0:00:02 > 0:00:04Summer has come to the mountain.
0:00:09 > 0:00:11The midges are brutal today.
0:00:12 > 0:00:13Welcome to Scotland.
0:00:13 > 0:00:14THEY LAUGH
0:00:15 > 0:00:16HE SCREAMS
0:00:16 > 0:00:17This is beautiful.
0:00:17 > 0:00:18HE SCREAMS
0:00:18 > 0:00:21Whee-hee!
0:00:21 > 0:00:23It's been a long, hard winter.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28But the summer season brings thousands of visitors
0:00:28 > 0:00:31to Scotland's top adventure playground.
0:00:31 > 0:00:32THEY SCREAM
0:00:33 > 0:00:37And for the people of Cairngorm, that brings new challenges.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43We've just discovered a gas leak.
0:00:43 > 0:00:44Woooo!
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Stop. Stop, stop, stop, stop.
0:00:48 > 0:00:49In this episode,
0:00:49 > 0:00:52we discover what it takes to make a living from the mountain,
0:00:52 > 0:00:55as Nick puts his team through their paces...
0:00:55 > 0:00:58Got to keep the guys fresh and on it.
0:00:58 > 0:01:00..Ruairi leaves the hill to take on paramedic duties...
0:01:00 > 0:01:03A bit wobbly on your legs.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06We'll get you sitting in the back here.
0:01:06 > 0:01:07HE IMITATES HORN BLOWING
0:01:07 > 0:01:11..and a strange herd of wild animals descends on Aviemore.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13- We're on safari! - SHE LAUGHS
0:01:13 > 0:01:17Welcome to summer on the mountain.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20Whoa! Windy up here.
0:01:34 > 0:01:36On Cairngorm, summer is well under way.
0:01:37 > 0:01:41The ski lifts may be closed but the adventure-seekers still come.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48It's just beautiful. When it's like this, it's amazing.
0:01:48 > 0:01:49Absolutely love it.
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Mike Gale first came to the mountain for the skiing,
0:01:52 > 0:01:56but like so many others, once here, he couldn't leave.
0:01:56 > 0:01:58Yeah, coming from Yorkshire originally,
0:01:58 > 0:01:59living next to a city in Leeds -
0:01:59 > 0:02:02when you compare it to this, I mean, there is no comparison.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04This is just amazing, you know?
0:02:04 > 0:02:08Mike's not alone in enjoying all that Cairngorm can offer.
0:02:08 > 0:02:11Most people who come to live here do so for the lifestyle,
0:02:11 > 0:02:14and the freedoms of the great outdoors.
0:02:17 > 0:02:19Quite lucky to live and work up here,
0:02:19 > 0:02:21despite the weather being bonkers.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47Enjoying the lifestyle is one thing
0:02:47 > 0:02:49but making a year-round living from the mountain
0:02:49 > 0:02:52takes ingenuity and determination.
0:02:54 > 0:02:56That was a bit bumpy!
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Fresh air doesn't put bread on the table.
0:03:02 > 0:03:06The plan now is to pack up and go back to the office and do some work.
0:03:06 > 0:03:09That was basically an extended lunch break. Good, eh?
0:03:11 > 0:03:1415 years ago, Mike and his partner Nick Etheridge turned their hobby
0:03:14 > 0:03:19into a business and started a winter adventure sports company.
0:03:19 > 0:03:22They quickly found they needed to diversify
0:03:22 > 0:03:23to see them through the summer.
0:03:25 > 0:03:29Now rafting, canyoning and kayaking are where they make their money.
0:03:30 > 0:03:35I think almost the early years we had, it was hard finding the work.
0:03:36 > 0:03:38Now the work is coming to us,
0:03:38 > 0:03:41so it's keeping up to the work that's probably the hardest thing.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44We're having to work like crazy through summer, nowadays.
0:03:44 > 0:03:46Oh, man, look at it. Stonking out there.
