Ray reveals an unusual use for the horse chestnuts he finds lining the river bank, as he navigates the river in his canoe.

Ray visits Galloway and explores the riches of the stunning South West of Scotland coast and the hidden treasures that live in Britain’s largest forest park - including the rare and elusive pine marten. Having tracked a pair of the mustelids through Galloway Forest Park with dogs, Ray is wowed by their presence when he meets them after they are brought down from a tree. He says: “That has got to be one of the neatest things I have ever seen in my travels. Pine martens are very special, they are so difficult to see, and to see those young like that, what a privilege. Quite wonderful.”
