:00:12. > :00:16.Hello and welcome to a very special edition of Live'n'Deadly. We are
:00:16. > :00:19.not live, but we are still definitely deadly. It will be the
:00:19. > :00:22.usual mix of adventure and craziness. But most importantly we
:00:22. > :00:32.will be looking at the different ways that you lot can get out and
:00:32. > :00:32.
:00:32. > :00:37.have your own World Adventures. Speaking of you lot... This is
:00:37. > :00:47.Live'n'Deadly. Our convoy is touring the UK in search of all
:00:47. > :00:51.
:00:51. > :01:01.things wild. And you're coming with us every step of the way. Start on
:01:01. > :01:07.
:01:07. > :01:10.Here on Live'n'Deadly, we have made it our mission to try and get you a
:01:10. > :01:16.lot off the sofa and out into the great outdoors. We will be giving
:01:16. > :01:20.you loads of ideas as to how you can start your own search for
:01:20. > :01:24.inspiring wildlife and adventure. What better place to do a show like
:01:24. > :01:29.this than at our Deadly Day Out, where Stephen myself have got to
:01:29. > :01:35.meet loads of you in person. Over the past in the years, more than
:01:35. > :01:43.150,000 of you have come a long to a Deadly Day Out. Today, I will be
:01:43. > :01:48.taking you on your very own tour. We will be heading backstage to
:01:48. > :01:51.meet the stars of Steve Backshall's amazing animal show. We will be
:01:51. > :02:01.looking at some of the peculiar wildlife which might be living in
:02:01. > :02:02.
:02:02. > :02:06.your neighbourhood. I will take on the Deadly Day Out high-wire
:02:06. > :02:10.challenge, and I will have my very own fourth. Along the way, there
:02:10. > :02:19.will be plenty of advice on how to get involved yourself, whether it
:02:19. > :02:23.is making a mini pond, spotting some elusive animals or surviving
:02:23. > :02:30.in the wild. There will also be a chance to see some of the awesome
:02:30. > :02:39.adventures that we have been on in the UK. So, make sure you stay
:02:39. > :02:43.tuned for a jam-packed show full of all things deadly. One of the big
:02:43. > :02:47.draws at the Deadly Day Out is Steve's animal show, which gives
:02:47. > :02:50.him the opportunity to introduce thousands of you to some seriously
:02:50. > :02:57.cool animals. One princess over there is obviously the main
:02:57. > :03:02.attraction. To begin my tour, I'm going to take you back stage, to
:03:02. > :03:12.make up with Mark and Steve, and hopefully meet some of the show's
:03:12. > :03:24.
:03:24. > :03:29.Hello! It is just insane! As you all know, Steve's passion has
:03:29. > :03:36.always been to get you are not excited about our wildlife. His
:03:36. > :03:40.live show certainly does not disappoint. Every performance
:03:40. > :03:45.features a cast of rescued and rehabilitated animals from all
:03:45. > :03:54.corners of the globe. Like this one, a stunning Harris hawk from North
:03:54. > :03:59.America. And they're all carefully looked after by animal expert Mark.
:03:59. > :04:03.I'm just getting her ready for the show. I will make sure she is the
:04:03. > :04:07.right weight, then I will take the equipment off. I have already
:04:07. > :04:13.fitted the telemetry, just in case, so that I can find her if she goes
:04:13. > :04:20.flying off. It is not likely, though, is it? She has not done it
:04:21. > :04:27.yet, all last season and all this season. She has been brilliant.
:04:27. > :04:31.is not just a Harris hawk getting in on the action, Steve introduced
:04:31. > :04:35.me to some of the other stars. have started getting some smaller
:04:35. > :04:39.animals onto the programme. Because we have got this camera. Everybody
:04:39. > :04:44.can see them on the screen. When I say small, I mean, it is not that
:04:44. > :04:52.small, is it, really? It is the biggest scorpion on earth. Would
:04:52. > :04:57.you like to hold it? Is it safe? Then I won't. Why are you holding
:04:57. > :05:01.it then? It is me, isn't it? It would probably just give you a bit
:05:01. > :05:05.of a pinch with those pincers. has been the reaction from the kids
:05:05. > :05:09.to something like this? It is absolutely fantastic. They react to
:05:09. > :05:12.everything as if it is the first time they have seen it. It is
:05:12. > :05:16.time they have seen it. It is really wonderful, just seeing how
:05:16. > :05:19.excited they are. It is not really surprising, I have been doing this
:05:19. > :05:26.my whole life, yet every time I take out something like this, I get
:05:26. > :05:36.the same thrill of excitement. else have we got off this is the
:05:36. > :05:36.
