This Scotland Outdoors podcast with Mark Stephen and Rachel Stewart from BBC Radio

Scotland.

Hello and thank you very much for choosing to listen to this.

As you know, we build the Scotland Outdoors podcast from the live programme we do for BBC Radio Scotland,

which is called Out of Doors.

This week, of course, it's a terrific programme as always,

but we have been getting rather wet

because it's completely lashing here at Beach Grove.

Ordinarily, I would be standing out there, about 10, 15 feet out.

You know, dancing about the BBC Aberdeen car park like a young Nureev, lean and live.

But it is peeing rain at the moment.

It's ludicrously wet out here.

Good morning.

I'm Mark Stephen here at Beechgrove in Aberdeen.

Both of us sheltered curing, actually,

underneath a bit of a port to go at the front of the building.

This is Rachel Stewart.
