TVTranscript
00:00This time we're exploring new Scottish waters.
00:03We have been west, we've been north, we've been east.
00:06So it's only polite that we go south.
00:10We're going swimming and beyond.
00:14To discover new pastimes, people, and places.
00:21This is like apocalypse now, but with women.
00:23As we make our way across the Scottish borders through Dumfries and Galloway
00:27and all the way to Scotland's southernmost tip.
00:30This is Scotland's forgotten corner, but not for us because we're here.
00:34We're putting the world to rights while getting very wet.
00:37Have we got down? We'll get down together.
00:39And very, very cold.
00:41I'm alive!
00:43As the temperature drops.
00:45You feel quite dizzy when it's that cold.
00:47On our autumnal October swim venture.
00:50I was effervescent. I was swimming in cold champagne.
00:54It's going to be epic.
00:55Yes, team!
01:12This is a land of mystery to me, these Scottish borders.
01:16It's so picturesque, and I can't believe we've never swam down here.
01:20That river Tweed is absolutely stunning.
01:26We're heading west and inland to Inner Leathen to get properly stuck into the southern Scottish borders.
01:32Like a pair of breeding salmon, but in a camper van.
01:35We're racing up the river Tweed.
01:36We were going for a swim.
01:38I've always said we should try swimming, Jules.
01:40Shush, Hempy, but there's a twist.
01:43We're going to go foraging.
01:45What do you think of that?
01:46And tell by your face you're not...
01:48No, no, what about mushrooms?
01:49I don't know.
01:50We're trying new things, you know.
01:52Greg's got a wee fact for us.
01:54The word Tweed is the old Celtic word for border.
01:59Is it?
02:00Yeah.
02:01Thanks, Greg.
02:02How do borders get built?
02:04They get built through battles.
02:05Yeah, battles.
02:06Big, mad battles.
02:07This place is so historical.
02:09I feel as if I'm channelling Bonnie Prince, Charlie, you know.
02:13Mary Queen of Scots.
02:14Mary Queen of Scots.
02:15And I know you're not the keenest of campers, so I thought we'd lean into the area's history tonight.
02:21We're going to the oldest inhabited house in Scotland.
02:26You're kidding?
02:26No.
02:27So a cave then?
02:28Cozy?
02:29No, the oldest continuously inhabited house.
02:33It's 900 years old. Do you know what that means?
02:36It probably means that...
02:38There's 900 years, of course.
02:40I know what I was going to say.
02:42I'm into it.
02:43A lady, romance is a place.
02:47Here is our most ancient, humble accommodation duels.
02:52Do you think Elizabeth I was like, is it pronounced Trecare or Trequire?
02:56She doesn't ask anyone to pronounce it.
02:58She just says it how she says it and nobody corrects her.
03:01Absolutely.
03:02Well, they get their heads up.
03:02That's going to be me today.
03:06That is unbelievable.
03:09That is haunted.
03:19Look at you, it's so beautiful.
03:22We're not going in there yet.
03:23We've got to go meet Ingrid first for the foraging and then a swim.
03:26I need a swim.
03:27Me too.
03:28Do you think they'll have Frados on this forage?
03:30Star bars and that.
03:33Hi, Ingrid.
03:34Ingrid is the Ng of Tweed Valley Wilding and she hosts guided walks and swims in the local area.
03:41So do we find ingredients and we make something with that?
03:44So, we've got a teapot.
03:45I've picked a bit of water mint from the river.
03:47Oh, lovely.
03:48So that's the beginning of our tea.
03:50Right.
03:50And then I'm going to make you a chivalry bite over the fire.
03:54I'm glad we're with an expert.
03:55Foraging is not without its risks.
03:58We'll be picking stuff that's easy to identify.
04:01It's really important because there are lots of look-alikes.
04:04There are some really, really toxic things as well.
04:07So, no mushrooms then.
04:10So, the first thing we're going to go for is there's an elderberry.
04:15Beautiful.
04:15Glossy fruits.
04:17It's not great to eat raw.
04:18It kind of needs a bit of cooking.
04:20So, we're going to add it as a little bit of extra into our chivalry bite.
04:23Okay.