:05:36. > :05:40.biggest animal we have on the show. It is our python. He is pretty big.
:05:40. > :05:50.It is the longest species of snake found on Earth. There have been a
:05:50. > :05:51.
:05:51. > :05:53.lot of records... Where is it lot of records... Where is it
:05:53. > :05:59.going? Oh, yes, we are very good friends! Has anything gone wrong in
:05:59. > :06:05.any of your shows? I have been scratched and Britain a few times.
:06:05. > :06:10.I have had animals that would not fly, animals that fly too much...
:06:10. > :06:14.In one of our first shows, our Barn Owl got spooked by some sea gulls
:06:14. > :06:23.flying overhead and disappeared into the town. Someone actually
:06:23. > :06:27.came to us a couple of hours later and said, a barn owl has flown into
:06:27. > :06:31.our front room, we think it might be yours. So, we did get it back in
:06:31. > :06:33.the end. We have never lost anything completely - yet. This is
:06:33. > :06:37.a real favourite, an animal that a real favourite, an animal that
:06:37. > :06:41.people just want to see every time they come here. I keep thinking,
:06:41. > :06:50.surely they have seen this before. But every time it comes out of the
:06:50. > :06:58.box, people just kind of go... It is not surprising, he is just
:06:58. > :07:03.amazing. It is an animal that lives in the deep south of North America.
:07:03. > :07:06.This is an alligator snapping turtle. The heaviest of these which
:07:06. > :07:12.have ever been found have weighed as much as Mark and myself put
:07:12. > :07:22.together. And they can bite through a broomstick handle in one single
:07:22. > :07:24.
:07:24. > :07:28.bite. That is one incredibly powerful jaw. So, that's a
:07:28. > :07:31.successful show once again for Steve and his co-stars. This is
:07:32. > :07:36.just the first of five or six shows, so there's still time for things to
:07:36. > :07:40.go wrong. It looks like Mark has got a busy day ahead, keeping the
:07:40. > :07:43.deadly cast happy until they can be transported home for some well-
:07:43. > :07:50.earned rest. But it is time for me to say goodbye to these awesome
:07:50. > :07:54.animals, including this rather scary tarantula. Thankfully, you're
:07:54. > :08:04.not likely to find one of these creeping around where you live, but
:08:04. > :08:05.
:08:05. > :08:11.there are all sorts of spiders You do not always need to be out in
:08:12. > :08:17.the wild to see wildlife. Our warm, dry homes are an enticing prospect
:08:17. > :08:27.for a whole host of species. Including this feared predator, the
:08:27. > :08:30.
:08:30. > :08:33.house spider. They make their homes in our houses all year round. They
:08:33. > :08:37.are often seen in the autumn, when the males go out in search of a
:08:37. > :08:40.female to mate with. Most of us have found one lurking in the
:08:40. > :08:44.bathtub, but contrary to popular belief, they have not come up from
:08:44. > :08:48.the drains, where it is much too cold and wet for their tastes.
:08:48. > :08:56.Instead, they're more likely to have just fallen in and become
:08:56. > :09:00.trapped. A lot of people are scared of these spiders, including me. But
:09:00. > :09:05.there's really no reason to be frightened, as Steve explained when
:09:05. > :09:11.he challenged me to hold one during a live show in Wales. This is a
:09:11. > :09:16.spider which most people hate in this country, a house spider. Naomi,
:09:16. > :09:20.it is time to face the fear. Because actually, this spider here,
:09:20. > :09:26.the common house spider, is actually one of the most valuable
:09:26. > :09:30.creatures in our world. But it scuttles. It runs. They do, but
:09:30. > :09:36.they're totally harmless to worse. Look how carefully it is moving
:09:36. > :09:43.over my hand. This takes in species like flies, mosquitoes, things
:09:43. > :09:53.which can genuinely Hamas. I am a piece of wood. Relax your shoulders,
:09:53. > :09:54.
