Take a Hike (2021)

Synopsis

We travel to a different part of Britain each week as five hikers go head-to-head to showcase the jaw-dropping countryside walks. Each week five people from all walks of life across the UK compete against each to see which of them can lead the best walk. They will be judged by the other hikers on the quality of the route, the picnic, the views and the entertainment. At the end of the week, the winner will walk off with a £500 voucher for outdoor gear and the coveted golden walking stick.
