Television viewers with access to the Discovery channel can tune in this evening to watch accomplished British climber Leo Houlding take a trip to some of the planet’s remotest areas to find Lost Worlds.
The Cumbrian mountaineer, who last year accompanied Sir Chris Bonington on a repeat climb of the Old Man of Hoy, will join adventurer Monty Halls in the series.
The Berghaus athlete plays a starring role in the show as he accompanies Monty Halls to the rainforests of Guyana and the Mulu caves in Borneo.
A Berghaus spokesperson said: “The idea behind the series was to see if genuine exploration still exists. Are there still areas of the world so remote that just a handful of people can reach them?
“Throughout 2014 Leo and Monty put it to the test, making extraordinary expeditions in South America and Borneo where they discovered new species, found legendary geographic features, and became the first people to measure two supposedly mythical waterfalls.”
The first episode will be broadcast on Discovery at 9pm tonight.

16 March 2015My partner and I, from Staveley, the village where Leo lives, watched the first three episodes, and thoroughly enjoyed them. We were disappointed on Friday night, the 13th March, when we tuned in at 9pm on Discovery to find it wasn't on. Was it on at a different time.
