00:01Grabbing a short break in the fresh air, away from the daily grind, is my way of recharging.
00:09A road like this forces you to take a look at your surroundings.
00:16Luckily, the North East always delivers, and Bonnie Scotland is on my doorstep.
00:23Please don't make me go back to London.
00:25The trick is finding things to do that make your heart soar.
00:33Singing is a bit like an internal spa treatment.
00:36Tony Allen Shearer, keep it together Robson, keep it together.
00:39And spending time in good company.
00:46Guys, I'm actually blushing.
00:49He said I was meeting Brian Robson.
00:53Can be a great way of bringing balance back into our lives.
00:58You smashed that.
01:00I'm not really staring Robson, I'm trusting in God.
01:03Welcome to the outdoors love.
01:05I've got three ducks there, that's very cute.
01:08Cheers.
01:08To companionship.
01:11You had a good day?
01:12The best.
01:23I just love it when a weekend escape kicks off with a drive through stunning scenery.
01:29It's so beautiful in Bonnie Scotland this morning.
01:33I'm just a few hours north of Hexham, travelling to the gateway to the Highlands and a land of dense
01:40forests, dramatic mountains and big rivers.
01:43Pit Lockery in Perthshire.
01:45I'm going to be joined by someone who has been described as a beacon of resilience, courage and unwavering determination.
01:56A former Royal Marine, his life took a dramatic turn when he suffered life changing injuries from a bomb blast
02:04in Afghanistan.
02:05However, despite those injuries, he refused to be defined by adversity.
02:12It is the one and only JJ Chalmers.
02:18Originally from Edinburgh, JJ spent a lot of his childhood in this idyllic part of the country.
02:24And now, as a gold medal winner at the Invictus Games, an enthusiastic DIYer and a busy TV presenter and
02:32broadcaster, I hope he's going to welcome a couple of days off the clock.
02:40There he is.
02:42Right on time.
02:44And an opportunity to revisit some of his favourite haunts as a kid.
02:49Hello, mate.
02:50How are you, lad?
02:51Very well.
02:51You looking forward to this weekend away?
02:53I can't wait.
02:55Get your bag in the back.
02:56Let's go.
02:58As we're in JJ's neck of the woods, and this area is brand new to me, he's going to be
03:04choosing much of our itinerary.
03:07So we're making our first stop at a mountain pass at Killy Cranky, just a few miles north from here.
03:15Growing up, did the landscape have a lot to do with keeping you here?
03:19Massive.
03:20So I grew up on the south side of Edinburgh, literally on a street that overlooked the Pentland Hills.
03:26So I felt like I was from the city, but equally I had the countryside.
03:30And then, listen, of course, I ended up, you know, joining the Marines when I was 17, and a big
03:37part of that was I wanted to have a life that would take me outside.
03:41I'll make you blush, maybe.
03:42Honestly, my first memories of the military were Soldier Soldier.
03:46No.
03:46They weren't?
03:47I'm sorry about that, it weren't.
03:49Really?
03:50Yeah, it would probably be that, and then, you know, I really wanted to know, like, can I be a
03:55commando?
03:55Like, could I join that club?
03:57I mean, it's interesting you're saying, you're watching Soldier Soldier, because it was one of the greatest recruiting tools that
04:04the army had.
04:06There were people in Newcastle, young lads, going to the recruitment centre.
04:10I don't know if it's still there.
04:12And they're saying, I want to join the King's On Fusiliers.
04:14And the guy went, doesn't exist, it's Teleman.
04:17They're making it up.
04:18Amazing.
04:18People wanted to join our regiment.
04:20But I did enjoy the adventure, because I really got an insight into the world of not only how physically
04:28fit you've got to be, but how mentally fit you've got to be to be a Marine.
04:31I mean, I was 17, so I was super fit anyway, but that's my number one piece of advice to
04:36anyone that wants to join the Marines, is be 17 years old.
04:43We've come to Killy Cranky Pass, a spectacular wooded gorge that's carved through by the River Garry, and a site
04:50of special interest for its flora and fauna.
04:55So how well do you know Killy Cranky?
04:57It's been a long time since I've been here.
04:59I remember coming on a school trip when we were learning about the Jacobites back in primary five, so year
05:07five.
05:07And it always just stays in my head, because it's a great sort of famous ambush that happened down here.
05:13You can imagine the red coats on a run or whatever it was.
05:17Yeah.
05:19It's hard to believe a grisly 17th century battle was fought here, because it's now the epitome of tranquillity.
