A' Sireadh Uaigneas/In Search of Solitude

Documentary following Niall Iain Macdonald, as he prepares for a solo row across the mighty North Atlantic.

Nuair a chuir e roimhe fh猫in iomradh thar a' Chuain Sg矛th eadar Ste貌rnabhagh is Ulapul o chionn c貌ig bliadhna, bha e a' coimhead coltach gu robh Niall Iain D貌mhnallach air f矛or dh霉bhlan a thoirt dha fh猫in. Cha robh ann an sin ge-t脿 ach a' chiad bhlas. An ath rud bha a sh霉il air a' Chuan Siar agus turas na aonar eadar New York agus Ste貌rnabhagh. Th脿inig an t-ainm NY2SY gu furasta ach mar a chithear, cha t脿inig m貌ran eile. Tha am pr貌gram a' leantainn Niall Iain thairis air d脿 bhliadhna 's e a' siubhal fad Bhreatainn ag ionnsachadh sgilean 霉ra, a' tional airgid agus a' gabhail comhairle bho fheadhainn a bha thall is a chunnaic. Agus sin uile is e a' feuchainn ri taic a chumail ri carthannas tinneas inntinn, is e taingeil airson an taic a bha e fh猫in air fhaighinn. Niall Iain Macdonald got a taste for adventure on his first solo row when he crossed the Minch from Stornoway to Ullapool five years ago. The adventure seemed daring at the time but it was a mere drop in the ocean compared to his next challenge - a solo row across the mighty North Atlantic Ocean from New York to Stornoway. The programme follows Niall Iain through more than two years of physical, mental and financial preparation, travelling the length of Britain, visiting those who have been there and got the tee-shirt, undertaking survival and navigation training while also trying to raise money and awareness of his chosen mental health charity.