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Busy is good, but a fully booked summer does mean
0:03:50 > 0:03:54they don't have much time for their children and families.
0:03:54 > 0:03:56Holidays, when the kids are all off...
0:03:56 > 0:03:58And the wife works at the school
0:03:58 > 0:04:01so when she's on holidays, we're busy, so unfortunately, you know,
0:04:01 > 0:04:03the kids are never going to go on holiday with us.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05We're never going to take time off.
0:04:05 > 0:04:08BUZZING
0:04:08 > 0:04:10BLEATING
0:04:12 > 0:04:14BIRDS CHIRP
0:04:16 > 0:04:18Elsewhere in the valley,
0:04:18 > 0:04:22another small business is working hard to keep up with demand.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24The summer has been exceptionally busy this year.
0:04:24 > 0:04:30We've seemed to just not really had our feet on the ground at all.
0:04:30 > 0:04:33Polly and Ross Cameron run a self-catering business
0:04:33 > 0:04:36and offer weddings and workshops as well.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38We've taken on a lot and I think in some respects
0:04:38 > 0:04:40maybe a little bit too much, this year.
0:04:40 > 0:04:43We're starting to realise it's best to develop
0:04:43 > 0:04:45as you have the time to take new things on.
0:04:45 > 0:04:49Running a business from home sounds idyllic, but does mean
0:04:49 > 0:04:52it's difficult to separate work from bringing up their two young boys.
0:04:52 > 0:04:54'It's really hard because we're developing a business'
0:04:54 > 0:04:57which needed a lot of investment.
0:04:57 > 0:04:58Just always looking at -
0:04:58 > 0:05:01what money we've got to spend on the next stage.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04So we're finding that, right now, the boys ain't getting what they
0:05:04 > 0:05:07need and the business isn't getting fully what it needs.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11As part of their business, the couple are also involved in organising
0:05:11 > 0:05:14the Insider, a very local music festival.
0:05:14 > 0:05:19It's bringing brilliant music to beautiful places
0:05:19 > 0:05:25with great things to drink and eat. Basically.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28But it's also consistently run at a loss.
0:05:28 > 0:05:32This year, Polly and her fellow organiser, Gordy Riley,
0:05:32 > 0:05:34are taking an ambitious gamble.
0:05:34 > 0:05:37They plan to hold the festival in not one
0:05:37 > 0:05:40but five different locations across the Spey Valley.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43They've been planning it for six months.
0:05:43 > 0:05:44I think it's going to be great.
0:05:44 > 0:05:47I just love the fact that no-one really knows what they're in for.
0:05:47 > 0:05:50- Including us.- Including us, yeah.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Now there's just 24 hours to go.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Got a bit of a carload but should fit it in.
0:05:57 > 0:05:59Polly's still got a lot to do.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Sausages for the barbecue.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06OK. Perfect.
0:06:06 > 0:06:07Thanks for the chips!
0:06:10 > 0:06:11Thank you.
0:06:11 > 0:06:16Because of this multiple-venue thing, the logistics are just a brain ache.
0:06:17 > 0:06:22About where everything should be and what needs to be there.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28Gordy and fellow organiser Ray Baker are off to dress the village hall,
0:06:28 > 0:06:31just one of the five venues.
0:06:31 > 0:06:32Window!
0:06:32 > 0:06:35Once you get to this stage, decorating stuff's a distraction.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37It's kind of fun.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40It's just nice not to be staring at a computer for a while.
0:06:40 > 0:06:45Ross is back at home, decorating their woods for the final location.
0:06:45 > 0:06:49Being organised, that's something we need to get better at.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Like not getting to the top of the ladder with a lantern that
0:06:52 > 0:06:56doesn't have a hook on it. That's just not organised, is it?
0:06:58 > 0:07:04I've got to go to Mountain Cafe, who've loaned me a deep-fat fryer.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08- That is a life-saver. - All in working order.
0:07:08 > 0:07:12And then I have to drop beer off to One Pot Borrowed.
