Michael Portillo embark on an extraordinary voyage of self-discovery, exploring the dramatic mountain range that straddles the border between France and Spain, the Pyrenees. The four-part series is a real adventure for Michael as he walks a stretch of the 270 mile trail through the Pyrenees, from the Bay of Biscay on the Atlantic coast in the West to the shores of the Mediterranean in the East.
Michael's Pyrenean quest continues with the physical challenge of the French High Pyrenees, which he enters at the Cirque du Gavarnie, a 1,700-metre-high wall of limestone forming a natural amphitheatre. He struggles on across the snowy Plateau de Saugué to meet Marion Clignet, a French Olympic cycling champion who refused to let her epilepsy curtail her career, as well as finding time to reflect on his time as defence secretary, and on the current war in Europe.
