NC500 Channel 5 Saturdat 3rd August

[Scotia]

Britain's most beautiful road NC 500 Documentary. 'They should be embarrassed', say NC500 locals as new Channel 4 doc shows vital work of rangers axed by council https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/mo...dium=sharebar_native&utm_campaign=sharebaramp

Can someone please change the title channel 4 Saturday.

Typical Sun, giving Meek so much cover, and out comes the usual accusations about us all dumping our chemical waste inappropriately, clogging up the roads when only 2-3% of the vehicles are motorhomes. Hopefully the programme will include input from CAMpRA, and recognition is given to all of the good work both they and Highland council have done.

I didn’t realise it was going to be more than just the one episode. Continued next week - but you may be able to watch the whole lot on Cannel 4 catch up etc.? Haven’t checked yet

4 episodes I believe,I only read the headline and thought it may have been against the popularity of the route. Will watch it later tonight.

So far It’s more like a “travelogue”, Sam.

Flicked through it just now in the van on catch up. Rubbish.

The Suns article had nothing to do with part one.
It covered what the rangers did, a couple who hired out a Motorhome for the first time, and a young couple who run their own surfing business. It highlighted things to see and do whilst on the NC 500. My only problem with this programme is it further advertises this over used route which will only make matters worse. Currently the NC 500 receives 7 million visitors a year, ( not all in motorhomes ) that’s more than the population of Scotland. But let’s see what the other three episodes offer.

Ok, thanks Kev. I didn’t actually look for myself. Sometimes all episodes of a series are available to watch before they’d been aired on mainstream TV first, sometimes not

Only interesting bit was when the Motorhome hirer hit something before he even travelled the length of the van