0:07:14 > 0:07:20And then I have to go up to Inshriach with 200 sausages and maybe some backup cider.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24I think they're going to need a bit more than I've given them already.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29Tick.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32Where next?
0:07:32 > 0:07:34The kitchen of the village hall.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Hello?
0:07:36 > 0:07:38Drop off the deep-fat fryer...
0:07:38 > 0:07:39Smells delicious!
0:07:41 > 0:07:42Oh!
0:07:44 > 0:07:46..and grab a moment with the children.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53Gordy takes care of the beer delivery.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Cleaned you out.
0:07:55 > 0:07:58Did we mention that the festival theme is a jungle safari?
0:07:58 > 0:08:01It looks great.
0:08:01 > 0:08:03I think once everything else is in place
0:08:03 > 0:08:05it's going to look pretty jungley. Which is the plan.
0:08:05 > 0:08:08All the stuff will pretty much be done tomorrow, now,
0:08:08 > 0:08:10all the little bits. The little snags.
0:08:10 > 0:08:13So hopefully we're going to go out for dinner now.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17LAUGHTER
0:08:26 > 0:08:28Aaaargh!
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Whee-hee!
0:08:35 > 0:08:39It's been four years since Mike and Nick opened the Zip Trek Park -
0:08:39 > 0:08:43an adrenaline junkie's version of a stroll in the forest.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46It's proved a major money-earner for them.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52But with success comes the problems of keeping it fully staffed,
0:08:52 > 0:08:54and keeping the staff fully trained.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57The enjoyment used to come from going out and being on the coalface,
0:08:57 > 0:09:00so to speak - taking the clients out, interacting with them,
0:09:00 > 0:09:01having a really good time.
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Now the enjoyment is any staff training or, you know,
0:09:04 > 0:09:07working with the guys that have been with us for a few years,
0:09:07 > 0:09:09and helping them develop.
0:09:11 > 0:09:12Wheee!
0:09:14 > 0:09:17Conner Black has spent a couple of summers helping out.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19That's rather special. Well done, buddy!
0:09:19 > 0:09:23Just braking him, so as the rope comes in,
0:09:23 > 0:09:25I'm just going to use my hands to gauge how much to grip it.
0:09:25 > 0:09:26That's how it works.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29He's learning the ropes on the zip lines
0:09:29 > 0:09:32and getting trained up to become a full-time instructor.
0:09:34 > 0:09:36OK to go, Conner.
0:09:36 > 0:09:37Whoops.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39RADIO BLEEPS
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Was that a "ugh" or a "yeah" or a "no"?
0:09:42 > 0:09:43'Yeah.'
0:09:43 > 0:09:44Yeah.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48He's changing the craic.
0:09:51 > 0:09:55- RESEARCHER:- And what happens if you're not here?- They hit the trees.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01To work full-time for the company, Conner needs to be able to
0:10:01 > 0:10:04take clients safely through a wide range of adventure sports.
0:10:04 > 0:10:09He's off to the river with Nick to hone a few more skills.
0:10:09 > 0:10:13Nick's a Level Three instructor with over 12 years' rafting experience.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16You couldn't get any better, I don't think.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19I think I'm probably at the top of my game in every respect,
0:10:19 > 0:10:23you know, physically as well as mentally.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25I'm just basically on it all the time.
0:10:27 > 0:10:30Conner's in the best possible hands.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32Conner, with us, has done a couple of summers now,
0:10:32 > 0:10:34and he's just slowly getting better.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36He just recently did his first raft guide training course.
0:10:36 > 0:10:39To start with, I'm keen for Charlie and Conner
0:10:39 > 0:10:42to guide the first section, if you can.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45Just get us in, get us warmed up, get us practised,
0:10:45 > 0:10:48and then we'll talk about how we run this first rapid, eh?
0:10:48 > 0:10:52In one week's time, Conner has a rafting assessment.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54Nick's working on his technique.
