The Great Munros Challenge - The Great Munros Challenge

In 1992, Rory Gibson and Andrew Johnston set out to climb 277 Scottish mountains known as the Munros, in less than 50 days. (Munro is the name given to all Scottish mountains over 3000 feet high, named after Sir Hugh Munro who catalogued them). This documentary follows their attempt to create a new record for 'bagging' all of Scotland's Munros. Some people take a lifetime to climb them all but Roy Gibson and Andrew Johnston have given themselves 50 days. They are supremely fit, having trained in the Himalayas before tackling this Challenge. Their route takes them from Ben Nevis to Ben Hope via Loch Lomond, Mull, the Cairngorms, the Isle of Skye and the Torridons. Will they succeed?