:09:54. > :09:59.remember to breathe. Just calm down, you're very, very tense. Just relax.
:09:59. > :10:04.Breathe easily. You see, it is not going to do anything. It is just
:10:04. > :10:09.going to sit there. This is a lesson to you. I know that Naomi
:10:09. > :10:12.started doing this series, and she was genuinely Alekna phobic. Now
:10:12. > :10:18.she's doing this. It shows that really there is nothing to be
:10:18. > :10:23.worried about. I'm a lot bigger than it. It is not going to do me
:10:23. > :10:26.any harm. Far from doing you harm, it can actually do you an enormous
:10:26. > :10:31.amount of benefit, because this spider will hunt down animals which
:10:31. > :10:35.really can do us harm, things like flies and mosquitoes, which spread
:10:35. > :10:39.the diseases which kill millions of human beings every year. This
:10:39. > :10:49.spider is our friend. Look at you, you're totally relaxed now. I have
:10:49. > :10:50.
:10:50. > :10:54.to say, Naomi, fear faced, that is brilliant. So, if you do find a
:10:54. > :10:59.house spider in your bath, why not Draper towel over the side of the
:10:59. > :11:02.bath to let it escape on its own? Or if you're feeling brave, you can
:11:02. > :11:06.carefully rescue it and let it go in a nice dry spot. If you really
:11:06. > :11:12.do not want them in your house, let them go in a garage or in a shed,
:11:12. > :11:18.where there will be plenty of tasty flies for them to feed on. Can I
:11:18. > :11:22.have a chip? Thanks! I'm continuing my special Deadly Day Out tour by
:11:22. > :11:25.heading over to the nature zone, where hundreds of you are meeting
:11:25. > :11:33.up with hundreds of unusual animals which you might find living in your
:11:33. > :11:37.neighbourhood. We're outside the nature zone tent, and we are
:11:37. > :11:47.looking for animals which we might find in our local areas. What have
:11:47. > :11:48.
:11:48. > :11:50.we got? This is the common toad. They tend to live away from water.
:11:50. > :11:57.They tend to live away from water. Frogs can be wet and slimy, but
:11:57. > :12:02.this is much drier. If you find one of these, you do not want to be
:12:02. > :12:08.touching it, then? You can pick them up, as long as you're not
:12:08. > :12:18.rough with them. They will not be too unhappy. They will not exude
:12:18. > :12:25.poison from these glands. What else have we got? This is a great
:12:25. > :12:31.crested newt. Again, this has poison in the skin, another defence
:12:31. > :12:37.against predators. If you turn it over... He's Live'n'Deadly colours!
:12:37. > :12:41.Yes! It is warning would-be predators that it is not good to
:12:42. > :12:47.predators that it is not good to eat. And who is this? This is our
:12:47. > :12:52.friend, the slowworm. Where should we be looking for these? You can
:12:52. > :12:56.find slow worms in your back garden. They tend to like living in compost
:12:56. > :13:01.heaps, places where they can find their favourite prey, slugs and
:13:01. > :13:07.snails. It is the same for the Tote, it likes to hide away in compost
:13:07. > :13:14.heaps, where it is nice and warm over the winter, and also the great
:13:14. > :13:22.crested newt, if you're lucky to see one, they also visit gardens
:13:22. > :13:26.sometimes as well. Where can we leave them? Somewhere which is nice
:13:26. > :13:34.and quiet, with plenty of logs and things to hide up in. Somewhere
:13:34. > :13:44.they can find food. A great way to encourage these animals is to make
:13:44. > :13:44.
:13:44. > :15:07.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 82 seconds
:15:07. > :15:11.Don't worry if you don't have anywhere to put a mini pond. It
:15:11. > :15:15.isn't a problem. There are loads of rivers, streams, lakes, canals,
:15:15. > :15:21.waterways across the UK where you can see amazing amphibious animals.
:15:21. > :15:24.If there's one thing we've taught you, it's that this country is full
:15:24. > :15:31.to the brim with fantastic animals. Here are Steve's top tips on how to
:15:31. > :15:35.find them. Spotting wild animals in the UK can
:15:35. > :15:39.be a real challenge, but that's half the fun. If you follow these
:15:39. > :15:49.simple rules, you stand a better chance of seeing wildlife like
:15:49. > :15:55.