0:10:54 > 0:10:57So, you need to think, you know, shouting at various people
0:10:57 > 0:11:01in the boat, to stop paddling or paddle more, to correct the angle.
0:11:01 > 0:11:03'We just try to get them
0:11:03 > 0:11:07'a little bit more aware of the current doing the work for them.
0:11:07 > 0:11:09'So, a lot of the time,'
0:11:09 > 0:11:11we're trying to work against nature,
0:11:11 > 0:11:14and trying to work against the current to manoeuvre the boat,
0:11:14 > 0:11:16and lots of effort, lots of paddling,
0:11:16 > 0:11:18whereas I'm trying to get these guys a bit more subtle
0:11:18 > 0:11:21with their manoeuvres, to allow the current to do a lot of the work.
0:11:21 > 0:11:24It makes it a lot easier on yourself, and on your client.
0:11:24 > 0:11:26You're not shouting at them to paddle hard all the time.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28It makes it a bit easier, unlike that.
0:11:32 > 0:11:34If Conner gets through his assessment,
0:11:34 > 0:11:38he'll become a fully qualified rafting instructor.
0:11:38 > 0:11:40'Aye, there's a bit of experience there,'
0:11:40 > 0:11:43but they could have a lot more experience
0:11:43 > 0:11:44and be a little bit better.
0:11:48 > 0:11:50'The guys did really well. They're on it.
0:11:50 > 0:11:53'They're managing to get the raft were they need it to go.'
0:11:53 > 0:11:56Just honing their skills before the assessment next week.
0:11:56 > 0:11:57They've done really well.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03MUSIC: Jungle Boogie by Kool And The Gang
0:12:03 > 0:12:05# Get down Get down
0:12:05 > 0:12:07# Get down Get down... #
0:12:07 > 0:12:11Outside a local watering hole, a rare group of animals is gathering.
0:12:12 > 0:12:16It's Polly's big day - the start of the Insider Festival.
0:12:16 > 0:12:17Here we go.
0:12:17 > 0:12:19So, I've pieced an outfit together.
0:12:19 > 0:12:21Erm, that's the main thing, really.
0:12:21 > 0:12:23# Ah... #
0:12:23 > 0:12:27We're taking people on buses around little stops in Strathspey
0:12:27 > 0:12:28and then we're popping them on a steam train
0:12:28 > 0:12:30which we've chartered just for our guests.
0:12:30 > 0:12:34200 music lovers are paying between £50 and £450
0:12:34 > 0:12:37for this eclectic Highland safari,
0:12:37 > 0:12:40so Polly and Rae need it all to go smoothly.
0:12:40 > 0:12:42# Jungle boogie... #
0:12:42 > 0:12:45We've been working on it since about February,
0:12:45 > 0:12:47so it's been a lot of work, but I'm glad that we're past
0:12:47 > 0:12:50the spreadsheet stage and onto the fun bit.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54And I keep forgetting I'm dressed like a lion.
0:12:54 > 0:12:55# Jungle boogie... #
0:12:55 > 0:12:59With previous Insider Festivals failing to make a profit,
0:12:59 > 0:13:02Polly needs to make sure they sell plenty of beer tokens.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04This is the starting point for the safari,
0:13:04 > 0:13:07and, erm... Yeah, beer tokens.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10- Hi, how are you? You look wonderful. - I'm great. I'm Georgina's husband.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13- I know.- You know? - I can't really miss you.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15I knew you were coming as a meerkat.
0:13:15 > 0:13:18Meerkats, lions, hunters and hunted -
0:13:18 > 0:13:21they're up for the first leg of the safari.
0:13:21 > 0:13:24HE MAKES A TRUMPET NOISE
0:13:24 > 0:13:26All aboard!
0:13:26 > 0:13:27I need a shifty up.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30All aboard! Are you OK?
0:13:30 > 0:13:32I think so.
