Hi mattrom,

Viewing plenty around and about in 1,2,3,4 & 5 Peaks Challenge perhaps? (5)

The wordplay runs into the def with 5 playing double duty.

viewing - seen on TV/DVD
plenty around and about - where one would see plenty a round and a bout (rounds & bouts = boxing terms)
in 1,2,3,4 & 5 - Rocky film series (there is a sixth now though)

5 Peaks Challenge - The 5 Peaks Challenge is to ascend and descend the highest peaks in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and The Republic of Ireland in 48 hours
perhaps - I guess it's very rocky up there?
