North Devon.
New series. Clare Balding follows in the tracks of author and bicycle fan Harold Briercliffe, embarking on a cross-country journey to experience the thrills of 1950s-style cycling. She begins her route in North Devon, visiting Lynmouth and the nearby village of Lynton, before heading to Woody Bay. The presenter concludes her trip with stops at the silver mines of Combe Martin and the seaside town of Ilfracombe

She is fit (not fit looking) for a big girl so jury out on that one. After the camping prog was the drama Nuts In May which was hilarious.
