  • Great show, has given me lots of inspiring ideas.

    Great show, personal, honest. Inspiring and interesting. Great to have a European/uk hiking, outdoor and backpacking channel as apposed to the other USA based outlets. Fills an essential niche reflecting the interests and needs of the huge community of European and Uk outdoor enthusiasts.
