We hear from Cal Flyn who turned her teenage love of horses into a 6 week pony trek across the USA.

The Edinburgh Mountain Film Festival is back with another year of films and talks to inspire. We chat to organiser Stevie Christie about what the festival has to offer.

It's never too cold for camping as report Helen Needham found out when she visited a winter scout camp in Aberdeenshire.

Frankie Vaughan is on hand to give us a warming stew recipe to keep us cosy while out on the hills this winter.

The Big Bang Weekend is back in Wigtown and we hear from organiser Finn McCreath about what we can expect from the festival.
