After moving permanently to the islands he had always dreamed of, Richard Clubley set out to capture the experience of life on Orkney, from the history of Neolithic sites to a future in renewable energy. He tells stories of countless Orcadians, looks closely at Stone Age tombs and stone circles, and talks about the Arctic explorers who watered here. He takes to the Outer Islands to meet the people who live there and to tell their stories, shares rich descriptions of the islands, and transports us to this fascinating and special way of life.

A worldwide explorer, often found kayaking full-on whitewater rapids through unknown deep canyons in some of the world’s most remote locations, Sal Montgomery has led several world-first expeditions for TV documentaries and short films. 2019 saw a sudden transition, from living in the Amazonian jungle to working in a major UK hospital during a global health emergency. National lockdowns may have put this wild girl’s travels on hold, but that didn’t mean that her craving for adventure was dimmed. She shares her latest stories and adventures from road-tripping around America and British Columbia with her kayak.

In 2019, adventurer and explorer Alice Morrison began an epic walk across Morocco with three amazing guides and six camels, never imagining that she would be finishing it in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. It was an extraordinary adventure. Close encounters with quicksand, a heart-stopping ten days of walking through landmines, and the ever-present threat of running out of water dogged her footsteps across the Sahara. And she learned how Covid affected even the remotest of communities in the Atlas Mountains, with no one to buy the sheep and goats they rely on.