05:27And to find out more about how special it is, we're meeting Ranger Louise Cameron.
05:32Louise, how are you?
05:33Hi there, welcome to the Pass of Killy Cranky.
05:35Who runs guided walks of the gorge for National Trust for Scotland.
05:43So why do you find this area so special Louise?
05:46I used to holiday here as a kid, and I think it always had a place in my heart.
05:49You're just into the kind of wilderness really, and the sort of gateway to the Highlands as they call it.
05:52Yeah.
05:53You've got so much to say, the wildlife, the woodlands, the rivers, sort of, that ticks all my boxes really.
05:59Not too shabby of you there, Louise.
06:02It's pretty good, isn't it?
06:03Every day's a good day in the outdoors, isn't it?
06:04It is, I mean, this stuff is just good for the soul.
06:07And I mean, it's got it all, doesn't it? It's got trees, got a little bit of water.
06:10I mean, when you can hear water, that's what's so nice.
06:13Do you find it as a source of strength in your life, being in the outdoors?
06:16Could you imagine a life without it?
06:18Absolutely not, no.
06:19I mean, I'm the type of person that could imagine being deserted on a desert island or something like that.
06:24I'd be pretty happy.
06:29Legend has it that the Jacobite fighting here was so fierce,
06:33one infantryman escaped pursuit by jumping 18 feet across the river to safety.
06:41And the location has been known forevermore as Soldier's Leap.
06:47You still lead an incredibly active, busy life.
06:51Are you a person who can easily switch off?
06:54I'm working on it because I'm always chasing the next thing.
06:58So to actually make sure that you're present in those moments is really important to me.
07:02Talking about doing the next thing, what are you and I doing next?
07:05I was thinking we'll have a little go at Soldier's Leap.
07:08Easy, mate.
07:10I've just discovered that's not a leap.
07:12Well, what I've got in mind is a little bit bigger, but you won't get your feet wet.
07:17So don't worry.
07:18Let's go.
07:20Let's go.
07:24With over 200,000 acres of woodland, it's small wonder that Perthshire is known as Big Tree Country.
07:33And what better way to immerse yourself in the forest and get your adrenaline pumping than with a high wire
07:39zip through those treetops.
07:42So today we're meeting Jamie and Fergus.
07:47How are you, Robson?
07:48How's it going?
07:48I'm Jamie. Nice to meet you.
07:49Jamie, good to see you.
07:50JJ, Robson.
07:52Who are both guides at Killy Cranky's zip park.
07:55So what are we likely to expect today?
07:58We've got 11 zip lines in total.
08:00What?
08:00We have two river crossings.
08:02Those are really good fun.
08:03So the first river crossing is 80 metres long and then the second river crossing is 110 metres long.
08:08Wow.
08:09Right.
08:09That's length, not height.
08:10Are we going on those?
08:11Yeah.
08:12Dude!
08:13That sounds fast.
08:15You'll see.
08:15Okay.
08:16You'll see.
08:18I'm beginning to wish I'd had proper military training like JJ.
08:23So pop your feet through the front two loops there.
08:25Facing that way?
08:26Yeah, facing out that.
08:28I bet he can do this in his sleep.
08:31I used to do this kind of stuff for a living to the point where I couldn't even enjoy it
08:35because you just had to be serious about it.
08:37Really?
08:37So actually it's more of a case of actually being able to enjoy it for once to be quite nice
08:41because I'm doing it without the stakes being too high and no one shouting at me.
08:44Oh, we'll be shouting at you.
08:46Oh, here we go.
08:47Is that a promise?
08:48Yeah.
08:48What about you?
08:49I'm definitely stepping outside my comfort zone.
08:52Nice.
08:52But it's good for the endorphins, man.
08:55Yeah.
08:55Good for getting rid of the cortisol levels.
08:58All anxieties shall float away amongst the Scots plane.
09:03Our first test is to whizz across a wire to land on a platform 30 feet up a pine tree.
09:09This one onto the magnet.
09:11That one onto the magnet.
09:12Trolley in the middle.
09:13Sit those on the ears.
09:15One hand on top.
09:15One hand bunch there.
09:16Sit down, lift your feet.
09:17Sweet.
09:18I'm going to shoot across this zip line first.
09:20I'll give you a thumbs up.
09:21You can get yourself clipped on and come on over.
09:23See you on the other side, Jamie.
09:25See you.
09:25See you on the other side, JJ.
09:34Nicely done.
