In August 2007, the BBC had planned a live broadcast of eight of the world’s top climbers attempting routes on Shelter Stone and Hell’s Lum crags, deep in the Cairngorms. Due to some of the worst conditions seen at this time of year, the live climb was eventually cancelled. However, a small team from the production team stayed behind and did get some awesome footage of Dave MacLeod mapping a new and perilous route up Hell’s Lum.
Highlighting an ever-growing interest in climbing, in April the BBC announced plans for another attempt at a live broadcast. This time round, Dave MacLeod and Tim Emmett will try to conquer Sron Ulladale on the island of Harris – an overhanging cliff which they have both described as one of the toughest rock faces in the world.
Also featuring the pair’s world record attempt at climbing five new routes on five islands in five days, the programme will be broadcast on the 28th of August on BBC2 Scotland and the BBC HD Channel – sure to be a great spectacle if you have the technology!

Our 2010 Tent Shows are well on their way now, in fact, we’re almost at the halfway point! Can you believe it? If you came along to see us on those chilly April and May weekends, good on you! If you didn’t, don’t worry – we’ll be out and about on the road until the end of August so why not pop along a view our huge range of tents in the flesh.
Whether you need a lightweight mountain tent for your latest expedition, or something big enough to fit 3 kids and the dog in we’ve got you covered. Seeing the tents up at the show is a great way to get a feel for what you’re buying – you can get inside them and see just how much space you’ve got, and if you come along at the right time, we’ll even show you how easy they are to erect and strike.
We’ll be at Duthie Park in Aberdeen this weekend, from 10am to 4pm Saturday and Sunday so why not pop along and see what we’ve got to offer? For a full list of our forthcoming shows, check out the website.
Happy camping!