:15:55. > :16:00.Think small, it can be really difficult to spot a red deer, if
:16:00. > :16:03.you go out moth trapping or get a butterfly net, your chances
:16:03. > :16:08.increase dramatically. I think I've probably got 15 different species
:16:08. > :16:11.of spieder in here. The British weather can be seriously
:16:11. > :16:15.unpredictable. One minute hot sunshine and the next it could be
:16:15. > :16:19.snowing. Make sure you have the right gear, it could be sun block,
:16:19. > :16:24.a massive heavy coat, and make sure an adult knows where you're going.
:16:24. > :16:28.I know this won't be popular with you bed bugs out there, a lot of
:16:28. > :16:31.wildlife is most active at dusk, dawn or the dead of night. You'll
:16:31. > :16:35.have to keep unsociable hours if you want to find it.
:16:35. > :16:39.Next up is the knowledge, get down to the local library, get on the
:16:39. > :16:46.web, get some books, the more you know about an animal, its habits
:16:46. > :16:53.and where it lives the more likely you are to find them. We know
:16:53. > :16:58.there's an eagle nest. Look at that! Yes make as little impact as
:16:58. > :17:03.possible. Many species have incredible senses of hearing and
:17:03. > :17:08.sight. Wear dull colours, don't wear heavy perfumes and move as
:17:08. > :17:13.quiet as possible, also a problem for our sound man Tim. It's
:17:13. > :17:18.important to respect the animals and their environment. They can be
:17:18. > :17:26.surprisingly fragile. Watch where you're walking, take nothing but
:17:26. > :17:30.memories and photos. Make sure we don't walk through that beautiful
:17:30. > :17:37.spider's web. Be on the watch, doesn't matter what you're doing,
:17:37. > :17:42.walking, hiking, kayaking, hike being, -- biking, there are always
:17:42. > :17:47.animals around you. Just be ready. I just spotted an otter as we were
:17:47. > :17:49.driving along. Follow these simple rules and you stand much more
:17:49. > :17:53.chance seeing animals whether in the town or the woodlands, every
:17:53. > :17:56.moment of the day could show you wild wonders.
:17:56. > :18:01.Over the course of Live'n'Deadly lots of you have already been out
:18:02. > :18:06.and about searching for the best wildlife that the UK has to offer.
:18:06. > :18:10.Some species are easy to spot, others are much harder, but with
:18:10. > :18:14.clever detective work and plenty of persistence you can track down even
:18:14. > :18:19.the most elusive of animals. As this team of deadly explorers found
:18:19. > :18:26.out when Steve set them a very special mission, to find the dark
:18:26. > :18:35.loving, underground living, worm- munching badgers. I'm Lydia. I am
:18:35. > :18:45.14. My name's Antony. I'm 12 years old. I'm George, I live in Dorset.
:18:45. > :18:47.
:18:47. > :18:50.I'm Sasha. I'm 12 years old. OK, we have our mission from Steve. I hope
:18:50. > :18:54.that you all like getting out and don't mind a late night, because
:18:54. > :18:58.I've got a real challenge for you, to find a very shy and elusive
:18:58. > :19:01.animal, the badger. They're found all over the UK. We rarely get to
:19:01. > :19:04.see them because they really only choose to come out at night. Your
:19:05. > :19:08.mission is to spend the day searching for clues to tell you
:19:09. > :19:12.where the badgers are. Then I want you to stake out that spot and see
:19:12. > :19:22.if you can see them. You have a guide to help you out. Get on outs
:19:22. > :19:25.
:19:26. > :19:30.there badger spotting. Let's go! Come on. Hi guys. My
:19:30. > :19:36.name's Mark. I'm from Badger Watch Dorset. This afternoon we're going
:19:36. > :19:46.to spot some badgers. Does that sound a good idea? Yeah! Do you
:19:46. > :19:57.
