Countryfile - 18/01/2009

John Craven takes to the slopes of the highest, coldest and snowiest plateaux in the British Isles, the Cairngorm Mountains of Scotland, to assess the ski season and taste the local whisky. Amidst calls for hundreds of thousands of deer to be culled, Charlotte Smith investigates how to keep their numbers manageable in order to protect habitat and make the roads safer. Also, Adam Henson is also in Scotland, trying his hand at Nordic Skiing, an Olympic sport which does not get the recognition it deserves. But will there be any snow for his first attempt?
