Her book Tea and Grit dives back in to memories of that expedition.Actor Darren Brownlie's latest project takes us on another journey, to Cumbrae on the west coast of Scotland where musical Crocodile Rock tells a beautiful story of coming out and finding out who you really are.Dan Richards adventures have been very much in the dark, as his book Overnight explores the many wonders and workers of the nighttime, from the high seas, to the top of a crane.Plus, singer-songwriter Horse fills the tent up with glorious music, picked from her decades-long back catalogue.Presenter: Stuart Maconie Producer: Caitlin Sneddon Technical Producers: Andrew Hay and Fraser Jackson Production Co-ordinator: Lauren Stewart
