At the end of last month ultra runner and filmmaker James Norbury became trapped by fire while trail running on Table Mountain outside Cape Town in South Africa. The news of his mountain rescue was reported on various media outlets, but now Norbury has posted footage of the incident which brings the horrifying events to life in way those initial reports could barely hint at.
When you hear Norbury gasp, “This fire is chasing me!” on the soundtrack you are left in no doubt that he’s not over-egging things for the sake of making his clip look more dramatic – you can tell that he’s genuinely beginning to fear for his life.
