« on: 17:21:19, 18/02/17 »
Was flicking through the TV channels and noticed a series of 5 TV shows called "Mountain" next week on BBC2 with Griff Rhys Jones that might be off interest to some.

On Monday 2.25pm BBC2 it's called Northern Scotland
On Tuesday 2.25pm The Lakes
On Wednesday 2.35pm it's Central Highlands
On Thursday 2.25pm it's The Pennines
On Friday 2.25 it's Wales

Only found it by accident myself  O0 Unusual time for this kind of programme, didn't know if it had been shown before.

There's a book by of the same name to accompany the series, too, but in case anyone was thinking of buying it, I personally don't recommend it.
I borrowed it from the library and returned it in just a few days. Although it is divided into chapters matching the tv programme, each is filled with a mis-matched jumble of excerpts and paragraphs, some repeating what has been shown on the screen and some with expanded information. The book simply did not 'flow' and I found it a most dissatisfying read.
Sorry, Griff!

A better show is "Blencathra,a year on a mountain".Brilliant.I think there are others in the series.

Watched the first episode earlier, quite entertaining and very scenic.

Sorry if I was posting old news because it's been shown before but it was made originally in 2007 and many people, like myself hadn't seen it before  O0

I had seen it before but am glad you posted as I'd completely forgotten about it and would never have spotted it was on mid-afternoon.
