya we were straight back into teaching cycling at schools for GET ACTIVE part of the NHS PCT Durham and Darlington. Then later in the week we taught Outdoor First Aid to NHS Walk leaders. Its a first aid course which is designed for someone who works outdoors. It involves learning how to read maps, to keep your team safe in bad weather and how to find where an ambulance can get to and where to meet it. It also has lessons on how to use emergency shelters and the normal CPR training. Its an impressive package and at 60.00 per person a real bargain too!

Thrills and Skills in Kenya

Thrills and Skills have been in the Kenyan bush. We have taken a party through the bush and taught the group a lot of survival skills. W e also picked up a fair few too! We made water stills and burnt elephant poo! its not as strange as it sounds, you see it burns well for your fire and keeps mosquitos away. we walked and drove over 200 miles through the bush and learn't and experienced a great deal. We walked straight into the path of a buffalo. You have to back away slowly and get on to high ground. Its different with elephants, If a mother is with her babies she will feel threatened and charge. You cannot out run an elephant you have to drop items of your kit to sidetrack the elephant and then it takes its anger out on the kit.

We greatly respect nature and the wildlife and kept clear of it and watched from a safe distance, it was wonderful and we will never forget the experience.
