Walking the Himalayas

[Greshamst]

I admire what he's doing, and I think the scenery is absolutely breathtaking.

However I do find he hams it up a bit. Especially in the 'walking the Nile' when there was gunfire happening at the next town along. He was hiding on the roof, and really dramatizing something that was a good few miles away. Granted I'd crap myself if I was there, but I'm not an ex-soldier.

My favourite bit is when they bumped into the afghani hill tribe and one of the guys was off his tits on happiness to be visited and just picks up a goat and shoves it into Levison's arms. 'ermmmm what am I supposed to do with this?'

good series - interesting guy.

anyone who enjoyed the Nile series should read the book. the tragic events that happened on that trek are extremely well written - everything is in much more depth than a few hours of edited footage can show.

Have just watched it, they are very lucky to have all survived.

[Patch1875]

Really enjoying this and as said lucky to get out relatively unscathed.

Anyone read his books are they worth getting?

[Halb]

Watched a bit of it, really enjoyed the ear cleaning and shave.

Just caught up on the third episode of this and really enjoyed it, that crash looked absolutely terrifying. I can't imagine how unpleasant it would be if it all happened in the UK, never mind a small village in Nepal. Fair play to him for trying to ride it out locally first, that x-ray

This series just finished. Really enjoyed it.

My wife and I really enjoyed it, annoyed it has ended as it was pretty much the only thing worth watching on TV (although James May's Cars of the People is quite good). Hoping there will be a new series from him in the future as I really liked Walking the Nile as well.

I felt a bit sad for Billod that he never got the chance to summit the peak at the end.

Agreed, that was a huge shame!

Argh, missed the final episode. Anyone know when its on again?

[Rosscow]

Great series. Thoroughly enjoyable. Some breathtaking scenery! Would love to be able to do something like this one day, however it'll just never happen.

I've seen pictures and film of Mount Everest loads but for some reason while watching this show it just appeared utterly majestic. There was nothing fancy about the camera angles but it looked truly enormous.

Entire series on 4OD!

He was on one of the morning tv shows last week and apparently he's looking at several options for his next walk (which will keep his female admirers happy as he's become a bit of a sex symbol aswell)

[rsv gone!]

I thought it was great. The whole area fascinates me.

[Dick Dastardly]

I wonder what happened to the little black dog that was following them in the last episode? The presenter said that he'd followed them for miles but he wasn't with them at the end in the final camp. Seeing as the little critter was scared of the bridge, how did he get home?

[Beati Dogu]

He was lunch.

I don't know actually. Perhaps it's in his book, which is out now. I'd like to get that myself.

Those yaks were amazing too.
