Let's Move It

BBC Radio 2 presenter, Vernon Kay, revealed on air this morning (9th August 2024) that he will be broadcasting his show from Rothesay on the Isle of Bute on Friday 23rd August. It’s for Let’s Move It, the station’s six week initiative designed to get the nation moving and a bit more active this summer.

Vernon has been asking his listeners for suggestions as to what he could do for his own personal Let’s Move It challenge and he revealed today that he will be attempting a caber toss in honour of the Bute Highland Games taking place that weekend and will be broadcasting his show from there on Friday 23rd August... where he will attempt his challenge live on air for listeners.

Vernon will be in training over the next two weeks for his Let’s Move It caber tossing challenge, which is he is calling his ‘Route To Bute’!

Vernon said: “Well there it is, we’ve got a plan – two weeks today, I’m going to attempt a caber toss for a Highland Games special live from the Isle of Bute in Scotland! I’d better get training, maybe even get myself a kilt as well as I get started on my Route to Bute!
