BBC Two - Take a Hike, Series 1, Devon - Helen

Outspoken taxi driver Helen kicks off the week’s walks with a cultural tour in Ilfracombe.

In Ilfracombe, Devon, outspoken taxi driver Helen takes the contestants on a cultural tour of Ilfracombe’s coast. But what will the others make of Helen’s hike and her no-filter delivery?

We travel to a different part of Britain each week as five hikers go head-to-head to showcase the jaw-dropping countryside walks.

Five walks will be stripped across the week as the contestants take it in turns to lead. They will be judged by the other hikers on the quality of the route, the picnic, the views and the entertainment. At the end of the week, the winner will walk off with a £500 voucher for outdoor gear and the coveted golden walking stick.

Kicking off the first week’s hikes in Devon is outspoken 63-year-old taxi-driving grandma Helen, taking the others for a hike in Ilfracombe. She’s planned a cultural tour of the town's coastal path with a surprise splashy ending.
