:00:00. > :00:00.In the next half an hour. Has Tyneside marathon man Tony the
:00:07. > :00:17.Fridge finally reached the end of the road? It terrifies me the
:00:18. > :00:19.thought that I cannot run for a while.
:00:20. > :00:25.The road to Rothbury is now a dead end. Can we predict where the next
:00:26. > :00:29.landslide will be? This is the line of the road. Six months ago, the
:00:30. > :00:33.line of the road was up here. Raising the roof in Cumbria, how a
:00:34. > :00:42.BBC orchestra is helping amateurs strike the right chord. There's only
:00:43. > :00:45.one thing better. When my wife was having a baby.
:00:46. > :00:59.Stories from the heart of the North East Cumbria. This is Inside Out.
:01:00. > :01:05.Power and speed plus a whole heap of determination are what's needed to
:01:06. > :01:09.finish a marathon. So imagine what Tony Morrison has!
:01:10. > :01:13.The South Tyneside charity runner has done the distance dozens of
:01:14. > :01:17.times with a fridge strapped to his back.
:01:18. > :01:19.But he's just had some chilling news that means Tony the Fridge may be
:01:20. > :01:36.stopped in his tracks. When you try it on, you realise
:01:37. > :01:40.nobody can be obsessed with putting it on. It never ceases to amaze me
:01:41. > :01:43.how painful it is to carry about. You do not get used to it. It is
:01:44. > :01:46.traumatic. Tony Morrison is an endurance
:01:47. > :01:48.runner. He's become famous for completing impossible`sounding
:01:49. > :01:54.challenges, each one more gruelling than the last, with a 42 kilo fridge
:01:55. > :01:57.strapped to his back. But his most recent adventure may have been a
:01:58. > :02:02.fridge too far. The morning after the Great North Run, Tony couldn't
:02:03. > :02:13.walk. He was in excruciating pain in his back and leg.
:02:14. > :02:24.So what's gone wrong? I have come here today and the outcome will
:02:25. > :02:31.probably be that they cannot run for a while. I thought, let's go for a
:02:32. > :02:36.run. I am terrified if I am honest. It terrifies me the thought that I
:02:37. > :02:40.cannot run for a bit. The results are in but it's not what
:02:41. > :02:45.he expected But if it wasn't his back, why was he in such pain?
:02:46. > :02:54.This is a fairly unusual. If you scanned somebody who was 16, that is
:02:55. > :03:03.what you would expect it to look like. The lumbar spine of a
:03:04. > :03:11.16`year`old. It is skidded to look at your own spine. It is not a good
:03:12. > :03:18.feeling. Fortunately, the hard shell of muscle from the exercise has
:03:19. > :03:25.protected it enough. I am chuffed with that. So, what is the problem?
:03:26. > :03:34.We will be with him later when he finds out. I think I have run about
:03:35. > :03:38.2500 miles with the fridge. Just think for a moment about what
:03:39. > :03:42.Tony the Fridge has done: 30 Great North Runs in 30 days. 40 Marathons
:03:43. > :03:46.in 40 days. And less than a week later, the Great North Run that left
:03:47. > :03:53.him unable to walk. Even his biggest supporter tried to call a halt on
:03:54. > :04:02.his very first challenge. It was about the 11 mile mark, just before
:04:03. > :04:08.you see him and the great North run. It had rained. He was wearing his
:04:09. > :04:14.trainers which help you go on the front foot. He was sliding. He was
:04:15. > :04:24.not as fit as he thought he was. He looked absolutely shocking.
:04:25. > :04:28.But it's not until you strap on the fridge yourself that you realise
:04:29. > :04:49.just how bonkers it really is. Can you feel it? Yes. I do not know
:04:50. > :04:53.how you do this. Tony's raised ?90,000 in total for
:04:54. > :05:01.the Sir Bobby Robson foundation. But why does he put himself through such
:05:02. > :05:08.punishment? It is not really about the fridge. It was about a burden. I
:05:09. > :05:16.felt the loss of the people I left the cancer. I felt the burden of
:05:17. > :05:19.that and still do. When you have people taken away from you through
:05:20. > :05:23.illness or sudden death, it stays with you for ever. I have always
:05:24. > :05:28.been carrying that burden. This agony I have gone through with the
:05:29. > :05:31.fridge does not go near losing people that I loved.