04:24And we're also going to put some in our teapot.
04:26You're handy for the foraging because you're so tall.
04:27I know.
04:28We might watch and set the time.
04:31Set the time is gone.
04:33The wonderful thing about foraging is it makes you slow down because you're looking for stuff.
04:37It's a really, really nice way to interact with the natural world.
04:41Spider on it.
04:41Look.
04:41Oh, look.
04:42Oh, yeah.
04:42He's also into his foraging.
04:44So, right.
04:44That's our elderberries.
04:46Yeah, you're foraging.
04:47I'm foraging.
04:52Foraged food has so much nutrition in it.
04:54By picking stuff and eating it directly, we get all that natural good bacteria that's
05:00really good for our tummies.
05:02Look at this apple tree.
05:03So, this is a crab apple.
05:06How many do you need, Ingrid?
05:07Well, we need 10 in total.
05:09So, how long have you been doing this for, Ingrid?
05:11Probably ever since I was a kid.
05:12I mean, just going blackberry picking is foraging.
05:15For me, it's very much about adding things into other things.
05:19You can just spice your own salad up.
05:20Add it all in.
05:21It's not like an apple that's come out of a supermarket.
05:24Wow.
05:26Zingy.
05:26Mmm.
05:27It's like a sour patch.
05:28Mmm.
05:28Makes you go.
05:29Yeah.
05:30We're also adding some blackberry leaves and nettles into our teapot.
05:34It's looking good already, Ingrid, the basket.
05:36It's looking beautiful.
05:36It is.
05:36You're going to drink the landscape.
05:39Greg's going to juggle the landscape.
05:42Can you do that, Ingrid?
05:43I can.
05:44So can I.
05:46We could all do it.
05:49OK, moving on.
05:52Oh, look.
05:53Whoa, whoa, whoa, look at that.
05:54Look at these guys.
05:56Finally, mushrooms.
05:58Now, are they the bad ones, Ingrid?
06:00Yeah.
06:01So these are fly algarics.
06:03These are not to be eaten.
06:04OK.
06:05And they're just to be admired.
06:09Oh.
06:10Here's the river.
06:13Oh.
06:13It's like a painting, isn't it?
06:14Welcome to your swimming pool.
06:16What a spot.
06:18How deep is it, Ingrid?
06:20A lot of the tweed is actually quite shallow.
06:22So if you got in here, you're probably up to your knees.
06:24And so what you have to do is find the pools.
06:26And because we've not been in a river for a while, is there any safety tips you could give us?
06:29It's always important to know what happens downstream.
06:32Mm-hmm.
06:32So that if for some reason you get caught in a little bit of flow, you know what will happen.
06:37And on cue, there's the rain for you.
06:39LAUGHTER
06:46So the get in's a little bit funny.
06:48Sit on your bum.
06:49Woo!
06:50That's going to be my sleigh, Jessica.
06:56You need to get good at reading the water.
06:59It's stronger than you might think.
07:00If you watch the bubbles on the top, that tells you how fast water's moving.
07:04That way, where you see all the little whistly bits, that shows you that it's really shallow.
07:10Lie on the back, float that way, you'll run aground.
07:12And you're not going to end up in Berwick.
07:14Let's go.
07:15Cool.
07:15Let's do it.
07:16Now really breathe out.
07:18Stay, stay, stay.
07:20There's a bit of flow.
07:21Face upriver and then slowly swim forward.
07:24Can you go?
07:26We push you across.
07:27Oh, lovely.
07:29Have you played again?
07:30Floating.
07:31Floating.
07:32Floating.
07:36It's so relaxing.
07:38Oh, my gosh.
07:40See you later.
07:41Oh!
07:44Get the cruise.
07:45You could get parties in the river.
07:47I just feel like I'm right in the landscape.
07:50Tom Sawyer.
07:52There he is, Carpenter.
07:53Blooming down.
07:54There he is.
07:57Yeah, we should do some more rivers on it.
08:02Head for the bank.
08:03Head for the bank.
08:05Oh, that was so nice.
08:08That was really special.
08:09First time in the river Tweed.
08:11What was that?
08:12Oh, she's really made.
08:13Up in our knees.
