Author and outdoor expert, Chris Townsend, talks to John D. Burns about his latest trip along the Cape Wrath Trail and looks at what has been happening in the Cairngorm National park over recent years.
When will we see Lynx return to the Highlands? What effect will beaver have on the landscape of the Spey Valley? What is the future of the Cairngorm ski development as the effects of global warming make themselves felt on our winters? These are just a few of the topics discussed by John and Chris in this half hour conversation.