0:13:32 > 0:13:35# Whoa. #
0:13:45 > 0:13:48On the mountain, the team are building new fence lines
0:13:48 > 0:13:52for the winter ski runs, and for once, the weather is playing ball.
0:13:52 > 0:13:56It's about the first good day we've had in...
0:13:56 > 0:13:59ten years or something like that, I think.
0:13:59 > 0:14:02The weather's been really brutal, aye.
0:14:02 > 0:14:04This summer, it's just been...
0:14:04 > 0:14:06It's one of the worst I can remember.
0:14:06 > 0:14:08CHEERING Ruairi is back from his wedding,
0:14:08 > 0:14:12and despite the honeymoon accommodation,
0:14:12 > 0:14:13still happily married.
0:14:13 > 0:14:16The wedding all went well.
0:14:16 > 0:14:19The honeymoon was a blast. Had loads of diving. Oh, it's good.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22It progresses nicely into the winter, really.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25In the winter, Ruairi works as a ski patroller on the mountain,
0:14:25 > 0:14:27but like most of his colleagues,
0:14:27 > 0:14:30he needs to take on a number of jobs to survive year-round.
0:14:32 > 0:14:36'I think, to make a living, you need to be pretty flexible,
0:14:36 > 0:14:39'and you kind of need to work around the seasons.'
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Seasonal work isn't as reliable, but it does mean you can
0:14:43 > 0:14:46do for your work what you would like to do in your spare time,
0:14:46 > 0:14:48which is be in the wild, and in the mountains
0:14:48 > 0:14:50or in the glens.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53I'm up here on Thursday.
0:14:53 > 0:14:57I'm out counting the deer on the estate on the Friday with my dad,
0:14:57 > 0:15:00and then the Saturday and Sunday,
0:15:00 > 0:15:03I'm working with the medical side of things, with Ian.
0:15:13 > 0:15:14This weekend, there's
0:15:14 > 0:15:17a cross-country mountain bike championship in the valley.
0:15:17 > 0:15:22150 riders are racing a tough 40km circuit through the forest.

0:15:24 > 0:15:27along with fellow ski patroller Ian Cornfoot
0:15:27 > 0:15:29and operations manager Colin Matthew.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32We're doing the medical cover for
0:15:32 > 0:15:36the cross-country event at Badaguish.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39It's a team that knows each other's strengths and weaknesses.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41'It's a good team.
0:15:41 > 0:15:43'It's a lot of the same guys we have up the hill in the winter,
0:15:43 > 0:15:46'so we, you know, all get on great.'
0:15:46 > 0:15:48We're in the tent for the day,
0:15:48 > 0:15:51so we will have walk-in casualties or,
0:15:51 > 0:15:53if the guys pick anyone up on the course,
0:15:53 > 0:15:56we'll deal with them in here.
0:16:05 > 0:16:09Ian and Simon have taken up position at a tricky section of the course.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13Should be able to get the line there, look.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16She'll ride it properly. There you go.
0:16:16 > 0:16:17Phew.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21It's not long before they get a potential client...
0:16:26 > 0:16:28BIKE CRASHES AND SHE GROANS
0:16:30 > 0:16:32..but the paramedics can't intervene
0:16:32 > 0:16:35until the rider withdraws from the race.
0:16:38 > 0:16:40So, a quiet morning so far.
0:16:43 > 0:16:45Well done. Good.
0:16:53 > 0:16:56The Insider crowd are off on safari.
0:16:56 > 0:16:59For Polly and Rae, this is the first big test of
0:16:59 > 0:17:01whether it's all going to work.
0:17:01 > 0:17:04Gordy has gone ahead to set up the first location
0:17:04 > 0:17:06and soon hits a wee snag.
0:17:06 > 0:17:09There's problems with the speaker.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Not working. I think we've been given a dodgy cable.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14One, two, one, two, one, two. Yeah.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16- I think we have a miracle. - Yes! We have a gig.
0:17:16 > 0:17:18Go again, before... And then I'll never touch it again.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20One, two, one, two, one, two, one, two.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22That's my song called One Two One Two.
