Off the Beaten Track With Kate Humble

Kate and her sheepdog, Teg, travel from northern mainland Wales to the hamlet of Nantmore in Snowdonia. They experience old-style shepherding, learn how canine power is saving lives on the mountains and see a forest through the eyes of huskies.

Kate and Teg travel from southern Snowdonia to the least-populated area in the UK, in the Cambrian Mountains. Kate experiences a deer cull, loses a herd of cattle on Cadair Idris Mountain and discovers the Welsh equivalent of the Amazon rainforest.

In Ponterwyd, Kate and Teg herd sheep for the market, and Kate witnesses the price disparities between what farmers get for their sheep and what consumers pay; at the Teifi Pools, she discovers Wales is a world leader in protecting its dark skies.

Kate and her sheepdog Teg explore Carmarthenshire. In the Cothi Valley, Kate herds and milks goats; in Capel Iwan, she tries her hand at trotting; in Cwm Elfed, they meet an Englishman keeping the Welsh weaving tradition alive.

Kate Humble and her Welsh sheepdog, Teg, explore remote corners of North Wales. Kate reaches for the sky as she attempts to climb the tallest man-made structure in Wales and learns how to overcome natural obstacles with packrafting.

In Mid Wales, Kate and Teg get a taste of stone-age life by mucking in with a farmer; Teg plays damsel in distress for the South and Mid Wales Cave Rescue Team; Kate uncovers the sad truth of a rare horse breed, the Welsh pony.
