Tell me more. A heart-warming and humorous video diary charts his progress through the majesty of Scotland s scenery. The opening episode covers the 47-mile stretch to the halfway point at Crianlarich. Joining Robertson for the first 20 miles is actor Steven Duffy, who played his brother in Small Faces.