09:37Ready?
09:44I'll work on the landing.
09:46You've done that before.
09:47I don't know if you've looked down yet.
09:48Oh, you shouldn't have said that.
09:50It's so high.
09:51Whoa.
09:54How many is that we've done?
09:55Three or four?
09:56Lost count already.
09:57Lost count?
09:58Because we're enjoying ourselves.
10:00Brings the kid out in, yeah.
10:03Zipping along this web of wires through the canopy has brought us to the first of our two gorge crossings.
10:11Look at that.
10:13Look at that.
10:14Here we are.
10:15Do you guys remember how long this one is?
10:1680 metres.
10:17That's right.
10:18See you.
10:20Whoa!
10:23That is done apparently.
10:25Right.
10:25Here we go.
10:27Woo-hoo!
10:29Woo-hoo-hoo!
10:33Whoa!
10:41Honestly, Jamie, this is wonderful.
10:44It's a dream, right?
10:45Oh, man.
10:46Right.
10:47Enjoy the view.
10:57Hey!
10:58How good is that?
10:59What a sight!
11:01Man!
11:02What a sight!
11:03I know, and look at the height of the tree you come from!
11:05Wow!
11:07Finally, we've reached the piece de resistance of our aerial adventure.
11:13Starting from a platform 70 feet up and travelling 110 metres across the river, this is the longest zip line
11:21I've ever been on in my life.
11:23So I'm gonna head down first, and I'll call you guys over by showing all clear as well, okay?
11:28Nice one.
11:35It's the all clear, JJ.
11:37This is the last one, so make sure you enjoy it.
11:40What a way to connect with nature.
11:42Right?
11:42Lovely.
11:43Woo-hoo!
11:44Yeah, man!
11:55That was amazing.
11:57What a rush.
11:59What an incredible perspective we've had of the Perthshire countryside.
12:04Right!
12:04Woo-hoo!
12:14Oh-ho-ho!
12:15He's coming in!
12:16He's coming in hot!
12:19Not as elegant a landing as your good self.
12:22Good man.
12:23How was that, JJ?
12:25That was a great ride.
12:27And I don't think either of us are going to forget flying over the River Garry any time soon.
12:33Thanks a lot.
12:35It's been a pleasure.
12:36Come under.
12:36Right!
12:37How are we gonna top that?
12:40What?
12:40You got something better than the pass at Kelly Cranky?
12:43Perthshire has plenty to offer, don't you worry.
12:48I can imagine it has.
12:50But for now, it's time to stand down and go in search of our beds.
12:55And that means a 45 minute drive east through picturesque landscapes.
13:00And an opportunity, perhaps, to talk about the most traumatic event in JJ's military career.
13:10Obviously, you're incredibly active with your time in the Marines.
13:13Do you miss being in the Marines?
13:15Ah, yeah.
13:15Yeah.
13:16Like, I mean, I had a good run.
13:18It was great when I did it.
13:20Clearly, I would have wanted to do it for a whole lot longer than I did.
13:23You know, obviously, my career was cut short.
13:25But I am lucky enough, like, that I'm still active.
13:29I'm lucky enough that I'm still here.
13:31Do you mind talking about what actually happened and what you actually remember of the incident?
13:36Yeah.
13:36Yeah.
13:37Well, I was part of a team.
13:38We were searching a bomb-making factory, of all things.
13:41Unfortunately, one of these improvised exposed devices went off and it just tore through what we would call our multiple.
13:47So, there was about ten of us on the ground that day.
13:50And, um, Ching Tso, three of us were wounded and three of the lads were killed as well.
13:55So, you know, it absolutely devastated, you know, the small amount of lads that were there anyway.
14:01But thankfully, some blokes were alive.
14:03I was flown back, came back to the UK within about 48 hours, and then woke up from an induced
14:09coma about a week or so later.
14:11And that was it.
14:13A whole new life and a whole new world lay ahead of me.
14:15And when you were discharged from hospital...
14:17Yeah.
14:18I read somewhere that you said you thought you were fixed, but you weren't.
14:24Yeah.
14:25They built me a new body, and so then I needed to learn how to use that body.
14:30So, from hospital, you then have to go to rehab.
14:32And that's where they kind of teach you, like, all of these human functions that you've lost.
14:37Like, you couldn't feed yourself, couldn't dress yourself.
14:39And obviously, with that, like, there's some seriously hard work, not just physically, but mentally.
14:45What an incident to survive.
