0:14:02 > 0:14:05Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!

0:14:05 > 0:14:07Catch me if you can!

0:14:10 > 0:14:12Come down, Grandpa!

0:14:33 > 0:14:35Grandpa!

0:14:47 > 0:14:51It was a quiet morning at the Mill on the Marsh.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53I was with Grandpa and Wulfy,

0:14:53 > 0:14:57getting ready to go on a nature ramble with Mr Yomper Stomper

0:14:57 > 0:15:01and lots of other Sunnysands friends, up Mistymoor Mountain.

0:15:01 > 0:15:06It's nearly 10 o'clock. Mr Yomper Stomper's running late, as usual.

0:15:06 > 0:15:08Have you got your water bottle, Josh?

0:15:08 > 0:15:12'Just then, Great Aunt Loretta, Grandpa's sister, came in.'

0:15:12 > 0:15:15- DOG TOY SQUEAKS - Oh, I hate that squeaky sausage!

0:15:15 > 0:15:16Here's your lunchbox.

0:15:16 > 0:15:20It gets chilly up that mountain. How many socks have you got on?

0:15:20 > 0:15:22Ahem! Excuse me.

0:15:22 > 0:15:27I'm in charge of Josh today, thank you. I'm in charge of everything.

0:15:27 > 0:15:29I've got hotel guests coming at 12 o'clock

0:15:29 > 0:15:33and the things I have to do by then would make your hair curl!

0:15:33 > 0:15:37'Poor Grandpa was going to have to put up with...'

0:15:41 > 0:15:44Right, I'm glad that's understood.

0:15:44 > 0:15:47'I wondered what she'd put in my lunchbox.

0:15:47 > 0:15:51'Great Aunt Loretta makes the most disgusting food.'

0:15:51 > 0:15:55Cauliflower and treacle sandwiches.

0:15:55 > 0:15:57I might have known.

0:15:57 > 0:16:01Come on, let's go downstairs and find you something that you CAN eat.

0:16:01 > 0:16:04- 'Just then, we heard...' - Riddle-di-ri!

0:16:04 > 0:16:07'Mr Yomper Stomper was here at last.'

0:16:09 > 0:16:11Oh, Mr Yomper Stomper.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14That's me. Sorry I'm late. I got distracted by a squirrel

0:16:14 > 0:16:17and forgot what I was supposed to be doing. Look.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20'Mr Yomper Stomper is always forgetting

0:16:20 > 0:16:22'what he's supposed to be doing.'

0:16:22 > 0:16:25- We have to hurry.- Calm down, Josh.

0:16:25 > 0:16:30Oh, it's always good to see your smiling little face.

0:16:30 > 0:16:33It's always smiling, Loretta, happy as a lark, I am.

0:16:33 > 0:16:36# Riddle-di-ri Riddle-di-ri

0:16:36 > 0:16:38# It's a rambler's life for me

0:16:38 > 0:16:41# Up in the mountains and down in the dales

0:16:41 > 0:16:43# Rivers and waterfalls, valleys and vales

0:16:43 > 0:16:46# Yomping and stomping through England and Wales

0:16:46 > 0:16:48# Rambling and gambolling free. #

0:16:49 > 0:16:51Yes, very nice. But we don't have time

0:16:51 > 0:16:53for song and dance today. I'm busy.

0:16:53 > 0:16:56And I'm all ready for my ramble.

0:16:56 > 0:17:00New maps, new boots, new compass, mirror and a whistle.

0:17:00 > 0:17:01HE BLOWS WHISTLE

0:17:01 > 0:17:06Great gear, Mr Yomper Stomper. Right, Josh, come and get your backpack.

0:17:06 > 0:17:09They'll all be waiting for you at Mistymoor Mountain.

0:17:09 > 0:17:12Excuse me, Grandpa. I'm on duty, remember.

0:17:12 > 0:17:15And, before Mr Yomper Stomper goes off on his ramble,

0:17:15 > 0:17:20he can help out. I'm rushed off my feet, I am. Here.

0:17:20 > 0:17:22Come on, Josh.

0:17:22 > 0:17:24Get pegging!

0:17:26 > 0:17:28Here you go, Josh - sausages, some cheese

0:17:28 > 0:17:31- and Miss Smiley's Groovy Grape Delight.- Thanks, Grandpa.

0:17:31 > 0:17:35We must chivvy Mr Yomper Stomper along. He gets so easily distracted!

0:17:35 > 0:17:39I wouldn't be surprised if he's forgotten why he's come.

0:17:39 > 0:17:40And Grandpa was right.

0:17:40 > 0:17:44Outside, Mr Yomper Stomper was beginning to enjoy

0:17:44 > 0:17:46pegging out Great Aunt Loretta's washing

0:17:46 > 0:17:49and he'd completely forgotten why he'd come.