:19:57. > :20:03.fancy jumping in the back of the Right, can we look down here, what
:20:03. > :20:08.do you think can you see here? paw print. The chances are I reckon
:20:08. > :20:13.this is a badger's print. You see the five long nails here? That's
:20:13. > :20:18.the front paw print. That's what they use for digging, taking out
:20:18. > :20:23.the soil. Over here, can you see more? I think that's a back one?
:20:23. > :20:27.reckon you're right. Do you know why? Is it because they haven't got
:20:27. > :20:30.any claws? Much shorter nails and they're not imprinting into the
:20:30. > :20:40.soil. That's a really good indication we have badgers here.
:20:40. > :20:44.Let's see if we can find any more signs of badgers. So we're up at
:20:44. > :20:47.the badger set here. You can see the entrance of the set here. See
:20:48. > :20:57.this barbed wire, can you spot anything on the wire? Is that fur?
:20:58. > :20:58.
:20:58. > :21:04.That is. Let's have a look. That's a strand of badger hair. You feel
:21:04. > :21:10.how wirey that is. Oh, wow! What colour is it? Black and white.
:21:10. > :21:20.Absolutely right. This is good evidence the badgers are here.
:21:20. > :21:27.Let's see what else we can find. Cool. Let's look up here and see
:21:27. > :21:33.what we can find, shall we? What are you spotting around here?
:21:33. > :21:36.Burrow. Yes. What do you think this is here? Old hay. Yes, very good.
:21:36. > :21:42.Do you reckon because it's come from the set here, do you think
:21:42. > :21:50.this could be old bedding? Yeah. Who wants to have a smell? Me.
:21:50. > :21:55.can both have a smell. It smells really sweet. Oh, lovely. Basically,
:21:55. > :21:59.this is a fresh set, you can see it's been used. If you look deep in
:21:59. > :22:02.the hole, there's nesting material. That's new nesting material.
:22:02. > :22:07.Basically they're changing their bedding. If you're at home, if you
:22:08. > :22:12.take your old sheet off, you get a new one, don't you? Same for the
:22:12. > :22:16.badgers. Where are they now? They're in there asleep. What time
:22:16. > :22:23.do they wake up? In the evening, about 7pm. Then that's the
:22:23. > :22:27.beginning of their day. Right, we have found plenty of evidence of
:22:27. > :22:33.badgers here. Now is the time, do you fancy looking at real live
:22:33. > :22:37.badgers? Yeah! Off we go. With all those signs that badgers are around,
:22:37. > :22:42.our explorers are head nooing a hide, where they're hoping to catch
:22:42. > :22:46.a glimpse of one of these elusive creatures. But they're going to
:22:47. > :22:51.need to stay really quiet. Basically guys, we have to keep an
:22:52. > :22:57.eye across the bank, with a bit of luck, they might come right down in
:22:57. > :23:07.front of the hide. Sometimes waiting for wildlife requires a lot
:23:07. > :23:12.
:23:12. > :23:22.of patience. Look straight ahead. It's playing hide and seek. He's
:23:22. > :23:36.
:23:36. > :23:41.He's having a scratch. He is so beautiful. They are lovely. He's
:23:41. > :23:51.gone. I still think that last badger was very, very, very
:23:51. > :24:13.
:24:13. > :24:22.There's two badgers, guys. Three! Sshhh... A fourth one there.
:24:22. > :24:28.think it's badger night tonight. We have been extremely lucky tonight.
:24:28. > :24:32.They're really -- I have really enjoyed this bit. Due have fun?
:24:32. > :24:38.Yeah. Everything about the whole thing was really G all I have to
:24:38. > :24:46.say about it is ten out of ten. Thanks Steve. Yeah! Mission
:24:46. > :24:50.accomplished! If you like the idea of badger spotting, then why not
:24:50. > :24:54.have a go too? Badgers are found all over the UK. You shouldn't have
:24:54. > :25:00.to travel far to find them. They don't hibernate, but they are less
:25:00. > :25:02.active in the winter. The easiest way to do it is find a local badger
:25:02. > :25:10.watching group, who will be able to show you where and when to look.
:25:10. > :25:13.Get out there and give it a go. Of course, if you are heading off
:25:14. > :25:17.into the great outdoors it's very important to be prepared. Another
:25:17. > :25:20.thing we're doing at the deadly days out is putting on bush craft
:25:20. > :25:27.demonstrations, where you can pick up useful tips and techniques for
:25:27. > :25:33.surviving in the wild. I'm off there right now.