14:47And what a reminder to keep making memories with good company.
14:51Doing the things that bring us joy.
14:54Today has certainly been that for me, and I hope it has been for JJ too.
14:59And that we can finish his day off in style, with some R&R in the lodgings I've lined up
15:04for him.
15:06Surrounded by mountains and stunning scenery, Dalnoid near Glenshee has three stylish cottages,
15:13two luxury tree houses, and a cosy shepherd's hut.
15:18It's got the view.
15:21Not too shabby.
15:22This is lovely.
15:25This remote sanctuary in this lovely pocket of Perthshire is partly run by Tracy Morris.
15:31Hello, hello.
15:33Hello.
15:33Welcome to Dalnoid.
15:34She helps out her parents, who own the place, and who relocated here from Exmoor.
15:41Well, you've got a choice of accommodation tonight.
15:44We've got two of the luxury tree houses, with beautiful stunning views, and a shepherd's hut.
15:50Very luxury, though.
15:51It's not just a normal shepherd's hut.
15:52OK, there's no sheep in it.
15:53No, you're all right.
15:54And they've all got this view.
15:56Yeah.
15:56All got amazing views.
15:57All got hot tubs.
16:01Well, I'm a big believer in small is often beautiful.
16:05So I'm opting for the shepherd's hut, which leaves JJ with one of the beautiful secluded
16:12tree houses.
16:13So, JJ, this is your tree house for this evening.
16:17Look at this!
16:19This is Scots pine.
16:20This is gorgeous.
16:21So you've got a 180-degree vista from your glass balcony outside.
16:25Straight in front of us over there is Mount Blair.
16:28About two and a half hours of climb it, if you want to.
16:30And right over you, you've got Galenchi.
16:32So you've got the ski centre and everything up there for the winter.
16:34I used to ski there as a wee boy.
16:35There you go.
16:36If you went over the hill the other side, you've got Balmoral Castle.
16:39Wow.
16:40Got real neighbours.
16:40I know that too.
16:41Yeah.
16:42Enjoy it.
16:42I hope you have a really good evening.
16:44I certainly will.
16:45I'll see you later.
16:46This is such a peaceful place to stay the night, which is a good job, because I know
16:51tomorrow is going to be even more packed than today.
17:01We're up bright and extra early this morning, eager to start the next part of our Perthshire
17:06countryside adventure.
17:08Did you sleep well?
17:09How was your shepherd's hot?
17:11It was lovely.
17:12The shepherd's life works for you.
17:13Yes, it does.
17:15I think it was really comfy, man.
17:16Really comfy and quiet.
17:18It was lovely.
17:19How was yours?
17:21It was lovely.
17:22I'm relieved JJ's well rested, because we're both up at 5am to have a go at something
17:28that's more often seen in somewhat snowier and colder climes.
17:33We must be barking mad.
17:35Do you have pets?
17:36No.
17:37Don't actually.
17:38We had a dog growing up.
17:40And we felt absolutely adored.
17:43Do you like dogs?
17:44Yeah.
17:44I do like a dog.
17:46I'm glad you like dogs and I'm glad you like their company, because in Perthshire this
17:50morning, we're going husky racing.
17:53What?
17:54We're going husky racing.
17:56I know.
17:57OK, because the last thing I would expect on this blue sky weekend is to suddenly be engulfed
18:03in snow.
18:03But I presume, I presume there's wheels on?
18:07Well, we're going to find out.
18:13The Boland Trails Husky Experience is only one of a few dedicated training centres of its
18:19kind in Britain.
18:21Set in 220 acres, it gives visitors the chance to speed through this unspoilt landscape on
18:28a sled, on wheels, powered by ten Siberian Huskies.
18:33I've not seen any snow.
18:40And it's all down to the hard work of husband and wife team John and Mary Carter.
18:48Hello.
18:49Mary Robinson.
18:50Hi.
18:50Nice to meet you.
18:51Who are both international champions in husky racing.
18:57So, John, tell me, how did all this start?
18:59How did you guys end up in the Perthshire hills with all these huskies?
19:03My brother and sister-in-law own six huskies.
19:06My brother died suddenly.
19:07And I was looking after the dogs and my sister-in-law.
19:10And somebody said, why don't you go over the forest and give them a run?
19:13So I did that, and I was hooked.
19:14One run.
19:15One run, life changed.
19:16Really?
19:17Yeah, absolutely, yeah.
19:18So, Mary, do JJ and I need a costume change?
