00:00This is really nice guys.
00:15Sir, my name's Tim.
00:17My name's Gary Rutherford. How are you doing?
00:19I'm well and how's it going on today?
00:21It was painful but fun.
00:23It's our first attempt at a High Rocks together and it might be our last.
00:30It was an amazing event. It's our first time doing it but today was I suppose extra special.
00:36Our very good friend passed away last week, Colin, and we were doing it in memory of him.
00:41So although it was our first, it had a very special meeting today.
00:44So we're delighted we did it. I think we did it for out.
00:46Yeah, I think we did Colin for out today.
00:53So obviously my background with Arc Fitness is an addiction recovery of fitness.
00:56To see so many people engage in physical activity and exercise on a Saturday rather than out drinking and stuff like that.
01:03It's really good to see. The atmosphere is brilliant.
01:06Everybody's happy and in good form.
01:08Maybe a bit dying but it's really nice to see. There should be loads more things like this here.
01:12Yeah, the Arc Philosophy says motion changes emotion.
01:16And if you look around, there are so many smiling faces today.
01:19It doesn't just change the attitude of the athlete.
01:22It changes the environment. It changes the atmosphere.
01:24And it's a really beautiful moment to see.
01:26Not just spectators but there's families and there's athletes all enjoying the experience today.
01:32Great day for the city and a great day for sport in general.
01:35Thank you Andrew.
01:51Is your chef Lee?
01:52I'm Corey Lewis.
01:53This is Gary from Ghana as well.
01:55What I'm doing today so I'm pretty glad I thought.
01:57And where are you from?
01:59So from Derry myself but myself and him were teachers over in England.
02:03So because the High Rocks is on here in Derry I thought I'd come over and get involved.
02:07And the hometown always nice to bring some people over as well.
02:09I'm always friends with me as well.
02:11I saw you came home and just to compete.
02:13I came over and I saw her just thanks for the summer all as teachers here.
02:15So we all came over to get involved in the event of the city.
02:18It was nice to bring some people to everybody as well.
02:20It's a good idea.
02:21And tell you what, what were you doing here today anyway?
02:23So getting involved in the High Rocks competition you know so it's great.
02:27And Derry's always been a city full of exercise.
02:30So I'm glad to see High Rocks taking over here too.
02:32And bringing the atmosphere, a great crowd.
02:34And such a lovely event on the other day.
02:36How do you feel you got on today?
02:38Aye, I enjoyed it aye.
02:39So it's the first time I've done a double today.
02:41I did a single one a few months back you know.
02:43So a double is a lot easier.
02:44That's how you do each other one.
02:46But still good.