:05:32. > :05:39.But perhaps the defining moment was when his dad was killed in a car
:05:40. > :05:43.crash when tony was just 12. I found myself hiding under the bed for long
:05:44. > :05:56.spells at a day at a time. I forgot where I was. This one`day, I just
:05:57. > :06:04.started running and I ran and ran all the way, stop and start, the
:06:05. > :06:13.Hexham. The way a use to camp with my father. It is a powerful
:06:14. > :06:19.metaphor. This feeling I got went running was that I was not anywhere.
:06:20. > :06:24.I never knew where I was going. I'd did not consider that. I did not
:06:25. > :06:35.want to look back the way I had been. I kind of lived in the now. It
:06:36. > :06:38.was about giving inspiration to people who are fighting cancer.
:06:39. > :06:45.Loaded up on painkillers, and against the advice of his physio,
:06:46. > :06:52.Tony's fridge schedule continues. It pulls you back words.
:06:53. > :06:55.A half`time appearance at his beloved St James Park exposes Tony
:06:56. > :06:59.to a captive audience for his message.
:07:00. > :07:03.But Tony's injury has not gone away and he's still in great pain. A
:07:04. > :07:20.second MRI scan, this time on his legs, reveals all. Both hips. You
:07:21. > :07:36.can see the signal there. You should not rule out the possibility of a
:07:37. > :07:41.stress fracture. A hard day today. Tony has a fractured femur. He can
:07:42. > :07:53.trace it to the first week of his 40 marathon challenge. In the blackness
:07:54. > :07:58.of the night with no street lights, I stepped off the ardour of the
:07:59. > :08:03.tarmac and I came to on the roadside having knocked myself out. If Feds
:08:04. > :08:11.had knocked me out no doubtful sub it was the angle of how I felt,
:08:12. > :08:16.having stepped into this hole. He would ring me up at night in. I
:08:17. > :08:25.would speak to him as she was going along the road.
:08:26. > :08:37.This means he ran over 30 marathons carrying the fridge and a broken
:08:38. > :08:43.leg. Does it not strike you at how mad it is? Yes. We knew it had to be
:08:44. > :08:47.something pretty serious for the amount of pain he was in.
:08:48. > :08:52.Tony will now have to rest up for months while his injury heals. Where
:08:53. > :09:04.does he go then? I wanted to Kilimanjaro. With the fridge M? Yes.
:09:05. > :09:08.As soon as I can convince them, I will do Kilimanjaro will stop a
:09:09. > :09:11.wanted the great Wall of China. Tony's physical and mental endurance
:09:12. > :09:14.are extraordinary, and he's done some amazing things. But by his own
:09:15. > :09:22.admission, he doesn't always listen to his own body. So is this a man
:09:23. > :09:29.who just doesn't know where to stop? If you are going to be in pain and
:09:30. > :09:38.agony, you'd make as well finish it. Who can tell you to stop? They
:09:39. > :09:40.probably isn't anybody, if I am honest.
