Bear’s Mission with Rob Brydon

Comedian Rob Brydon tries to keep smiling on a trek across Snowdonia

The comedian tries to keep smiling on a trek across Snowdonia.

Last time Rob Brydon went on a boys’ holiday, he was eating his way round Spain with Steve Coogan in The Trip.

This trip is slightly less jolly, however. ‘If I have to die anywhere – Wales,’ says an apprehensive Rob while waiting for Bear Grylls to arrive and teach him how to survive in wet and windy Snowdonia.

After a 30ft jump from a helicopter into a freezing lake, Rob and Bear trek over the Welsh mountains, abseil 200ft into a sink hole, into which Bear drops their food and supplies – leaving Rob with no choice but to go down – and spend the night camped out on an exposed hillside.

Despite all the hardship, Rob, as you’d expect, makes an entertaining companion for Bear and keeps his spirits high.
