In the show's original format, Vipond was supported on screen by reporters Duncan McCallum and Deziree Wilson,[2] while Cameron McNeish contributed a regular mountain walking slot.

Sports featured include climbing, kayaking, sailing, windsurfing and kitesurfing, various forms of bicycle racing, and cross-country running, especially ultramarathon and multi-discipline events.

The show also includes features on people working in the adventure sports industry, such as medical crews and instructors.

In its original format, camping tips, including consumer reviews and items on outdoor cookery, were often featured during spring and summer.

In 2012, Wilson achieved a third-place finish in the women's section at the Isle of Arran Goat Fell hill race while reporting for the programme.
