Heads up on a new series over the summer (date not confirmed) which
will broadcast on BBC1 and BBCHD

Mountain
Griff Rhys-Jones is travelling the length of the UK on the country's
highest mountain peaks. It's a journey that takes him to Wales, The
Lake District, The Pennines, Central Scotland and the North West
Highlands of Scotland. Griff also meets the real experts who live and
work at altitude, and discovers the big moments in the history of the
UK's mountains.

Thanks. Please give us an update when you hear any dates. 🙂

Hope it's better than the recent 'Wainwright' offering. Personally, I
think they should bring back the Munro Show. I still haven't seen
anything on TV to beat it. What is Muriel doing these days?.

Considering she was the first to get on to the TV "hillwalking" bandwagon,
I'm not surprised;-)

As for where she is? Glasgow and not a TV "personallity" now.

How do you get BBC HD?

NC

Sign up for High Definition package from Sky -
slightly more per month
need a new decoder box (purchase) and alteration to cabling to wok on
the wall
obviously need an HD compliant telly. [Needs 2 cables going from decoder
box to wok instead of one]
BUT to get all the HD programmes (sports and film need to pay yet more
monies)

watching a travel doc in HD - waterfall or nature prog is absolutely
fantastic.
But there are a growing number of HD progs available.