08:14There's no dog here.
08:17A brilliant guide.
08:19We'll be back.
08:21Today we'll have to try to be patient for a Chittery bite.
08:24Because Ingrid's going to serve us the Tweed Valley in food form from all the things we've foraged.
08:28Great, so we're going to have elderberry and crabapple fritters.
08:33Not for you, Bon Bon.
08:35Normally we just bring a custard cream.
08:38That is...
08:39Look at that.
08:40I'm excited by that kettle you drink.
08:41That's how you pour it.
08:43Oh, look at that.
08:44Oh, I love that.
08:45Storm kettle.
08:46So these are like fritters.
08:47These are like little drop scones.
08:50A drop scone.
08:51Everything tastes better outdoors.
08:54Right, shall I turn one over and see?
08:56Do you have a keek?
08:57This is good.
08:58Oh, look at that.
09:01Thank you so much.
09:03I'm excited.
09:05Oh, that is fun, eh?
09:06Wow.
09:07It's almost like a fruity potato scone.
09:10It's beautiful.
09:11A really good Chittery bite, Ingrid.
09:13That's one of the tastiest things I've ever had.
09:15And the tea will be ready now.
09:17Oh, that's lovely.
09:18It's fantastic.
09:18This is your walk in a cup of tea.
09:22Here's to you, Ingrid.
09:24Cheers.
09:24Thanks for taking us swimming.
09:25That was such a treat.
09:27You're welcome.
09:29Four fritters later, and I'm itching to get into that mad old house, man.
09:34Will I, eh, eh, will I chap the door, do you think?
09:42Hello.
09:42Hi.
09:43Hi.
09:43Hi.
09:43Welcome.
09:44Lovely to meet you.
09:45Lovely to meet you.
09:45Great.
09:46Lovely to meet you.
09:46How are you?
09:47Has he had a long swim?
09:48Yes, it was spectacular.
09:50Great.
09:51Well, would you like a little tour of the house before you see what you're saying?
09:54Come in.
09:56Showing us round is the lady of the house, literally...
10:00Oh, wow.
10:02...Lady Catherine Maxwell Stewart.
10:04Do you swim as well, Catherine?
10:06I do, yeah.
10:06I had a wonderful aunt who used to nude swim down the river at six o'clock in the morning.
10:12Did you?
10:13See, she's one of us.
10:15Catherine, can we trouble you for a potted history?
10:17Yeah, well, it won't take long.
10:18So, it went back to 1107, and it was built as a hunting lodge, and then it became a defensive
10:26tower.
10:27James Stewart became the first laird of Traquere in 1491, and 21 generations later, I'm still
10:34here.
10:34Oh, goodness.
10:36So, the real story of Traquere is it's just a remarkable family home, and a family that
10:42always were on the wrong side.
10:43So, they were very strong Jacobites and very strong Catholics.
10:47We just survived, which is amazing.
10:51This is the bed where Mary, Queen of Scots, slept in 1566.
10:571566.
10:58It's a beautiful bed, isn't it?
11:00She'd also just recently had her son, who was obviously later to be James VI of Scotland
11:04and I of England.
11:06Oh, my goodness.
11:08I do look at the size of the crib.
11:09Benny couldn't have gotten that.
11:10No, we are both desperate to ask you about any hauntings in here.
11:16We've heard rumour of a grey lady.
11:20She was seen by a farm worker walking around the fields outside Traquere and then walking
11:26off and out into a wood.
11:28And she was the last Stewart lady to live here, and she died at the age of 99 and a
11:33half.
11:36I've lived here all my life and I've never seen anything, but you never know.
11:40Amazing privilege growing up as a child here.
11:42What we used to love doing is just scaring all the visitors, appearing from the priest's
11:46secret escape and all that sort of stuff.
11:49Where is the priest's secret escape?
11:51Well, I can show you that.
11:52Right at the top of the house.
11:55During the Reformation, Catholic priests who were caught could be hung, drawn and quartered,
12:00so it was a risky job, to say the least.
12:02Not bad, Greg.
12:03Did you read a book?
12:05It had pictures.
12:06Hmm.