:09:41. > :09:44.I've more on Tony the Fridge on my blog, with some unseen footage I
:09:45. > :10:02.think you'll enjoy. Just head to bbc.co.uk/chrisjackson. Still to
:10:03. > :10:03.come. Will a musical celebration in Cumbria be in tune for the big
:10:04. > :10:15.event? Absolute rubbish. A landslip has taken out one of the
:10:16. > :10:18.main roads into Rothbury and the Northumberland town won't get the
:10:19. > :10:26.route back until next year at the earliest? We call them an act of
:10:27. > :10:33.God. Marie Ashby has been following the expert team who are attempting
:10:34. > :10:38.to predict the future. Landslides make the news and they have made the
:10:39. > :10:48.news more often than before recently. They closed roads, tear up
:10:49. > :10:55.pipelines, buckle railways. And landslides can kill. I looked up, he
:10:56. > :10:59.said, and saw the cliff face collapse. People were telling us
:11:00. > :11:16.don't go there. It is a year since the Blackman
:11:17. > :11:24.family from Derbyshire came to Dorset on holiday. 22`year`old
:11:25. > :11:27.Charlotte had graduated with a first`class honours degree from
:11:28. > :11:37.Derby University. She was planning a in teaching. She was a happy and
:11:38. > :11:47.jolly person. Everybody's friend. That was her motto. The first I knew
:11:48. > :11:56.of a landslide was a fisherman shouting. I looked up and all I
:11:57. > :12:01.could see were friends running up towards me to say Charlotte was
:12:02. > :12:17.under the rock is. When it came down, my dad but the rocks nearly
:12:18. > :12:32.got my leg. I saw Charlotte. She had her head back and down. My feet were
:12:33. > :12:43.bleeding. It was horrible. If you days after we filmed, another
:12:44. > :12:47.section of the cliff. At the British Geological Survey, experts have been
:12:48. > :12:52.measuring landslides across the UK for nearly 30 years. This year the
:12:53. > :12:58.grafts are telling them something odd is going on. Last summer we saw
:12:59. > :13:10.a fourfold increase. And then we saw a sixfold increase. In March we saw
:13:11. > :13:17.a fourfold increase in events. What is making the difference, why such
:13:18. > :13:20.huge changes? It is partly to do with rainfall, we have seen a
:13:21. > :13:28.significant rainfall in the summer and winter. These are contributing
:13:29. > :13:32.to the landslide events. Changing weather patterns don't just affect
:13:33. > :13:43.crops, they shape the crops under our feet. It was a wet year 47 years
:13:44. > :13:48.ago as well. A generation perished in Aberfan. Nearly 200 children,
:13:49. > :13:54.happy because they were beginning holidays,
:13:55. > :14:00.happy because they were beginning Britain woke up to the dangers of
:14:01. > :14:05.landslides. The task of rescue operated with speed. It looked
:14:06. > :14:11.impossible and hopeless. These men are minors, their children were
:14:12. > :14:15.buried. Before Aberfan, it was no 1's responsibility to monitor the
:14:16. > :14:18.sites. The National coal board claimed no one could have predicted
:14:19. > :14:24.what happened. The enquiry heard there were plenty of warning signs
:14:25. > :14:32.and the coal board were to blame. It was a disaster that should never
:14:33. > :14:36.have happened. After ABBA van, we began monitoring landslides notches
:14:37. > :14:44.Nicole fields but across the country. This is sharing the road.
:14:45. > :14:48.It is progressing all the time. Sean Rennick and his family had big plans
:14:49. > :14:54.when they bought the farm near Rothbury. On Boxing Day, the road
:14:55. > :14:58.running past their front door began to disappear. Helen and her
:14:59. > :15:09.landslide response team wants to find out why. We cannot get the kids
:15:10. > :15:17.to school very easily. It is six miles around. We are renovating the
:15:18. > :15:23.farm to work on a sustainable basis. We have woodland and will cut off.
:15:24. > :15:29.The road runs along a hill beside a river, there have been landslides
:15:30. > :15:33.here before but never this bad. This is the line of the road, six months
:15:34. > :15:39.ago the line of the road was up here. The council has dug 24
:15:40. > :15:45.boreholes to find out what's going on underground. We have just opened
:15:46. > :15:50.this up. We are working towards constructing landslide maps which
:15:51. > :15:56.help people know when they are planning future developments so the
:15:57. > :16:01.information we collect here can help us refine the maps as to where
:16:02. > :16:06.landslides might appear. The ground is so unstable, the road is unlikely
:16:07. > :16:11.to reopen until 2015. In the meantime, visitors travelling to and
:16:12. > :16:17.from Rothbury are diverted over the moors adding four miles to their
:16:18. > :16:23.journey. If we lived in the South, it may be more action but it is
