Synopsis

Often described as the world's toughest race, each year nearly 400 men and women run up and down Britain's highest mountain in under 4 hours- and the fastest do it in one and a half. The Ben Nevis race started in 1895 and since then it's known knows no equal. We're also off to Tiree for the final event in the Windsurfing World Cup and discovering why in 1934 two canoists decided to paddle from Glasgow to Skye- with only a car inner tube for safety.
