A Wright Family Holiday: Eryri (Snowdonia) airs Thursday 8 March 2023 on BBC 1
Mark Wright, his brother Josh, and their father Big Mark embark on a once-in-a-lifetime road trip to see the best of Great Britain. There are breathtaking sights to see, hair-raising adventures to be had, and plenty of opportunities for belly laughs as a family.
However, this is much more than a typical vacation. The three friends discuss topics they’ve never discussed before, revealing their individual motivations and explaining why this trip is so significant.
Mark appreciates the time away because it allows him to spend quality time with his two closest friends and reflect on what really matters in life. After nearly dying at Covid’s hands, Big Mark is eager to regain his self-assurance. And for Josh, a football player on the verge of retirement, it’s a chance to do things he never had time for while playing professionally.
In the premiere, the Wright brothers say their goodbyes to Essex over breakfast with their mother Carol and sister Jess before setting out for their first stop in Eryri, also known as Snowdonia, in north Wales.
Mark takes the group of three mountain biking after they have taken in the breathtaking views. The brothers’ reckless descent of the valley sets pulses racing. Their father’s departure is less dramatic.
The Wrights’ next stop is an old slate mine that has been converted into an obstacle course, and they intend to spend the night there, 400 metres below the surface. The thought of going down there is Mark Senior’s worst nightmare, but his sons are eager to challenge him. Mark Jr. and Josh are hoping to restore their dad’s self-esteem after he’s had a rough go of it recently. They spend the night at the mine’s depths, and Big Mark tells them about the death of his brother and his own struggle with Covid.
Later, the Wrights take a steam train up Yr Wyddfa, also known as Snowdon, for one of the most breathtaking panoramas in all of Britain. Mark breaks down in tears at the summit as he tells his father and brother something he’s been meaning to tell them for a long time.