19:21Yeah, if you guys want to go and get ready.
19:23And then we'll get the dogs organised and see you up in the forest.
19:27Great.
19:31JJ's kindly let me have first dibs.
19:34And because huskies are bred to race in cold to freezing temperatures
19:38and we need to get out before the heat and humidity rise,
19:41there's no time to waste.
19:43And no time to back out now.
19:47Okay, let's go!
19:48Woohoo!
19:50Oh my God!
19:53Thank you, guys!
19:53This is incredible!
19:56So how fast are we going?
19:58Probably about 20 miles an hour.
20:00It feels like 150, especially when you're low to the ground like this.
20:04And we Highland Coup!
20:07I bet kids love this.
20:09Yeah, they do.
20:10They do.
20:10I regularly have a lady who's coming up to 89 years old.
20:16Wow!
20:17It's a real leveller.
20:19And, you know, when you get folk coming,
20:22particularly people with autism,
20:24it just gives them a way of communicating.
20:28Dogs just open up everything for them, I suppose.
20:34You've obviously got an incredibly close relationship with your dogs.
20:38Yeah.
20:38It's just complete love and trust with each other.
20:41Yeah.
20:41Yeah, they're awesome.
20:44Look at what we're doing.
20:46Look at that view.
20:47Look at where I am.
20:48How many people get to do this?
20:50Hot!
20:51What a great way to start the morning.
20:56Being transported by these dogs deep in the countryside
20:59feels almost like a primal experience.
21:05Right, here they come.
21:07It's almost my turn.
21:10And having covered five kilometres in 15 minutes...
21:16Ooh!
21:17That was amazing.
21:19I'm glad you enjoyed that.
21:21It's time for a break,
21:23so the dogs can have a drink of water and a well-earned rest.
21:27There we go.
21:29There you go.
21:30Enjoy.
21:30You sat out in the woods and I could just hear dogs howling,
21:33and then...
21:34And then...
21:35Yeah, so you...
21:36Mate, you're going to enjoy it.
21:37I can't wait.
21:38You're going to enjoy it.
21:39I can't believe the stamina these dogs have.
21:43After 20 minutes, they're back up and raring to go.
21:46Ready, kids?
21:47OK?
21:47Let's go, let's go!
21:50There's no gentle acceleration.
21:52They're really...
21:54Good dogs.
21:55Well done.
21:55Whoa!
21:59What a way to rip through the forest.
22:04What age are all these dogs, Russell?
22:06Well, seven of these on this team are all litter mates.
22:09They're a complete litter.
22:11Um...
22:12Wow.
22:12They will be seven.
22:14Copper, who's the tall guy at the front, he is eight.
22:18And the two at the back...
22:20They'll be ten.
22:24You can tell we're having fun, but they...
22:26You know, they're still working hard.
22:28Yeah, they're putting a big shift in.
22:30And it only works because they're working together.
22:32Everyone's doing their bit.
22:39There we go, kids.
22:41In we go.
22:43The best shade.
22:45Good dogs.
22:46Not done.
22:48Very good dogs.
22:49All done.
22:51How's that?
22:52I'm really blown away by all of this.
22:55Like, what a set-up.
22:56What a team.
22:57What a bit of kit.
22:58What a pilot.
22:59It's been a real privilege to see how these ten dogs act as one for Mary.
23:06Mary, thank you so much.
23:08That was everything I imagined it would be and more.
23:09Thank you, seriously.
23:11Yeah.
23:11That was awesome.
23:13John, thank you, man.
23:14Thank you, John.
23:16And thanks to this lot.
23:17I know.
23:21And after that exhilarating start to our day, we can catch our breath with a half-hour drive south to
23:28enjoy our last treat together.
23:31What a relationship to have with that number of animals.
23:36That's contentment, isn't it?
23:38Yeah.
23:40For a little change of pace, JJ suggested we go to the Black Ruthven estate on the outskirts of Perth
23:47to meet an old pal of his, Martin Tyler.
23:54Martin.
23:55Hi, JJ.
23:56How are you getting on?
23:56I'm good.
23:57Good to see you again.
23:59Martin runs dry stone walling workshops because he's passionate about passing on his skills to anyone who wants to have
24:06a go.
24:06So, are we doing a bit of dry stone walling today?
24:11Is that what you call it up here?
24:12Dry stain dyking.
24:13Dry stain dyking.
24:15Dry stain dyking.
24:16Dry stain dyking.
24:16Or dry stone walling is the kind of...
