Clinging tightly to the edge of the cliff, not daring to think about how many hundred metres he was from the ground, TV presenter Nick Knowles took a deep breath and conquered one of his biggest fears.
Travel, he admits, invites everyone to step outside their comfort zone. And there’s no platform better than national TV to broadcast the results. Knowles was in Chile, at the southern tip of the world, for his new three-part series Nick Knowles in South America, the last episode of which airs on Channel 5 tonight. “A lot of what Torres del Paine is about is climbing,” explains the 61-year-old, describing the Patagonian national park famous for its pretty but perilous peaks.
The series also shines a spotlight on several extraordinary environmental projects and success stories, reflecting Knowles’s belief that long-haul travel can still be sustainable. “As part of these programmes, we want to showcase things that bring hope,” says Knowles, whose late mother, Patricia, was from Wakefield. “We have a bit of a nihilistic attitude towards the environment, but there are people doing extraordinary things.