:25:33. > :25:41.Deadly! Whether it's building a shelter or cooking your food, bush
:25:41. > :25:45.craft is another great way of interacting with nature. And expert
:25:45. > :25:52.Chris Salisbury is going to show me one of the most challenging skills
:25:52. > :25:58.of all. Are we going to make fire now? Yes, in the rain. Cool! Let's
:25:58. > :26:02.do it. I'm excited to see this. Force this in, hold the bow here.
:26:02. > :26:12.You're going to push this back-and- forth, hopefully you have lots of
:26:12. > :26:17.energy. Wow! Now then we pile on the pressure, increase the speed.
:26:17. > :26:25.That's going to continue to smoke because inside is a little ember,
:26:25. > :26:35.here it is, watch. There it is! very carefully, we're going to play

:26:47. > :26:49.
:26:49. > :26:59.Wow! APPLAUSE
:26:59. > :27:05.Right, it's your turn. I've got a feeling I'm not going to do this.
:27:05. > :27:10.Let's see what happens when I take my hand away. Oh, dear.
:27:10. > :27:14.No, I give up. Of course, it goes without saying you should never try
:27:14. > :27:17.to make a fire on your own. Only try it when you're with a grown up
:27:17. > :27:21.or an expert who knows what they're doing. Making fire is one of a
:27:21. > :27:25.whole range of bush craft skills thaw can learn. Steve got to try a
:27:25. > :27:30.few more when he headed into the wild on another exciting UK
:27:30. > :27:37.adventure. For this week's big adventure we're in Northern Ireland
:27:37. > :27:46.and one of the finest wildlife locations in all of Europe. This is
:27:46. > :27:51.strangfrd loch. It's a massive lake, it's awash with life. So the plan
:27:51. > :27:55.is to paddle into the loch, get carried by the tide right down into
:27:55. > :28:05.it, try and find some cool wildlife and find somewhere to spend the

:28:14. > :28:18.night tonight. This is going to be The thing I love most about sea
:28:18. > :28:23.kayaking is just the sense of total freedom. It's a sense that I can go

:28:53. > :29:00.Just gorgeous and so much wildlife around. Just on the rocky ledge
:29:00. > :29:04.ahead of me is what looks like a great big ball of cotton wool. It's
:29:04. > :29:10.actually one of this year's seal pups, probably no more than about
:29:10. > :29:18.six weeks old. And mum is watching me very, very carefully, very
:29:18. > :29:22.protectively right behind me. Mum here will be feeding it on very,
:29:22. > :29:32.very fat laden milk, so it can lay down the layers of blubber that it
:29:32. > :29:34.
:29:34. > :29:41.needs to survive. It's OK. We're going to move on now.
:29:41. > :29:48.There's an old legend that says Strangford loch has 365 islands,

:31:06. > :31:12.make camp. To build a simple lean- to shelter, the first thing you
:31:12. > :31:16.need is a framework like this. You can build an A-frame out of a
:31:17. > :31:26.couple of sticks. Then we need to stack sticks along here and cover
:31:27. > :31:37.
:31:37. > :31:47.it with insulating material. I'm Haddeee shelter assorted, now to

:32:50. > :32:57.But now, we can all enjoy our seafood supper. What I'm really
:32:57. > :33:05.doing is cooking the seafood just straight in the embers of the fire.
:33:05. > :33:11.Their shells almost provide a perfect ready-made pan. If they do
:33:11. > :33:15.not open up, that means they're bad, and you should not eat them. This
:33:15. > :33:20.is a cockle. That's as good as anything you would get in any top
:33:20. > :33:28.quality restaurant. Really good. Actually, the surprising one is the
:33:28. > :33:35.limpets. They're a little bit tough. I'm not going to eat that. You can
:33:35. > :33:40.live on it, it tastes rubbish. So, in just 24 hours, I have crammed in
:33:40. > :33:46.some superb sea kayaking, lots of wonderful wildlife, plus a spot of
:33:46. > :33:49.successful bush craft. Well, mainly successful! And I rounded it all
:33:50. > :33:55.off with a night under the stars. That's what I call proper wild
:33:55. > :33:58.adventure. Of course, big adventures are not just for Steve,
:33:58. > :34:05.they're for you lot as well. You can try these activities anywhere
:34:05. > :34:09.in the UK. But remember to always stay safe, don't try anything on
:34:09. > :34:15.your own. Find an expert or club that can teach you how to do it
:34:15. > :34:20.properly, and make sure you have got the right gear. We really think
:34:20. > :34:30.that anything that Steve and I do, you can do it as well. If you do
:34:30. > :35:09.
