TAKE A HIKE RENEWED FOR THIRD SERIES ON BBC TWO

The fun format sees five people go head-to-head each week to discover the best walks the UK has to offer. The series is due to return for a third series, with casting now open.

If there’s one thing people love in Britain, it’s a great walk. Whether it’s a trip to the seaside to soak up the rays, a challenging hike up a rugged mountain, or a picturesque river-side stroll. It could be for the jaw-dropping views or the great company, or just the joy of being outdoors.

In the 15-part series, people from all walks of life across the UK will have to pull out all the stops. Taking it in turns to lead the walk, the others will rate the quality of the route, picnic, views and entertainment. Come rain or shine, uphill or down dale, will they give 10/10 or a measly 1?

At the end of the week, the winner will walk off with a voucher for outdoor gear, and the coveted “Golden Walking Stick”. So let the challenge commence. It’s time to Take A Hike!

Take A Hike is available now on BBC iPlayer.
