As I mentioned on March 1st, I have been managing James' ankle injury. James returned to filming on 1st April and I followed him to Capetown a few days later, having finished Dean Ashton's work in Portugal.
My role in South Africa was to look at the situation James finds himself on set and to provide a programme of exercises that can be done to maintain and further improve his conditioning.
James and I stayed in a beautiful residence in the shadow of Table Mountain, the balconies and gardens provided an ideal and tranquil location for our rehabilitation work.
Filming requires early starts, we were on the road to our location by 6:30am and didn't arrive back till 8pm. It was a fascinating experience to see the filming of this TV series in such remote locations. The crew were excellent and very receptive to mine and James's needs to work whenever an opportunity arose.
Our second day included moving to a new location ,and would involve a lot more action scenes for James, this gave me an opportunity to liaise with the stunt coordinator. We planned the scenes in order to provide minimal risk to James!
Our final day together was a rest day from filming , but this gave us an opportunity to do an extensive session at the house - again, under the breathtaking back drop.
The whole trip was a fascinating insight into a completely different world for me, and I would relish the opportunity to do it again !
