Series 9: Downhill Highs

Eight years ago, mountain biker Sean Green set himself an immense challenge - to take his bike up and down all of Scotland’s highest mountains, the Munros. This documentary follows Sean as he reaches the final stages of his epic project.\n\nSean has loved bikes and Scotland’s hills from a young age, and one day he decided to combine the two by taking his bike to the top of all 282 Munros in Scotland. Munros are Scottish mountains with a height of over 3,000 feet, many with difficult terrain and dangerous conditions. It's no mean feat, especially when there’s the Scottish weather to contend with, and the logistics of travelling to some of the most remote areas in the country while also working full-time and being with his family. It might have taken a little longer than he first expected, but Sean has never given up on his dream.\n\nWith Sean nearing the end of the challenge, we follow him as he tackles some of Scotland’s most remote Munros in Fisherfield in the north west Highlands, and two mountains in the iconic Cuillin ridge on the Isle of Skye. The documentary shows what one man’s determination, skill, patience and audacity can achieve.
