BBC Radio Scotland is devoting this week’s Conversation Zone to the subject of mountains. Over five and half hours of broadcasting, the marathon radio session will see contributions from Stephen Venables, Chris Bonnington, Joe Simpson, Mark Beaument and Jamie Andrew. There will also be a special feature on mountain rescue dogs, and programmes about Dave Whalley’s 37 years involvement with mountain rescue and Geoff Monk on mountain weather.
The programmes start at midnight on Thursday 10 June, but for non-night owls it is also available on the BBC I Player. For more information and a running order see the website.