0:17:22 > 0:17:24- It's one of my favourites. - LAUGHTER
0:17:24 > 0:17:26Three Four is quite good but this is one...
0:17:26 > 0:17:28It's definitely one of the better ones.
0:17:28 > 0:17:30# One two one two One two one two... #
0:17:30 > 0:17:31'We've done all the prep.
0:17:31 > 0:17:33'We've done everything we can do, so..'
0:17:33 > 0:17:35It's just fun. Hopefully.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Hopefully nothing goes wrong. Fingers crossed.
0:17:38 > 0:17:39I've just jinxed it, haven't I?
0:17:39 > 0:17:41Oops, so you have.
0:17:41 > 0:17:43I shouldn't have touched it. It worked.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45We should have left it at that.
0:17:45 > 0:17:49Just stick your thingummy in the what's-it-called.
0:17:49 > 0:17:50- Right?- Sorry.
0:17:50 > 0:17:53So, it's now a fully acoustic set.
0:17:53 > 0:17:56# The night before we always die
0:17:56 > 0:17:59# The morning light We survive
0:17:59 > 0:18:03# Cos we've lived a lot And loved a lot... #
0:18:03 > 0:18:06A rare moment of reflection for Polly.
0:18:08 > 0:18:10# ..Cos you were my friend... #
0:18:10 > 0:18:13Ross has been left back at home,
0:18:13 > 0:18:15making sure the stage is set for the final location.
0:18:15 > 0:18:18It's been a busy afternoon, you know? Just piecing bits together.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20It's the first time, and it's different,
0:18:20 > 0:18:22and hopefully they're having a wicked time.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26Not to be outdone, Ross is following his own animal instincts.
0:18:26 > 0:18:30I'm going as a rhino.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33Erm, a Highland rhino...
0:18:33 > 0:18:34or a rhinoce-ROSS.
0:18:35 > 0:18:38At the lochside, the hunting is starting in earnest.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40Right, stay.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43Don't kill anyone, or I'll shoot you.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46- You know what happened to your mother. - LAUGHTER
0:19:03 > 0:19:06Ruairi's day has suddenly got busier.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Yeah, Ian, we've got reports of a rider,
0:19:09 > 0:19:14about 100 metres up the course, that's needing some attention.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16Colin's en route.
0:19:16 > 0:19:18Breathing difficulties?
0:19:18 > 0:19:19- Just up here?- First corner.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Yeah, I'm with the casualty.
0:19:23 > 0:19:26He'd collapsed. He had breathing difficulties. Asthmatic.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29He's got an active thyroid - overactive thyroid condition.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31Nah, we'll get a Jeep up and he can sit in.
0:19:31 > 0:19:32At the medical tent,
0:19:32 > 0:19:34Ruairi's dealing with the rider who had the earlier crash.
0:19:34 > 0:19:38OK, do you want to pop that ice pack on and then I'll just...
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Just get you a plaster for the wee graze there.
0:19:40 > 0:19:42It's not too... Not too bad.
0:19:42 > 0:19:43I was pushing too hard,
0:19:43 > 0:19:46so I wasn't in full control of my bike.
0:19:46 > 0:19:47I was more about going fast,
0:19:47 > 0:19:51and then I just went over my handlebars onto the ground.
0:19:51 > 0:19:53Well, I was just a bit shaken up, so then I kept crashing
0:19:53 > 0:19:56after that as well - just little crashes.
0:19:56 > 0:19:59Colin's out on the track at the moment, with this gentleman,
0:19:59 > 0:20:00so we're going to go out and pick him up,
0:20:00 > 0:20:03and then we're going to bring him back to the medical tent,
0:20:03 > 0:20:07where we can better assess what's happening with him.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Erm...
0:20:09 > 0:20:11I just collapsed.
0:20:11 > 0:20:15Breathing difficulty, cos I had... I've got asthma. Hyperthyroid.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17- A bit wobbly on your legs. - A wee bit.