12:09The room that we're in here was known as the priest's room, but at points where it was
12:13very dangerous, 1680s to early 1700s, a priest would have lived here in this room and was
12:19never allowed to leave.
12:20So it was a tough life, so they did build him a little secret escape bridge.
12:25So they built themselves some nice bookshelves at the corner there, and then you open the
12:32door at the back.
12:33Ooh.
12:34And so if you go down three floors, you'll get out right at the bottom, and the Rift Tweed
12:40used to run right at the back of the house.
12:42So the priest could have a wee cold water dip.
12:44Yeah.
12:45Yes.
12:46Maybe that's what they were doing.
12:48Yeah.
12:48Isn't that amazing?
12:50Do you know what else is amazing?
12:53There's a maze.
12:54I'll race you to the middle, Jules.
12:57I'm getting shining vibes here.
12:59Bonnie will keep me right.
13:01This maze is way bigger than I thought it was.
13:04Bonnie's definitely getting fed up.
13:06Oh, Bonnie, as I've been this way, I know I have.
13:08Greg, where are you?
13:10This way?
13:11No, we'll go this way.
13:11Bonnie's staying that way, but I'll stay this way.
13:13Let's keep going.
13:15I can hear voices.
13:16Greg, where are you?
13:22It makes you think that somebody's following you.
13:25Oh, it's calling our sound, man.
13:27Get a grip, Greg.
13:30She keeps trying to cheat by jumping through here.
13:32That is a great idea, Bonnie.
13:35I'd never cheat at something like this.
13:37I don't think Greg would either.
13:41Victory is mine.
13:44There you are.
13:46Go on the victory step.
13:49It's quite scary.
13:57That maze was intense.
13:59Now we're drinking the house lager.
14:01It's really good.
14:02What a day.
14:03I think we need to discuss this picture up here, though, with the twins.
14:08Come and play with us, Greg and Jules, forever and ever and ever.
14:13I know you're joking about that, but I don't feel scared.
14:16I feel quite calm.
14:17Do you not?
14:17I think maybe whether something in the metal tea's settled me right down.
14:20This place suits me.
14:22I like the idea of pretending and sort of trying to be scared.
14:25Oh, but I don't think I will be.
14:27I think it's a really beautiful house.
14:29Have you noticed that all these ghosts always show up as really, like, dark and dingy colours?
14:33Like the woman in black.
14:34The grey lady.
14:35You don't really get the pink lady or the lemon citrus lady, do you?
14:40No, no.
14:41Just for once, a ghost should have a little bit of flair.
14:43If the grey lady ghosty was to sit right there and out, what would you ask her?
14:49I'd say, would you like a bottle of beer?
14:51Because it's really good, grey lady.
14:53It'll put some colour in your cheeks, love.
14:55That's what I'd say to her.
14:56I'll contact her for you right now if you'd like.
14:59Oh!
15:02Did you get a bit?
15:06How fantastic is that?
15:09What's that?
15:10Nothing.
15:12Oh!
15:20Right.
15:21Time to hit the hay.
15:24Night, Lord Hemsworth.
15:26Oh, I'm OK.
15:28Night, Lady Nimpster.
15:38Morning.
15:39We survived the night.
15:41The darkness in there was intense.
15:43It was so lovely, but we started spooking ourselves a wee bit and then we went to bed.
15:49Where are we heading now, Jules?
15:50We're going to St Mary's Lock.
15:52St Mary's Lock?
16:01It's a queer house.
16:02I'll remember that for a long time.
16:07Big day today, Jules.
16:08After St Mary's Lock, we've got another River Duke lined up near Peebles.
16:13Watch me, you're going to turn in here.
16:15Turning right.
16:16Yeah.
16:16You were going to get us lost there, Greg.
16:18God, a bit of it.
16:19The oracle on my phone told me which way to go.
16:25I'm not getting you because I've got you trapped in a van.
16:28And there are times where I turn red and I'm like, Greg's got a girlfriend because he's
16:31never off that phone.
16:32Cool it on your phone.
16:34Yeah.
16:34Are you cool it on your phone?
16:36I'm never on my phone like you.
16:38Bonnie, what was that?
16:40Bonnie says, you're on a bonnet.