0:17:49 > 0:17:53# Yomping and stomping through England and Wales

0:17:53 > 0:17:55# Rambling and gambolling free! #

0:17:55 > 0:17:58It really is time to go, Mr Yomper Stomper.

0:17:58 > 0:18:00Oh, yes, I quite forgot.

0:18:00 > 0:18:03- Sorry, Josh.- Excuse me, Grandpa.

0:18:03 > 0:18:06I haven't quite finished with Mr Yomper Stomper yet.

0:18:06 > 0:18:11Let me remind you, I am on duty here and everybody has to do what I say.

0:18:11 > 0:18:15Whee! Rambling and gambolling free, whoo!

0:18:19 > 0:18:22She's not going to listen to me, she's "on duty".

0:18:22 > 0:18:25What can we do, then, Grandpa?

0:18:25 > 0:18:27Well, if I can't get you off on your ramble when I'm big,

0:18:27 > 0:18:30maybe I can when I'm small.

0:18:30 > 0:18:32Not the shrinking cap, Grandpa!

0:18:33 > 0:18:35Catch me if you can!

0:18:35 > 0:18:38'You know when Grandpa shrinks, there's no stopping him.

0:18:38 > 0:18:40'He can run faster than a cheetah

0:18:40 > 0:18:43'and he can jump higher than a kangaroo.

0:18:43 > 0:18:46'He can fly on Gordon, the toy seagull,

0:18:46 > 0:18:50'and he can drive around in my cousin Jason's car.

0:18:50 > 0:18:55'But, today, he ran outside and he hid in Mr Yomper Stomper's backpack.

0:18:55 > 0:18:59'Great Aunt Loretta was all giddy from spinning round.

0:18:59 > 0:19:01- 'Suddenly, Grandpa did this. - LOUD WHISTLING

0:19:01 > 0:19:03'Then, he hid again.'

0:19:03 > 0:19:06- What was that? - I think it was my whistle.

0:19:06 > 0:19:10- Maybe it's trying to tell me something.- Don't be so silly.

0:19:10 > 0:19:14Whistles can't blow themselves. It was you, wasn't it?

0:19:17 > 0:19:19Ooh, oh, I feel all giddy.

0:19:19 > 0:19:24'While Mr Yomper Stomper fanned and calmed Great Aunt Loretta,

0:19:24 > 0:19:26'Grandpa climbed up the washing line.

0:19:26 > 0:19:29'Then he did this.'

0:19:29 > 0:19:31Time for a ramble. Time for a ramble.

0:19:31 > 0:19:35I think your sock just told me it was time for a ramble.

0:19:35 > 0:19:38That's what I'm here for! Of course!

0:19:38 > 0:19:41Oh, Mr Yomper Stomper, you're a right one!

0:19:41 > 0:19:44First you say the whistle blows itself

0:19:44 > 0:19:47and now you tell me I've got a talking sock!

0:19:47 > 0:19:48Help me up.

0:19:49 > 0:19:52Oh. Right, come on.

0:19:52 > 0:19:54More jobs to do indoors.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57Sorry, Josh, be as quick as I can.

0:19:59 > 0:20:01We'll have to try something else.

0:20:01 > 0:20:08Grandpa gone for a little lie down, I suppose. No help at all, as usual.

0:20:08 > 0:20:12- Now then, Mr Yomper Stomper... - 'Just then, Grandpa came inside.'

0:20:12 > 0:20:16Here, and here, and the muck sucker.

0:20:16 > 0:20:20And...here. And...

0:20:22 > 0:20:25- Well, come on. - I'll be five minutes, Josh.

0:20:25 > 0:20:28Come on, up the stairs. Go on, hurry up.

0:20:30 > 0:20:33I've had an idea, Josh. Maybe we can hurry him up

0:20:33 > 0:20:38- by making him think it's later than it actually is.- Right!

0:20:40 > 0:20:46- And Grandpa changed the clock from 10 o'clock to 11 o'clock.- Catch me!

0:20:54 > 0:20:58- Now for the clock upstairs. You wait here.- OK.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02'And up he went.'

0:21:05 > 0:21:10'Upstairs, Mr Yomper Stomper and Great Aunt Loretta were having fun.'

0:21:10 > 0:21:12I'm coming to get you!

0:21:12 > 0:21:15'Just then, Grandpa arrived in upsy-downsy.'

0:21:15 > 0:21:17Good grief.

0:21:19 > 0:21:21'Grandpa jumped down,

0:21:21 > 0:21:26'ran across the table then got into the Sunnysands grandfather clock

0:21:26 > 0:21:30and changed the time from 10 o'clock to 11 o'clock.

0:21:30 > 0:21:33He got out of the clock as quickly as he could,

0:21:33 > 0:21:35ran across the floor and hid.

0:21:39 > 0:21:42Look at the time, Loretta. I almost forgot my ramble with Josh!

0:21:42 > 0:21:44I should be at Mistymoor Mountain!

