The Long Hope | Film

Hot Aches Productions film by Paul Diffley, following Dave MacLeod's attempt with Andy Turner to climb St John's Head on Hoy in a day, finishing up a new, harder final pitch. [1] It contrasts this with Ed Drummond and Oliver Hill's seven-day first ascent in 1970, and follows Drummond, by then living with Parkinson's disease, on a return visit to the cliff. [1] [2]