:16:24. > :16:29.funding and money. The Northeast gets left behind. It has a huge
:16:30. > :16:34.impact on the village. It makes you wonder how they can rebuild in Japan
:16:35. > :16:42.and it takes as three years. It must be finance. There is in the
:16:43. > :16:50.finance. It is not good enough. It is bad enough on the moors but when
:16:51. > :16:55.it gets frosty and snowy, it will be laid difficult. Predicting
:16:56. > :17:00.landslides isn't easy, particularly on Britain's crumbling coast. A
:17:01. > :17:09.member of the public has reported a cliff fall at Tynemouth. The team go
:17:10. > :17:14.to investigate. This instrument sends out a pulse of laser light so
:17:15. > :17:23.we then have a detailed 3`D model of the Bay and it is in its correct
:17:24. > :17:27.orientation on the map. The hope is that the new technology will allow
:17:28. > :17:29.the team to predict the future, linking geology and whether to
:17:30. > :17:38.bridges are daily landslide forecast. RU hoping in future you
:17:39. > :17:43.can do more to predict landslides and give more warnings? Yes, we are
:17:44. > :17:48.hoping we can provide hazard reports to the authorities for organisations
:17:49. > :17:55.and the public and the media to help them plan so the landslides can be
:17:56. > :18:01.avoided. Back in Dorset, Charlotte's family hope to move the
:18:02. > :18:06.bench closer to home. There are too many unhappy memories here. The
:18:07. > :18:13.coastal path is closed but people still walk along the beach below the
:18:14. > :18:17.cliffs. They are not aware. It is not the first thing they think about
:18:18. > :18:22.on holiday. They think of lying on the beach, they do not think to stay
:18:23. > :18:29.away from the cliffs because it's dangerous. Something you take the
:18:30. > :18:33.granted, that you will be safe but you should be aware, definitely. We
:18:34. > :18:39.will never holiday at a place with the cliffs. You do not think it will
:18:40. > :18:47.happen to you. You need to be aware it could. It can take years to
:18:48. > :18:51.master a musical instrument. But how about trying to learn in a few
:18:52. > :18:54.months and then performing in front of a huge crowd? That's the
:18:55. > :19:00.challenge 80 volunteers in Cumbria signed up to. But how did it sound?
:19:01. > :19:14.Cumbria's towns and hills are alive with the sound of music. Excuse me,
:19:15. > :19:23.it isn't helpful if you're playing in a different key. You do not have
:19:24. > :19:30.to play all the time. Come on! You should have come in ten ours ago. I
:19:31. > :19:36.cannot read music. I have never played a musical instrument before.
:19:37. > :19:47.If you don't know what you're doing, you play eight notes and you will
:19:48. > :19:55.blend in! Two, three, four! No, we do not go onto the next chord.
:19:56. > :19:58.Absolute rubbish! Is this the most stressful job in Cumbria? In just
:19:59. > :20:00.two weeks Barry has to turn this bunch of enthusiastic musical
:20:01. > :20:02.amateurs into Cumbria's Community Orchestra performing in front of 600
:20:03. > :20:19.people. Some people have played years ago
:20:20. > :20:23.and found the instrument in the cupboard and brought it in. Some
:20:24. > :20:27.people have been learning for only a few months. The challenge has been
:20:28. > :20:30.to make something where everyone can contribute.
:20:31. > :20:33.The orchestra is the idea of BBC Radio Cumbria, created to celebrate
:20:34. > :20:37.the station's 40th birthday. Adam took up the double bass in January,
:20:38. > :20:51.and there's a good reason he's late this morning. My toast! My toast!
:20:52. > :20:52.Adam and his punk band "Dog Sick" were playing their first paid gig in
:20:53. > :21:12.Workington. It is just the energy! Everything is
:21:13. > :21:21.so fast forward. Jumping about, getting naked, jumping on tables,
:21:22. > :21:26.crazy dancing. Chaos. We need to take a break, people are tired. But
:21:27. > :21:28.help is at hand, members of the prestigious BBC Philharmonic
:21:29. > :21:37.Orchestra are mentoring the volunteers. On the double bass is
:21:38. > :21:45.Alice. It is going pretty well so far. Early days. I have add habits
:21:46. > :21:51.from the punk band. She said keep it more organised. Bad habits die hard.
:21:52. > :21:53.And it's here in Salford at Media City that the BBC Philharmonic are
:21:54. > :21:59.based. On the big night they will perform
:22:00. > :22:11.in Whitehaven alongside the community orchestra. To get out to
:22:12. > :22:16.Whitehaven is great for us and it is the sort of places the orchestra
:22:17. > :22:18.should be going too to make music. Ivor's specially composed the
:22:19. > :22:29.opening fanfare for the concert and it's also a trip with nostalgic
:22:30. > :22:33.significance. Born and bred in Carlisle, my dad still lives there.
