He meets two groups, both raising money for 主播大秀 Children in Need by climbing local peaks with stunning views of the surrounding countryside; The Wrekin and The Stiperstones. Having been told about rambles happening across the length and breadth of the country Tom harnesses the power of modern technology to drop in on rambles taking place further afield, from the Scottish borders to Devon and as he discovers, it鈥檚 not just people who are doing the walking but a group of alpaca too.
