| MTP/PL001 |  IRON BUTTS • TV series overview: coming to ITV4 in 2008, Iron Butts Med Circle is the world's toughest amateur endurance biking challenge. Led by a celeb team with Carl Fogarty at its head, participants will journey 7,500 miles through fifteen of the world's most diverse, scenic and chaotic countries, as they attempt to circumnavigate the Mediterranean Sea by motorbike in just fifteen days. All teams are just that - teams - and therefore will have to overcome bad navigation and getting lost, flat tyres, mad and bad local drivers, mechanical failure, visa and border issues, running out of fuel and possible cultural issues. Being part of a team will cause arguments and disagreements - who will prevail as group leader? Who will quit after three days on the road? Half the nights will be spent in a tent in the middle of the desert in large groups of tents. Watching the stars from the Sahara has its own sense of romance, but also many practical issues. Which team will cope the best and the worst with the hardship of no running water, loos, cooking on a fire, sleeping rough and avoiding the spiders? If you can imagine the adrenaline fix of riding over the Bosphorus where Europe changes into the Middle East, riding past the pyramids and across the Sahara; if you can imagine dancing the night away in an Algerian nightclub, getting upset and frustrated with your fellow team mates, wanting more than anything to get off your bike and sip a beer when there is still five hours of riding left, then you can imagine just some aspects of the Iron Butts Challenge. For the rest, you'll have to watch it on TV. • Sponsorship opportunity overview: showing next spring at a peak time weekend evening slot, the Iron Butts TV series is a rare opportunity to sponsor a Freeview based adventure and travel series, with true celebrity involvement.

| MTP/PL002 |  SKYSCHOOL AND ADVENTURE EXPEDITIONS Following the successful use of paramotors on a major scientific expedition by the Scientific Exploration Society in the Bolivian Amazonas during 2007, it is proposed to develop the concept of using paramotors and all terrain vehicles, working together on a series of scientific projects. A small team of experts have come together to plan the ventures and they consist of the following individuals: John Blashford Snell, Scientific Exploration Society; Alex Ledger, SkySchool Flight Centre; Alan Morton, Proactive TV. The first expedition is to Botswana and the aim is to research areas of scientific interest as well as support the local community. Proactive TV have agreed to film the expeditions with the aim of placing them on either Channel 4 or the Discovery Channel. The charity Just a Drop has also agreed to support the expedition. These expeditions are clearly advantageous for either a single main sponsor or a variety of different sponsors. "We therefore propose that interested parties should contact us to discuss the options available". Contact: Alex Ledger. Address: Rams Hill Farm, Manston, Sturminster Newton, Dorset DT10 1HD.

| MTP/PL003 |  URBAN EARTH This summer, geographer Daniel Raven-Ellison will walk across seven of Earth's largest cities to produce Urban Earth. "In 2008, the world reaches an invisible but momentous milestone: for the first time in history, more than half its human population, 3.3 billion people, will be living in urban areas. By 2030, this is expected to swell to almost 5 billion. Many of the new urbanites will be poor. Their future, the future of cities in developing countries, the future of humanity itself, all depend very much on decisions made now in preparation for this growth", UN State of the World Population Report 2007. Daniel will capture the year in which Earth's human population turned urban by photographing every one hundred metres of his 700km journey across the metropolitan areas of New York, Sao Paulo, Moscow, Lagos, Mumbai, Jakarta and Tokyo. Presently two television producers have shown interest in following what promises to be an exciting adventure. In addition to capturing the imagination of the general public, Daniel will publish for free the film and photographs along with guidance for teachers to use the resources in schools across the world. Urban Earth promises to be a low cost, high impact opportunity. Offers of sponsorship are now open for Urban Earth. In return for sponsoring Urban Earth sponsors will: 1. have shared copyright over the photographs and final film; 2. have their company name and logo in the film credits; 3. have their company name and logo on the website and educational resources that will be made freely available to teachers and educators around the world; 4. have access to Daniel Raven-Ellison for publicity and marketing opportunities; 5. be the sole sponsor of Urban Earth. "If you have any questions, thoughts or ideas do not hesitate in getting in contact". Contact: Daniel Raven-Ellison. Address: 1 Redhank Court, Pound Lane, Thatcham, Berkshire RG19 3UE.