:22:34. > :22:42.Great to be back in Whitehaven. Fantastic.
:22:43. > :22:52.# Somewhere over the rainbow... # This is where Geoff and his grand
:22:53. > :23:02.daughter Carenza get their practise in. We normally practice on the way
:23:03. > :23:12.to school. They're part of the 22 strong chorus. We thought let's give
:23:13. > :23:21.it a go and I am glad we made the decision. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
:23:22. > :23:27.And I have. In rehearsal, my bottom note sounds like I am sitting on an
:23:28. > :23:35.elephant. Nell and her Mum Helen from Barrow In Furness have been
:23:36. > :23:38.rehearsing in south Cumbria. She usually plays quietly so you can't
:23:39. > :23:42.hear. Helen's son Issac has Asperger syndrome so joining the orchestra
:23:43. > :23:53.was a chance for her and Nell to have quality time together. Nell
:23:54. > :23:59.gets pushed out of the way. Isaac has special needs, asp urge. It is a
:24:00. > :24:02.nice way to spend a nice way together that isn't autism related.
:24:03. > :24:09.At rehearsals, the orchestra's own take on the Sorcerer's Apprentice is
:24:10. > :24:16.coming together. It is getting better.
:24:17. > :24:19.Back at work Landscape Gardener Adam is playing with his other
:24:20. > :24:21.instruments and with less than a week to go the magic of the
:24:22. > :24:44.orchestra is starting to show. My friends say it is middle`class
:24:45. > :24:49.toffs and posh people but when you go there, it is a different feel. It
:24:50. > :24:54.can be old people, children, from all backgrounds. It will be an
:24:55. > :24:58.awesome day for Whitehaven. It's the big day, and the south
:24:59. > :25:07.Cumbrians are on their way to meet their friends in Whitehaven.
:25:08. > :25:13.I am nervous but excited. This is what we have been working for. I am
:25:14. > :25:31.interested to see what it looks like when it is altogether.
:25:32. > :25:36.For me, it is an absolute honour to think we can be part of that for a
:25:37. > :25:52.day. I am so nervous and anxious and
:25:53. > :26:02.nervous at the same time. Bring it on! This is BBC Radio Cumbria life
:26:03. > :26:06.from Whitehaven with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra and the
:26:07. > :26:10.Cumbrian community Orchestra and chorus.
:26:11. > :26:15.Ivor's "Fanfare for Cumbria" gets the evening off to a stirring start,
:26:16. > :26:37.now it's time for the locals to shine.
:26:38. > :26:44.The first minute was so slow. So scary and tension but after that it
:26:45. > :27:02.is surprisingly really good. I was always waiting for it. That
:27:03. > :27:07.was my favourite bit of it. Music is an escape from my everyday life.
:27:08. > :27:08.This gives me something else to talk about other than autism. It's
:27:09. > :27:25.brilliant. Absolutely fantastic, better than I
:27:26. > :27:37.dream that could be. And for some it's just too much.
:27:38. > :27:47.It felt weird because I don't normally do anything like that.
:27:48. > :27:51.There's only one thing better, when your wife is having a baby. That's
:27:52. > :27:53.the only thing better than that. And I've done a lot of things in my
:27:54. > :28:17.time, trust me. Sorry, to my sister if she is
:28:18. > :28:22.watching on TV. You get such a buzz. Everybody is giving 110%. It is
:28:23. > :28:31.electric. Working with them and making things happen. It is an
:28:32. > :28:34.amazing experience. That's a great way to end this current series. If
:28:35. > :28:38.there's something you think we should know about ` well, drop me a
:28:39. > :28:42.line. My contact details are on my blog ` the address is just below me
:28:43. > :28:46.on the screen now. We'll be back with more investigations and stories
:28:47. > :28:47.from the North East and Cumbria in January. Until then, from Shildon,
:28:48. > :29:04.goodnight. Hello, I'm Riz Lateef with your
:29:05. > :29:07.90-second update. Four people are dead after the worst UK storm for
:29:08. > :29:12.years. Hurricane-force conditions left almost half a million homes