:35:09. > :35:15.It is easier than you might think to learn to do these exciting
:35:15. > :35:21.activities, and we have been trying to introduce you to as many of them
:35:21. > :35:30.as possible, whatever it may be. So, I'm about to head up there and have
:35:30. > :35:37.a go at that myself. Here we go again, another daring, wild
:35:37. > :35:45.activity. How scary is this? These activities may look intimidating,
:35:45. > :35:48.but there are always people willing to show you the ropes. A lot of the
:35:48. > :35:56.best adventures are when you challenge yourself to try something
:35:56. > :36:01.new. It is getting thinner! Hello, down there. Over the course of
:36:02. > :36:08.Live'n'Deadly, I have certainly done that. Here's a few useful tips
:36:08. > :36:12.I have picked up. Don't worry if you get scared. It is very wobbly!
:36:12. > :36:22.It is perfectly normal to be frightened, it is all part of the

:36:25. > :36:28.experience. Pretend I am Steve Backshall! And go! Centre of
:36:28. > :36:36.gravity low... If you're trying something new, why not persuade
:36:36. > :36:41.your friends to come along? It is always easier to do things as a
:36:41. > :36:46.group, even if you do not always succeed, taking part and giving it
:36:46. > :36:54.a go is the most important thing. I will just stay here by the tree for
:36:55. > :36:58.a minute or two. Never let go. Now, if you want to have a go at doing
:36:58. > :37:01.something like this, then you can. There are loads of places across
:37:01. > :37:07.the UK to have a go. Once you have got the skills, you can then take
:37:07. > :37:15.them out into the wild, just like this lot did, when Steve set them
:37:15. > :37:19.another Deadly Mission. This mission is not for the faint-
:37:19. > :37:23.hearted. And where better to set this challenge ban in one of my
:37:23. > :37:29.favourite places in the UK, Snowdonia in North Wales? It is the
:37:29. > :37:33.perfect spot for an epic adventure. It has got fast, furious rivers and
:37:34. > :37:37.steep gorges. My team will have to have a head for heights and nerves
:37:37. > :37:47.of steel. I have tracked down a crack team of climbers who should
:37:47. > :37:49.
:37:49. > :37:59.be up for the challenge. I am 13 years old. I am 14 years old.
:37:59. > :38:01.
:38:01. > :38:09.13. I am 11 years old. I am 12 years old. And we are And Young
:38:09. > :38:14.Climbers. Their instructor has a message for them. Gather round, I
:38:14. > :38:18.have got a message from Steve. understand that you're all climbers.
:38:18. > :38:22.Good on you, so key people after my own heart. But I have got a special
:38:22. > :38:26.challenge for you. I want you to take those indoor skills and try
:38:26. > :38:31.them out in the great outdoors. I want you to follow the journey of
:38:31. > :38:35.one of the most extraordinary creatures on the planet. It makes
:38:35. > :38:40.an epic journey from the sea to freshwater rivers, swimming against
:38:40. > :38:44.the flow. Your mission is to follow their journey, gorge scrambling,
:38:44. > :38:49.upstream. You will need a bit of assistance, but I have found the
:38:49. > :38:59.perfect crew to take care of you. So get out there and get wet.
:38:59. > :39:06.
:39:06. > :39:11.So, the team make their way to the river to meet their instructor.
:39:11. > :39:15.name is Lawrence, and I'm your instructor for the gorge scrambling.
:39:15. > :39:19.But they need some extra kit before they set off, because this will be
:39:19. > :39:28.a whole different world of climbing. The wet suit will keep them warm in
:39:28. > :39:36.the water. The harness will help them tackle the tricky parts of the
:39:36. > :39:42.gorge. Also they have a buoyancy aid and the all-important helmet.