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Well, we'll you get you sitting in the back here,
0:20:20 > 0:20:22and then just rest your bum against it.
0:20:22 > 0:20:26We'll spin you round, and then when you feel OK, we'll get your legs up.
0:20:31 > 0:20:35Slide right back, if you like, to be more comfortable.
0:20:35 > 0:20:37So, you've got plenty oxygen there.
0:20:37 > 0:20:39- Second place, I was sitting.- Aw...
0:20:41 > 0:20:43However, that's life.
0:20:43 > 0:20:47The day has brought a bit more action than Colin was anticipating.
0:20:47 > 0:20:50Don't you ever, ever say, "It's quiet."
0:20:50 > 0:20:53Aye, we could do with some action again.
0:20:53 > 0:20:54You were on top of it, Colin.
0:20:54 > 0:20:56I didn't mean that kind of action,
0:20:56 > 0:20:58I meant, like, some croissants or something.
0:21:00 > 0:21:03For the intrepid explorers, it's off to the next location.
0:21:03 > 0:21:05How can we not be having fun?
0:21:05 > 0:21:07We're on safari.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13- And it's not raining.- Yay!
0:21:13 > 0:21:17# I woke up next to my favourite lover
0:21:19 > 0:21:21# And her hair was... #
0:21:21 > 0:21:23- Beers or ciders? - What about the gin?
0:21:23 > 0:21:25All about the gin.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29Having some sausage malfunctions.
0:21:29 > 0:21:33# Told her that I would soon be leaving
0:21:33 > 0:21:37# To wander on down that long last journey... #
0:21:37 > 0:21:40I love all this animal print. Everyone looks wonderful.
0:21:40 > 0:21:42I just went out to shoot some breakfast and got on a bus.
0:21:42 > 0:21:46# Out of her upstairs window... #
0:21:46 > 0:21:49The beer tokens are coming in fast.
0:21:49 > 0:21:52The bar's busy, and the sausages are going down well.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56They're just too good. Demand is outstripping supply.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58The Insider balance sheet is looking up.
0:22:07 > 0:22:09CHEERING
0:22:13 > 0:22:15SHEEP BLEAT
0:22:15 > 0:22:18- Right, we're good? You got your kit? - Yeah.- Good to go?
0:22:18 > 0:22:22At last, Mike has managed to break away from the office to spend
0:22:22 > 0:22:24a bit of quality time with his son.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27- Are we good, Harris?- Yeah. - Come on, then, mate, let's go.
0:22:29 > 0:22:32- How do you clap like that?- Eh? - I can only clap like that.
0:22:34 > 0:22:38Mike is keen to pass on his climbing skills to Harris.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41He's only 11, and he's a teen ninja climber, you know? It's great.
0:22:41 > 0:22:43Except, I'm getting old and past it,
0:22:43 > 0:22:45so he could take over the reins.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Oh, we might just go straight onto the hard VS, Harris,
0:22:51 > 0:22:53if these guys are up here.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55My parents used to take me up to the...
0:22:55 > 0:22:57We used to have a caravan in the Lake District.
0:22:57 > 0:23:00You know, dragging me out and making the effort to
0:23:00 > 0:23:01get me out in the outdoors.
0:23:01 > 0:23:03That's a great gift you can give your kids, so...
0:23:03 > 0:23:05You know, he wouldn't know that at the moment,
0:23:05 > 0:23:06but you know, when he's...
0:23:06 > 0:23:08In another 10-15 years' time, he might be going,
0:23:08 > 0:23:10"Oh, yeah, that's why we do it."
0:23:10 > 0:23:12So, yeah, maybe. So why not?
0:23:14 > 0:23:16- Shall we get a rope on there, mate?- Yeah.- OK.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18MUSIC: Hey Brother by Avicii
0:23:18 > 0:23:21A little lesson in knots for Harris.
