We were heading up to shetland. shetland during the winter is not a place to be in a tent, that i can promise you, it was absolutely brutal. i spent lockdown on an island on my own, totally uninhabited just a couple of sheep, and spent the three months there. it was wonderful, i was foraging for food, catching lobster and crab. where are you now? inverness is the next big stop. im excited to get there. it is actually going to be the first city i have been to in over two years. its great to catch...

I am so cold, it is so snowy. i cant actually imagine how were going to stay here tonight. the big killer in terms of your own temperature is the wind, and when we get in the snow hole we are totally out of the wind. what is the windchill now, what is the windspeed? we are getting in quite a sheltered hollow now so it is probably only 5—10, 15 miles an hour. when we came over the top it was considerably more than that, as you have experienced. while we were preparing the equipment, three of th...

That any more. so, good news for those on the receiving end, like the yorkshire sculpture park, but a major disappointment for the 578 arts organisations that had their grant applications rejected, with a combined financial requirement of £113 million. for them, the future is not looking so bright. will gompertz, bbc news. thats it.

Once we finished 0rkney, is a beautiful place. i love the history and i love 0rkney people equally. it was the biggest challenge to come. we were heading up to shetland. shetland during the winter is not a place to be in a tent, that i can promise you, it was absolutely brutal. i spent lockdown on an island on my own, totally uninhabited just a couple of sheep, and spent the three months there. it was wonderful, i was foraging forfood, catching lobster and crab. where are you now? inverness is t...

As we have experienced. while we were preparing the equipment, three of the team, lorna, gregor and dave had made a start by digging tunnels into the snowdrift, and when deep enough they will connect them to form a cabin. we are tunnelling into the snow at the moment, we have to go in a good metre from the top here. do you want to come in and have a dig? yes. and how long does it take to do this normally? it very much depends on the snow conditions, we have relatively soft snow but certainly thr...

This is quite narrow so it is well supported but when we actually make a living space, we want to make sure that as narrow as well so it is well supported. oh, that was a good bit in the middle. i will now get in there with a shovel. what is it about putting yourself out of the comfort zone that people enjoy? i suppose it goes back to, it engages the brain. you forget about your worries and you are concerned about keeping warm and surviving. it takes life back to the elemental, it is about survi...

One of the best places to dig is this small valley 1,100 metres up the mountain. its nicknamed the snow house because of the drifts that collect here. i am so cold, it is so snowy. i cant actually imagine how were going to stay here tonight. the big killer in terms of your own temperature is the wind, and when we get in the snow hole we are totally out of the wind. what is the windchill now, what is the windspeed? we are getting in quite a sheltered hollow now so it is probably only 5—10, 15 m...

Chris has raised £14a,000 and counting, which is an incredible amount. well done mate. now we head back to scotland and in 2015 where jo whalley was pushed to the extremes in the snowy highlands. one of the best places to dig is this small valley 1,100 metres up the mountain. its nicknamed the snow house because of the drifts that collect here. i am so cold, it is so snowy. i cant actually imagine how were going to stay here tonight. the big killer in terms of your own temperature is the wind, ...

Any easier for him to understand. >> can you accept the idea that, maybe, there were needs that she felt that she had to meet with men who were not you? but that she still loved you. >> oh, no. i believe she did love me. >> she had a secret life that she wasnt showin anybody else. >> but you dont know how long that secret life was, and neither do i. it could have been her plan to wanna end that the day when she asked me why i had to leave so early. i dont know. but im not gonna hate her for bein...
