Stuart Maconie sets up camp at Borders Book Festival in the Scottish Borders.
Comedian Daniel Sloss continues his world domination with his latest show Bitter which is helping him tick off 60 different countries.
She perhaps can't claim 60, but Helen Watson visited an incredible list of countries when she cycled 15,000km from Glasgow to China along the Silk Road in 2009. Her book Tea and Grit dives back in to memories of that expedition.
Actor Darren Brownlie's latest project takes us on another journey, to Cumbrae on the west coast of Scotland where musical Crocodile Rock tells a beautiful story of coming out and finding out who you really are.
Dan Richards adventures have been very much in the dark, as his book Overnight explores the many wonders and workers of the nighttime, from the high seas, to the top of a crane.
Plus, singer-songwriter Horse fills the tent up with glorious music, picked from her decades-long back catalogue.
