The armchair walker

BBC will shortly be launching the Ultimate Outdoors Season. Part of the season is a new five part series starting on BBC2 entitled Mountain (Sunday 29th July from 9-10pm). Griff Rhys Jones is the presenter and he begins his exploration of Britain's mountains in the breathtaking wilderness of the northwest highlands of Scotland. I gather that there's also a new series of Wainwright's Walks starting on BBC Four soon. A radio alternative is Ramblings - don't forget that you can listen again to radio programmes in the week after they are broadcast.
