Has anyone been watching that Mountain programme with Griff Rhys Jones?

[saltire]

I ahve only seen last weeks and last nights. I really enjoyed it though> alst week he was on the Scottish mountain ranges - Ben Nevis, Glencoe, Cairngorms. This week he was on the Pennines. He must be quite phiysically fit though as he was yomping up the mountains like a pro

[wotsits]

DH and I have. DH is getting inspired - he has visions of us traipsing up these mountains with DD in a backpack. The thought of it exhausts me... The photography is wonderful, and as I keep pointing out to DH, we wouldn't get those great aerial views if we went on foot

[Meeely2]

i'm loving it - need a week off to explore definitely!

[Whizzz]

Yes its suprisingly good isn't it. I love walking but hate going up hills

[Blandmum]

yes it is fantastic.

I sat next to him in a reasturant in Dorchester earlier on this year. He is rather weatherbeaten, but still rather attractive.

[saltire]

I don't actually "get" mountaineering. The mountains in Scotland - Nevis range, Glencoe etc are stunning, but IMO, for sitting at the bottom looking up, not for actually climbing them

[tissy]

....attractive and VERY rich, mb!

[Blandmum]

He ordered chicken and a diet coke, so he wasn't flash with his cash!

[Kathyis6incheshigh]

He has a beautiful classic yacht too.

[Blandmum]

have you read 'to the baltic with Bob'? V funny

[Kathyis6incheshigh]

Yes MB.
We were particularly amused by the fact that even if you are very very rich indeed, like GRJ, you still have to get up in the night to stick a bit of binliner over the leaky bit that is dripping onto your bunk in the night.

[Blandmum]

I didn't see the size of his Yacht, as we were in a public place

[Blandmum]

Thisnk tha he is making a new series about Thomas Hardy

[Blandmum]

Well, I might have glanced a bit.

He was waering the waterproof jacket that he had on in last nights prog. Dh and I commented on it, how sad are we!?

[saltire]

MB - how was your trip round Scotland? Did you go to F&D's and get doughnuts?

[UnquietDad]

Saw it for the first time last night. Is it always shot on OB videotape? Looks very old-fashioned!

[expatinscotland]

I loved this series! Was dead jealous he got to climb with all those seriously hardcore people !

He got to climb with Johnny Dawes! That bastard.

[saltire]

I never knew there was a railway to the top of Snowdon. There's hope for Dh getting me to go up a mountain then!

[foxinsocks]

I didn't know that about the railway either. I caught it on TV last night (nothing else on!). Thought I wouldn't enjoy it but ended up watching the whole thing. Was quite fascinating in a Sunday night TV way.

[Kbear]

I love a mountain me. But looking up at them too. Glencoe ah bliss. Buchaille Etive Mhor is my favourite.