16:43What did I do too much of talking?
16:46Doomscrolling.
16:47Ha ha ha ha.
16:52I keep reading that it's the worst thing you can do is scroll before you go to sleep.
16:56I reckon Mary Queen has got to get a wee candle on, maybe hold her rosary breeze and have a
17:01little, almost like mini meditation.
17:04Do you think even just more anxiety into her life with the phones?
17:07No, I don't think so because she would have got like bad news via a pigeon or a crow.
17:12There's a wee tap at the door and there's a crow with a scroll.
17:15What's this now?
17:16She opens it.
17:17Elizabeth the first wants to cut your head off.
17:19She's like, Jesus Christ.
17:20I just can't even get a bath.
17:20Bad, bad.
17:21Mary, please stop reading all those scrolls.
17:23You're just doomscrolling.
17:32That cannae be the lock.
17:33It's massive.
17:35Who are we meeting here, Jules?
17:36We're meeting lovely Alex and she's got three boys, John, Jamie and the youngest is Graham.
17:43Fantastic.
17:45Alex is a keen dooker who runs an outdoor clothing brand in Caffey with her boys and she's dragging
17:50them in today as well.
17:52Yeah, like we did with our boys on our last trip.
17:54And you know what?
17:55It did them the world of good.
17:59Since Barra and Bernie has upped the Cold War swimming and I asked him, what are you getting
18:03out of this?
18:03He said, mum, it really calms my anxiety down.
18:06I do think boys are still finding it harder to talk about their mental health.
18:10Yeah.
18:11Why do you think that is?
18:13I think they're getting better at it, but I think little things that we used to do,
18:17which was like sit in the pub together, they don't do that so much.
18:21So they have to find different ways of doing it.
18:23To be honest, Jack, do you and your pals talk like that?
18:25Absolutely, yeah.
18:26We'll probably take a couple of drinks.
18:28Why does it need to be drinks at pub?
18:30Why can't it be out for a walk?
18:31It doesn't need to be.
18:33I know I'm a bit evangelical, but perhaps the outdoors and a cold water dip would help.
18:38Well, Jules, you're preaching to the choir, but nothing wrong with the odd pint with
18:41pals either, though.
18:43This is gorgeous.
18:43Well done, that was really good.
18:49Hi.
18:50Thanks to meet you.
18:50Jules, how are you doing?
18:51Hi, Jamie.
18:52How are you?
18:52Nice to meet you.
18:53I don't think I'm happy to leave you.
18:54Thanks for coming with us.
18:55Oh, no, it's great.
18:56Are you swimmers?
18:58What's the vibe?
19:00Probably dippers, I think.
19:01Okay.
19:02Are you willing volunteers, boys, or are you been dragged through?
19:05I get a bit of shock.
19:06Get a bit of a shock.
19:07No, I get in this.
19:09Yeah, let's do it.
19:10Now, John and Graham have been in the loch before, but it's middle brother Jamie's first
19:14time.
19:14Thanks for coming in with us.
19:16You're smiling at me now.
19:19Boys showing off this morning.
19:22Just be aware that it does flow forth quite quickly, so it will get beat.
19:26Right.
19:27And it's always best to go in with someone who knows the water.
19:30And don't rush.
19:31You never know what's underfoot.
19:33That's what I do.
19:34First hand, nose, inhale, and exhale, we're going down.
19:40Shhh.
19:41Yeah, I see that you have those shoulders in for me.
19:44That's it.
19:45Watch your cold water therapy and ride in.
19:47Two minutes of that and you're off.
19:49Well done.
19:50Well done.
19:50That's amazing, Jamie.
19:52Just breathe in slowly and exhale slowly.
19:54No, you hate it.
19:56That's not that bad, is it?
19:59You're doing brilliant.
20:00You're all doing brilliant.
20:01Oh, I feel a little bit of, oh, a little bit of something.
20:04Yeah, yeah, you've done great.
20:05Flash your face before you go.
20:07Flash your face.
20:08That's it.
20:09There you go.
20:11Jamie, get the kettle on.
20:13Aw, Jamie's done well for his first duke.
20:15And just three minutes will give you all the benefits.