0:21:44 > 0:21:48'And Great Aunt Loretta loaded up Mr Yomper Stomper.'

0:21:48 > 0:21:51Oh, she's never going to let him go.

0:21:53 > 0:21:57'She filled upsy-downsy with other things and sent it down.

0:21:57 > 0:22:00'Then she suddenly had an idea.'

0:22:00 > 0:22:04I'll just shut that door so the dust can't get in.

0:22:06 > 0:22:10- This is going to be a problem. - 'This was a disaster!

0:22:10 > 0:22:14'Upsy-downsy had gone downstairs and all the doors were shut.

0:22:14 > 0:22:17- 'Grandpa was stuck in the sitting room.'- Ah-ha!

0:22:17 > 0:22:20'But Grandpa, being Grandpa, had an idea.

0:22:20 > 0:22:24'He jumped off the shelves, got into my helicopter

0:22:24 > 0:22:26'and flew up the chimney.

0:22:26 > 0:22:30'While Great Aunt Loretta showed Mr Yomper Stomper

0:22:30 > 0:22:33'where to put the muck sucker, Grandpa flew in.'

0:22:35 > 0:22:41- When they come in, Josh, pretend to turn on the radio. OK?- OK.

0:22:41 > 0:22:44- Let's listen to the radio. - Oh, good idea!

0:22:44 > 0:22:47Let's have some music while you work.

0:22:47 > 0:22:52'At that moment, Grandpa started to pretend to be on the radio.'

0:22:52 > 0:22:57And it's just gone 12 o'clock. My, my, doesn't time fly?

0:22:57 > 0:23:02- 12 o'clock, my word.- And today I have Gavin with me in the studio.

0:23:02 > 0:23:05Hello, Gavin. "Hello."

0:23:05 > 0:23:09Now, Gavin loves going on nature rambles, don't you, Gavin?

0:23:09 > 0:23:11- "I love nature rambles."- So do I.

0:23:11 > 0:23:15And that's why I'm here and we are going to be late!

0:23:15 > 0:23:20We wanted some music. Not boring old talk. Find some music.

0:23:21 > 0:23:25'So I had to turn the radio on to find music.'

0:23:25 > 0:23:31Oh, it's Rick the Rocking Raver! Ooh, he's my favourite!

0:23:31 > 0:23:34Come on, Mr Yomper Stomper, strut your stuff.

0:23:41 > 0:23:45I have to get my phone, Josh, it's upstairs.

0:23:45 > 0:23:49'So, while Great Aunt Loretta and Mr Yomper Stomper danced,

0:23:49 > 0:23:54'I picked Grandpa up and put him in my pocket and upstairs we went.'

0:23:54 > 0:23:56Ooh, the time! The guests.

0:23:56 > 0:24:00Oh, they'll be here before you know it and I'm not ready.

0:24:00 > 0:24:04And I've got to go now. The other ramblers will wonder where we are.

0:24:04 > 0:24:07You can't go. I need you to help.

0:24:07 > 0:24:10'Upstairs, I was helping Grandpa with his plan.

0:24:10 > 0:24:15'I dialled the number of the Mill on the Marsh.'

0:24:15 > 0:24:18PHONE RINGS

0:24:18 > 0:24:21Mill on the Marsh, Loretta speaking. How may I help you?

0:24:21 > 0:24:25Yes. Who? Who?

0:24:25 > 0:24:27ELDERLY VOICE: Oh, hello.

0:24:27 > 0:24:30We were supposed to have arrived this afternoon,

0:24:30 > 0:24:36but I'm afraid we're unable to come because my wife has...

0:24:36 > 0:24:40- 'Grandpa needed an idea.' - ..has had a baby.

0:24:40 > 0:24:43- Oh!- Yes. She's had a baby.

0:24:43 > 0:24:46Right. Well, actually, I'm quite glad you can't come,

0:24:46 > 0:24:49because we're not ready for you. Goodbye.

0:24:50 > 0:24:57Oh, Mr Yomper Stomper, what a relief. The guests have cancelled.

0:24:57 > 0:25:00Phew! I am going for a little lie down.

0:25:00 > 0:25:03And I am going on my ramble with Josh.

0:25:03 > 0:25:05Josh? Josh?

0:25:05 > 0:25:09- Cap off, Grandpa, quick. - We did it, Josh.

0:25:09 > 0:25:13You're going to get your ramble after all. I call it teamwork.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15Teamwork!

0:25:18 > 0:25:21- Ready, Mr Yomper Stomper? - Riddle-di-ri, I most certainly am.

0:25:21 > 0:25:25Loretta's gone for a little lie down. The guests have cancelled.

0:25:25 > 0:25:28Have they? Oh, dear, what a shame.

0:25:28 > 0:25:30DOORBELL

0:25:30 > 0:25:35- That'll be the guests.- Will you be OK, Grandpa?- Of course I will.

0:25:35 > 0:25:36I'm on duty!