24:18Whoever knows what both are.
24:19Well, Martin, it's a first for me.
24:21Right.
24:21So, honestly, I'm your apprentice.
24:25Okay, guys.
24:25There's a few basic rules you want to follow to make sure the wall is getting built back properly.
24:30So, the first one is lengthen.
24:33Strong as long.
24:34See how these stones are laid like this?
24:36So, all the length goes inside the wall, making it strong.
24:40The next rule is crossing your joints.
24:42So, the only kind of common thing with brickwork is this stone's going on the wall.
24:46You don't want to lay like that.
24:48You want to make sure you cross that joint.
24:50Okay?
24:50And another really important rule, more the aesthetics of it.
24:55So, that side of the wall, as you can see, faces a forest.
24:58So, deer might see this wall.
25:01On this side of the wall, there's going to be walkers.
25:03So, this side is the nicer.
25:06And that side's the sous side, or the sow, a pig's side.
25:09So, sow side, lair sides.
25:11And in this part of the world in Perthshire, we lay our top stones vertical.
25:15So, our cope stones go across the wall like that.
25:18And that changes throughout the UK.
25:20So, Aberdeenshire, they've got big, flat, wide stones at the top of the wall.
25:25In Northern England, they lay their stones diagonally.
25:27So, it's the way the land's laying on a hill.
25:29So, if one slips out, the weight carries down the wall to stop them falling.
25:34I'll let you guys decide who wants to be on the nicest side of the wall.
25:37Right, let's make something that's built to last.
25:40Another 150 years, eh?
25:42Yes.
25:43The first job is selecting the right stone to work with.
25:48Flip it.
25:48Flip it like that?
25:49Perfect, that's it.
25:50And you want it to come down to the wall here.
25:52Put it there?
25:53That's it, yeah. Give it a clonk.
25:54That felt quite satisfying.
25:56It did sat well, didn't it?
25:57So, let's push it right up against here.
25:59And that leaves us plenty of room to get this gap filled in here.
26:04Always pick up the biggest stone you see first.
26:07That's a perfect one, Robson.
26:08I've got to keep reminding myself, JJ.
26:11Aye.
26:11You taught design technology.
26:13Yeah, so I've been tinkering away with my hands my whole life.
26:16This is who I am on the weekends, getting my hands dirty, fixing stuff.
26:21Being a teacher while in the marine reserves must have been motivating to JJ's pupils.
26:27And Martin's hoping his workshops are the way to inspire the next generation too.
26:33The biggest thing that we face is getting younger people into the job.
26:36For all the times I've advertised to get staff,
26:38I've never had anyone that's even early 20s want to come forward.
26:43So, it would be good to get some younger people in.
26:47I can see how you could get in a flow state with this.
26:51Having to focus really keeps your mind in the present moment.
26:55It's one of those activities, isn't it?
26:57You just get totally engrossed in.
26:59Yeah.
26:59I completely get it.
27:01I mean, this is the thing with Drystone Waller, working any job outside.
27:05It does wonders for you.
27:06It really does.
27:06You're being physical.
27:08You're using your hands to build something.
27:11Constant contact with the ground.
27:13It's what you all want to be doing.
27:15So, I'm very happy with my layered side.
27:17Let me just come and have a look at your south side.
27:19Rock solid.
27:20Over you come.
27:21No coming.
27:24Oh, yeah.
27:25You've done that before.
27:26Yeah, it's been great, JJ.
27:27Very impressed with it.
27:29Martin, what a great way to spend a couple of hours.
27:32Thanks, man.
27:32No problem at all.
27:33I think we've laid the foundation for something beautiful, don't you?
27:35Yes.
27:36Yeah.
27:36Mate.
27:37Thanks so much.
27:39That was great fun.
27:40Pleasure, pal.
27:41Absolutely love it.
27:43It's a great sign of a successful escape when your mind feels at peace and your body refreshed
27:50after just a couple of days in the great outdoors.
27:53But above all, it was spending time with JJ that I loved the most.
27:59Mate, it has been about the landscape and nature and the wildlife, but I've enjoyed your company, man.
28:04Oh, big time.
28:05Seriously.
28:05I've really, really enjoyed it, mate.
28:07Stay in touch, man.
28:08I will do.
28:09I will do.
28:10Thanks for it.
28:11Right.
28:12Let's get you home, JJ.
28:41All right.
28:42Let's get you home.
28:43Everything is great.
28:44This is the 1st episode of sweetenheit.
