ULSTER RIVERS CAUGHT ON CAMERA #Freshwaters

The Fresh Waters campaign is asking local people and visitors to the Drumaheglis, Belturbet, Portglenone and Kilrea areas to capture their adventures along the Lower Bann and River Erne on film, and be in with the chance of winning a digital video camcorder worth up to £200. Whether it is by bike, trekking around the walking paths, on a boat or among your local amenities, Fresh Waters wants you to capture the natural beauty, stunning landscapes and key attractions within the four Fresh Water towns.

This is a chance for you to showcase the unique features within your local area and encourage locals, tourists and the wider community to come and visit. Capture up to 5 minutes of your adventure on your smartphone or video camera and email through to freshwaters@rumourmillpr.co. Alternatively, you can submit your photographs accompanied with details of your adventure. The best videos will appear on the official Fresh Waters You Tube channel and one lucky winner be selected.

One reporter, producer, presenter and director, who knows what the Bann has to offer is Darryl Grimason. Speaking about his recent filming antics along the Lower Bann he says: “I know the Lower Bann really well, as an angler and small boat owner. It is an astonishingly powerful river, particularly in winter, when Lough Beg swells with floodwater and thousands of wildfowl, fleeing the frozen north.

“It’s simply spectacular then but I got to know the entire river even better this summer while making Riverland: a new three-part series for BBCNI. Riverland follows the Lagan, Blackwater and Bann from source to sea – in the company of people, places and creatures that make each river so unique.”