20:19Always better to listen to your own body than push it too far.
20:22How are you feeling, all right?
20:23Good, actually, yeah.
20:24Feels great.
20:24Yeah.
20:24Yeah, absolutely.
20:26And I think once you're in as well, even a wee swim, just get to the movement.
20:30I mean, it's such an incredible spot, isn't it?
20:32Oh, this is wonderful.
20:33Look at this.
20:34It's like something out of my movie.
20:38Oh, you're doing great.
20:39Beautiful.
20:39I kind of wish I didn't bring the hat in.
20:40Yeah, do you want to go under?
20:42Okay, go.
20:43One, two, three.
20:45Woo!
20:47Yay!
20:49Woo!
20:50I'm a bit tired of shredding water.
20:52What do you like boys swimming with your mum at this?
20:54Isn't it nice?
20:54Absolutely.
20:56It's not for the faint heart, doesn't it?
20:57She's a bit more worrying.
20:58It's not for the faint heart, yeah.
21:00I don't think this will be the last time.
21:01Why don't you just get out of it?
21:03I'll add to that when I'm out.
21:06Yes, let's go back.
21:07We've lost all the men, but me and Alex can now get some proper mum chat.
21:12Especially as we get older, it's nice to be able to spend time like this.
21:15I love when my boys do it with me.
21:16Yeah.
21:16There's not a lot of things in nature that people do through their pens.
21:20Was that long enough for you?
21:22That was brilliant.
21:23But it's so nice on the table, isn't it?
21:25Because we've all got the boys.
21:27Yeah.
21:27That we worry about constantly.
21:29Absolutely.
21:29It's lovely.
21:30How did you boys cope with that?
21:32Not bad.
21:32The temperature wasn't as cold as it was going to be, but I think it underestimated how much effort it
21:38is to just tread water.
21:41Yeah, it's interesting that we all came out at different times.
21:43What's really good about it is listening to your body.
21:46It's quite a beautiful experience.
21:49Do you mind me asking about mental health?
21:52Do you all talk to each other about how you're feeling?
21:55Probably not as much as we should.
21:56It takes me a long time to come out of my shell with my buddies and whatnot.
22:00It's the same with my friends.
22:01You have to spend quite a lot of time with them before you can get comfortable enough with each other
22:04to really dig deep on those kind of issues.
22:07I think there's definitely inhibitions.
22:08Your generation's way better at it than we are.
22:10Oh, there's definitely.
22:10I think they're better at admitting it and being vulnerable to it.
22:14Talking about the details of it, I think, is what men struggle with, especially.
22:18Do you think it's getting better with young men?
22:20Do you think things like this are helping?
22:21Absolutely.
22:22I'd say so, yeah.
22:23Being vulnerable is a hard thing for anybody to do, but I think, especially young men, I think there's a
22:27lot of pressure.
22:28Yeah.
22:28Social media.
22:29My 24-year-old Benny will say things like, I should be doing this at this age and that.
22:34And I go, who's been getting down your evil?
22:36Yeah.
22:36Yeah.
22:36It's funny, you just kind of absorb those kind of things.
22:38What is that then?
22:39I wonder what that is.
22:40It's just media pressure.
22:41Social media is all that kind of stuff, I think.
22:43It's difficult for young men to know how to find their way in terms of even just interacting with the
22:49opposite sex.
22:49The rules for men is it's not as clear-cut and that does make it difficult.
22:54I just try and spend as little time on the internet as possible.
22:57That does me well.
23:00Did you hear that, Hempy?
23:02Get off your phone.
23:04Sorry, what, Jules?
23:05I was just checking the weather.
23:06Yeah, because conditions are going to deteriorate.
23:08Which way now, Jules?
23:09Right, you weren't listening.
23:10Careful, careful, careful, careful.
23:12It's become your catchphrase.
23:14What's the catchphrase?
23:15I knew you weren't listening.
23:18Now, we're meant to be meeting a women's biking and duking group somewhere near Peebles.
23:22Storm Amy makes landfall.
23:24Biking in this weather.
23:25Storm Amy's moving in.
23:27It's proper bogging outside.
23:30So we might get here and our swim might be cancelled for the first time.
