Some of you will be familiar with outdoors blogger and film-maker Terry Abraham, who writes the Terrybnd (http://terrybnd.blogspot.co.uk/) blog.
Terry Abraham is a self-taught filmmaker and photographer with a passion for the great outdoors. After being made redundant from an IT role, he took the opportunity to develop his video skills and carve out a career inspiring the public to the scenic countryside on offer in the United Kingdom.
Well, tonight the BBC are showing a 1 hour edit of his recent movie, Life of a Mountain: Scafell Pike. It is on BBC4 tonight at 9pm.
The documentary contains interviews with local authors and broadcasters such as David Powell-Thompson, Eric Robson and Mark Richards along with mountaineer Alan Hinkes, fellrunner Joss Naylor, outdoor writer and photographer Chris Townsend and Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team. The programme was filmed over a 12-month period and follows the seasons on the mountain from spring lambs through to winter snows.

I'm looking forward to it. Having seen clips from it, Terry is a very talented videographer. I'm sure it will be inspirational. So tune in or set record.

Ah you beat me to it, though I was too busy watching it to post anything here for it. Can recommend it highly to everyone and anyone, an hour of looking at great mountain scenery so you can't ask for much better stuff.
