Follow the wonderful tale of Edith Moore (Sheila Hancock) as she embarks on the adventure of a lifetime to rekindle fond childhood memories that have been clouded by the fear of growing old.
After the death of her controlling husband, and her daughter’s attempts to send her to a care home, 83 year old Edie decides that it is never too late; so, packing an old camping bag, leaving her life behind and employing Jonny (Kevin Guthrie) as a trainer and guide, she sets off on an adventure she never got to have - climbing the imposing Mount Suilven in Scotland. We watch the friendship between two entirely different generations grow as they bond over their mutual love for the outdoors.