23:33And they're ahead of us to check out the swim spot and if it's not as safe, we're not going
23:37in.
23:38Hello?
23:39Hello?
23:39What are they saying?
23:40Greg, we're on.
23:41Oh, no.
23:42I don't want to go ahead.
23:43It's on like Donkey Kong.
23:46So we should be able to catch them at the end of their cycle and then get a quick dook
23:50before the storm hits.
23:51These ladies are hardcore.
23:53Bonnie excited?
23:55Now, Bonnie.
23:57People come first.
23:59People.
24:01People come first.
24:02Yeah.
24:05Oh, look at his head.
24:07The only thing missing is a basket with E.T. in it.
24:10Expecting you guys to fly over the moon.
24:12This is the coolest gang I've ever seen.
24:15We're the FNY Collective and we're a mountain bike charity.
24:18We're just all about getting women out on bikes.
24:21We're just sort of bringing the community together.
24:23People making new friends.
24:24Is it harder to get people onto the bikes or into the water?
24:27I think it's quite hard.
24:29It's worth it when you get in there.
24:31We're trying to get our bikers become dookers.
24:33Part of the heritage work that Anila and the FNY have been doing is to celebrate the journey of the
24:39Tweed and we can do that by getting in the river.
24:42We've got this crazy storm coming in.
24:43So we're in your hands.
24:45Tell us how you guys picked this spot today.
24:47The river's full.
24:48This water has come off agricultural land.
24:51So there could be stuff in there that's come off the field.
24:53So we've chosen a spot here which is a small trip.
24:56It's a little bit of a tree and it's nice, clean water.
25:03Anila, could you tell us about the name of the group?
25:05FNY Collective actually started ten years ago.
25:09We were just a bunch of mates in from Glasgow.
25:11You know, all of us, we were like, oh, come on, you're funny, let's go out riding.
25:15We're like, well, we are the FNY Collective.
25:18And did it have to change when we became a charity?
25:21Yes.
25:22So FNY now stands for fearless, nurturing, young at heart.
25:27Right on, I like it.
25:29But we know the heart of it, your fannies.
25:31You know the secret.
25:34She can't be Keone.
25:36Keone?
25:37Who doesn't want to go in?
25:40What are you doing?
25:42We'll be working.
25:45Why does it always rain?
25:47And we don't need it.
25:50Wow.
25:52Oh, God.
25:53You're in there.
25:54Three, two, my God.
25:56Yes, yes, yes, yes.
26:03Oh, God.
26:03You don't mind, you can somebody.
26:05I don't care.
26:05You still have a little bit.
26:06I'm going to try it.
26:08Woo!
26:09Yes!
26:10Oh, my God.
26:12Hold on, please.
26:13Come on, please.
26:13Come on, please.
26:15Come on, please.
26:16I decided to sit this one out, because they've got some super cool female energy.
26:21Didn't really want to disturb it.
26:22Well, I've been brilliant.
26:24But they're a hearty bunch of ladies.
26:28Right, get yourself straight and go and say, well done!
26:39Right, just time for a quick cake, and then we need to shift it.
26:42But hang on, Greg, you've still got some explaining to do.
26:46What happened to you?
26:48Well, I seen you all in a little circle, like a little coven.
26:51I just wanted to give you your female time.
26:53And I also noticed that one of the lovely girls in the group made a cake, but you still took
26:57one of them.
27:01No, you hadn't dipped.
27:03I was straight in there for a cardamom bun.
27:05But anyway, where are we going now?
27:07Well, I think we're heading north-west.
27:09Yeah, but do you remember where we're going to, though?
27:12No.
27:13A swim festival.
27:14We'll fit right in there.
27:15Hope so.
27:16Yeah.
27:17Unless they find out you don't really dip sometimes, so you might be bombed right out.
27:21Me and Bonnie will be welcome.
27:23I'll still be eating the buns.
27:25Onwards driving!
27:28Clansman driving!
27:29And that's another thing coming!
27:39And that's a catch on the backfab Oliver.
27:39Good morning!

27:47And when you were doing?
27:53Oh wait 40 seems.
27:58That's a 개만 with his right word bought.
27:58Daddy came in!
