It brought back many memories, particularly the Cuillins. They didn't mention the midges of Sligachan though - worst in the world. There was a Wainwright programme on BBC4 after it and that was pretty good too. Ahhhhhhh....

I didn't see any daleks up there. Oh I forgot, mountain climbing is a right barstard for them, isn't it!Comment

I read reviews that said Mountains was beautiful to watch but spoilt by Griff's narration/dialogue.
Might give it a go next week though.Comment

It was in the immensely tedious Greek Democracy programme with Bethany Hughes or whatever she's called.
Execution of Socrates.
Or something.
There was a particularly interesting bit of defragging going on at that moment.Comment
