Seriously, get him up a mountain.

- Yes, sir.

- Okay.

Thank you. Hey, I'll

see you on Sunday.

- You will.

- Okay.

Hello! How are you?

Oh, lovely. Thank you very much.

- Hi, everyone. How are you doing?

- Hey, Davin.

- All right?

- Yeah, yeah, good.

Cheers, guys. Cheers.

That is the thing about walking

that people don't get.

- It's tough. It's pretty wild.

- But you're still just walking.

You are still walking, Fionan, but

you're also climbing for bits of it.

- Do you kill your food?

- No, no, I bring energy bars.

- And bananas.

- In Iceland, Uli and her family

bring hunting tools when they hike.

They can source snacks and things.

- Snacks?

- Like reindeers and salmons?

- Yes, that is what we kill.

- Good.

What about you, Fionan,

what do you do for exercise?

- I walk to work and back daily.

- Oh, punishing.

He also gets lots of exercise

arguing with our wedding planner.

Lively collaboration.

Actually, speaking of walking...

Men, Simon, the Kevinses, how do you

feel about a little walking holiday

to drag Fionan here away

from the wedding planner

and out into the fresh air?

Like a stag?

Rugged gentlemen, alone up

a mountain, sounds great.

- I'd find a way to enjoy that.

- Great, brilliant. Simon?

- Uli knows I'm good in the wild.

- You're not good in the wild.

- Fionan?

- Yeah, no. No way. No stags so...

Fionan, have you ever

even been on a stag?

- No.

- So not even a weekend walk?

I don't enjoy being in exclusively

male company for long periods.

There's something forced about

it and false, all that banter...

I mean, under what other

circumstances would we five

ever agree to be in a

tent in the shitting rain

in mid-November all for the

sake of some needless ritual?

So er, so what about

hens in general?

Or my hen, is that just some

stupid needless ritual?

Oh, no, babe, but I would

happily go on your hen night.

You want to go on my hen?

Okay, Fionan, one of my

favourite things to do

is have sex with a man and even

for me that's a bit too gay.

No, come on, guys. Leave him alone.

Fionan has got his principles.

Maybe a walking holiday's just a

bit too rough and tumble for him.

Okay, Davin.

Yeah, okay, fine.

Yeah, stag it is.

Yay, stag.

The stag!

Well done, bro.

Is this something that we need?

The spoon, so you just eat.

Argh!

- No?

- No.

Ooh.

- Is this our tent?

- That is a tent, eh? Look at this.

- Should we... Should we... buy it?

- Yes.

- Let's go for it.

- Let's do it.

Okay. Let's buy it. Let's

pay up and get out of here.

- Careful, are you okay?

- Yeah.

- You're fine?

- I'm fine.

Okay. It's stuck.

- No. Just give it a tug.

- Unstick it. It's a zip.
