Weatherman Walking Series 6: Episode Guide & Ratings

Weatherman Derek Brockway shows that west is not always best where walking is concerned, with two wonderful walks a stone's throw from the English border. In the first walk Derek takes to the hills overlooking Abergavenny where he scales the Skirrid, an accessible hill that feels like a proper mountain. He then heads to Holywell where he takes a dip in St Winifride's Well, and on down the Greenfield Valley to the coastal path along the Dee Estuary, finishing at Flint Castle.

Weatherman Derek Brockway heads off on two contrasting walks at opposite ends of the country. He sets off from Llanberis in the footsteps of quarry workers, along paths and tracks through an ancient oak woodland and on through the impressive old Dinorwig quarry with spectacular views of Snowdonia's highest peaks and the valley below. Derek then heads to Llanelli for an 11-mile walk beside the Loughor estuary along a coastal path that's an ideal training route for speedy wheelchair athlete Richie Powell.

Derek heads off on two contrasting walks - one in rural Radnorshire and the other along the clifftop footpaths and beautiful bays of Anglesey's far north coast. In the middle of Wales, the first walk takes Derek on a nine-mile loop, starting and ending in the market town of Rhayader and taking in the Gilfach Nature Reserve along the way. He then heads along Anglesey's costal path from Wylfa, through the harbour town of Cemaes Bay to Porthwen.

The second in the new series, weatherman Derek Brockway heads off on two walks with a difference. First he goes around Cardiff Bay the Scandinavian way as he tries out a spot of nordic walking, with instruction provided by fellow TV presenter Frances Donovan. Derek then joins a very active group of mums with babies and toddlers, the Corris Buggywalkers, for a walk around a now peaceful and secluded valley still dotted here and there with evidence of its slate mining past.
