Secret Britain heads to Glencoe
The epic journey across Britain being undertaken for the BBC’s Secret Britain series comes north of the border on Sunday’s programme as Julia Bradbury and Matt Baker explore Glencoe, Corrour and the Uists.
Matt will take the West Highland line to Corrour, Britain’s most remote railway station and the starting point for a number of hill and long distance through routes. Julia will be in Glencoe exploring the Lost Valley (Coire Gabhail) and finding out about the history of the area. The programme is broadcast on BBC 1 on Sunday 5 September at 9pm and will also be available on the iPlayer.

I caught up with the programme as Julia was exploring Glen Coe and from then on it was a great representation of exactly what Scotland has to offer for those willing to leave the car behind. Matt Baker was also well suited and at Carrour he seemed to be overcome by the wilderness and beauty of Rannoch Moor. The sea loch at Glen Etive was
at its best. Top marks for the whole programme. We recently had a beautiful report from one of the walk highlands members who had undertaken the walk to Cape Wrath and wild camping all the way but also taking in the many bothy’s that provide shelter ( I can see a whole new TV programme to ‘Bothy’s of Scotland’) which only enhanced your programme as some of his photographs were of that final part of Julia and Matt’s walk….I’m off to pack the rucksack and head off continuing my quest for monro’s. Any chance of a follow up?
