What’s the story?
The Adventure Show.
I am happy on the sofa.
Fair enough. You can live vicariously through Amy Irons and the team as they continue their action-packed odyssey around Scotland in celebration of the nation’s thriving outdoors scene.
What’s on the itinerary?
Having visited Orkney for a high-octane double bill, this penultimate episode of the series shines a spotlight on the Borders as Irons sets out to explore a part of Scotland often ignored by those seeking their thrills among the bigger mountains further north.
She joins bikepacking enthusiast Markus Stitz for a two-day trip sampling part of his Capital Trail route and discovers a wild landscape that is chock-full of surprises.
Anything else?
Continuing on a cycling theme, Lauren MacCallum meets a woman determined to keep pedalling while living with multiple sclerosis and Patrick Winterton reports on a college course that has produced some of Scotland’s best mountain bikers.
Elsewhere, Duncan McCallum learns about a project which is helping disadvantaged youngsters discover the outdoors.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