0:23:21 > 0:23:24- Erm...- Just try it, and see what happens.
0:23:24 > 0:23:26That's probably not...
0:23:26 > 0:23:27Unless it is.
0:23:27 > 0:23:28Start with a figure of a nine,
0:23:28 > 0:23:32so you'd put an extra twist in that, mate.
0:23:32 > 0:23:35That's it. Get a bit more length.
0:23:35 > 0:23:37- OK, are you good?- Yeah.
0:23:37 > 0:23:40# Hey, brother
0:23:40 > 0:23:45# Do you still believe in one another?
0:23:45 > 0:23:49# Hey, sister,
0:23:49 > 0:23:51# Do you still believe in love...? #
0:23:51 > 0:23:53Is this meant to be hard?
0:23:53 > 0:23:55At the moment, he's learning so much from climbing.
0:23:55 > 0:23:57He says he wants to take on my business.
0:23:57 > 0:24:00He's learning how to climb. He's learning how to canyon.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01He's learning how to kayak.
0:24:01 > 0:24:05He's got the skills there already, so I think it's really important.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08'The first thing I probably ever climbed was my pouch,
0:24:08 > 0:24:10'and then it would have gone to the bed,
0:24:10 > 0:24:12'and then it would have been the shed.'
0:24:12 > 0:24:14I climbed a shed at 18 months,
0:24:14 > 0:24:17but then my dad had to climb up and get me.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19'We do things the same.
0:24:19 > 0:24:21'He likes climbing and I like climbing.
0:24:21 > 0:24:24'As a parent, you're just petrified watching him.' Well done, mate.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26That's the worry of being a parent.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28You just don't know what your kids are going to get up to,
0:24:28 > 0:24:31so at least I can keep an eye on him here, and maybe make him safe.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33Just go right up to the top, over the edge.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Good, mate. Well done.
0:24:38 > 0:24:39That's a good lad.
0:24:39 > 0:24:42Have a sit down, and then you can untie yourself, all right?
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Grr. Half of them in your belly.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47That's... There's three sweets left,
0:24:47 > 0:24:49and you've left the milk ones, which are...
0:24:49 > 0:24:52It's time like this that reminds Mike why it's worth putting
0:24:52 > 0:24:54the effort into the business.
0:24:54 > 0:24:56- Right, are you good, mate?- Yeah.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58- Did we get the water?- Yeah.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03TRAIN RUMBLES AND WHISTLES
0:25:04 > 0:25:07The jungle has come to the Strathspey Railway,
0:25:07 > 0:25:11as the Insider Festival arrives at its next venue.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14It's kind of hard, when you're in the middle of these things,
0:25:14 > 0:25:16because everyone... You're running around doing work
0:25:16 > 0:25:19and it's quite hard to judge what it's like as a punter,
0:25:19 > 0:25:22but everyone seems... everyone seems happy.
0:25:22 > 0:25:24Perhaps not everyone.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31I'd say something else is coming off these coaches today,
0:25:31 > 0:25:32I'll tell you that.
0:25:32 > 0:25:35CHEERING AND YELLING
0:25:37 > 0:25:40Yeah, I'm just glad I'm at this end of the train, I think.
0:25:42 > 0:25:43You're no fun.
0:25:43 > 0:25:46It's different, I think, is how you describe it, isn't it?
0:25:46 > 0:25:48I mean, I've heard of hipsters but...
0:25:48 > 0:25:50If I could actually maybe be on the train,
0:25:50 > 0:25:53and enjoying it with them, then I think I might be a bit different.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56I'm stuck here still drinking tea, so...

0:27:18 > 0:27:20So how do you cuddle a rhinoceros?
0:27:20 > 0:27:22- Hi.- Hi.- Where do I have to stand?
0:27:22 > 0:27:24I don't know. I haven't figured that out yet.

0:28:10 > 0:28:13- My two numpties never opened up two chalets yesterday...- Oh, no.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16..because I didn't have it on the list.
