Devon - Helen (2021)
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.
Devon - Julian (2021)
Today is the turn of 29-year-old teaching assistant Julian from Barnstaple, who prefers badgers and trees to people. He’s planning to take the group on a wild woodland walk up the East Lyn river in Lynmouth to experience the healing power of nature. Will his off-beat activities and homemade picnic have them laughing in the aisles, or will it leave a sour taste in the mouth?
Devon - Rosie (2021)
Can today’s host, single mum and part-time farmer Rosie, take the lead? Her hike will take them along Shaldon Beach near Teignmouth on Devon's coast, ending on the scenic cliffs above Labrador Bay. Along the way, she wants to give them a taste of farming and country life, complete with a 'flying surprise' at the end. But how will it go down with vegetarian Julian, who’s not a fan of farming or hunting?
Devon - Chaz (2021)
Today it’s the turn of 48-year-old local councillor and former deputy Lord Mayor of Plymouth, Chaz. He even comes with his own catchphrase - 'the man, the turban, the legend'. He’s hoping his Dartmoor hike up beautiful Bellever Tor will deliver stunning scenery with a side order of Sikh tradition to win the walks. He’s also planned a spicy picnic to blow their walking boots off. But when the infamously unpredictable Dartmoor weather kicks in and their host marches off, will the walkers find themselves left out in the cold?
Devon - Colin (2021)
It’s the final day of the Devon walks, and last to go is 65-year-old B&B owner Colin from Paignton. His 7km south Devon hike starts in the grounds of Greenway, the former holiday home of famous crime writer Agatha Christie. After admiring the views across the Dartmouth estuary, he leads them on a woodland walk before crossing the river on the ferry to end in historic Dartmouth. Colin’s on a mission to win them over with a taste of traditional Devon, and as a trained chef, he’s making all the food from scratch. So when the final points are in, is the way to the walkers’ hearts through their stomachs, or could Colin have over-catered?