:39:42. > :39:49.OK, now that we are kitted up, shall we go and get wet? Yes!
:39:49. > :39:56.go. That's it, good stuff. It will get a bit deeper here. My feet are
:39:56. > :40:03.wet! There is a lot more where that came from. Welcome to the world of
:40:03. > :40:09.the salmon. Guys, we're about to head up into the gorge, so we have
:40:09. > :40:13.some safety rules. If the rock looks green, it is probably
:40:13. > :40:17.slippery, so be careful. The rock might be wet, it does not mean it
:40:18. > :40:24.is a slippery. If you're not sure, give it a little test with your
:40:24. > :40:29.foot to see if it is slippery. Good stuff, let's get on. Good luck, I
:40:29. > :40:34.think you're going to need it. Atlantic salmon a powerful swimmers,
:40:34. > :40:41.able to jump up waterfalls more than three metres high. And all
:40:41. > :40:51.against the flow of the surging river. Now, it is up to our team to
:40:51. > :40:56.follow their path. OK, guys, welcome to this section of the
:40:56. > :41:02.gorge. Can you see those two big boulders, we're actually going to
:41:02. > :41:06.go through there. Can you imagine how hard that will be? Sophie, do
:41:06. > :41:16.you want to go first? It is time to put those indoor climbing skills to
:41:16. > :41:20.
:41:20. > :41:30.the test. That's it, good, keep to the right. That's it, that good.
:41:30. > :41:35.
:41:35. > :41:40.As the team make great progress up the 10-metre high waterfall, using
:41:40. > :41:42.their climbing skills and some help from the ropes, the salmon use
:41:42. > :41:52.their powerful muscles and streamlined bodies to battle
:41:52. > :41:55.
:41:55. > :42:01.against the current. Well done, that's it, good stuff. That was
:42:01. > :42:06.quite hard but it was really fun. Well done, guys, you made it
:42:06. > :42:11.through, do you think the salmon could do it? Yes, but it would be
:42:11. > :42:16.really hard. We have not got as wet as the sum and yet, and we're going
:42:16. > :42:20.to do that now. I am going to show you how to do a belly flop jump in
:42:20. > :42:27.to the pool. I think the salmon will probably like this pool, a bit
:42:27. > :42:32.of a rest after the waterfall. Lawrence knows this gorge inside
:42:32. > :42:42.out, but he cannot let them have all the fun. Am going to put my
:42:42. > :42:44.
:42:44. > :42:54.arms out, and a nice big belly flop. Three, two, one... OK, guys, now,
:42:54. > :43:16.
:43:16. > :43:20.Thanks, Steve, I'm having a great day. Brilliant work, guys, you have
:43:20. > :43:24.really put all those climbing skills to the test in the big
:43:24. > :43:31.outdoors. And you have given those salmon a run for their money. I'm
:43:31. > :43:34.very impressed. I think the salmon are amazing. They can jump up
:43:35. > :43:43.really high waterfalls. I'm really enjoying it because all the water
:43:43. > :43:48.is coming down on you. It is really fun. I wonder what the team think
:43:48. > :43:55.of the salmon now that they have been submerged in their world.
:43:55. > :43:59.Salman are really amazing. I could not agree with you more.
:43:59. > :44:03.instructor has found the perfect spot to end the day. This may not
:44:03. > :44:13.be part of the salmon's journey, but it does look like a whole lot
:44:13. > :44:35.
:44:35. > :44:38.The Deadly Day Out is in full swing, and hundreds of you are getting
:44:38. > :44:48.stuck into some fantastic activities, and meeting unusual
:44:48. > :44:52.
:44:52. > :44:57.characters. I'm here with Julie, and we are joined by this cute
:44:57. > :45:03.little bat. We have got 17 species in the UK, this is one of the most
:45:03. > :45:09.common ones. How do you know if there are bats in your area?
:45:09. > :45:14.may see them in the evening flying around, if you go out around dusk.
:45:14. > :45:20.You can get bat detectors, to pick up their calls. And it is it best
:45:20. > :45:25.to look in summer? That is when their most active, yes. Also, in
:45:25. > :45:30.the autumn, they are feeding and mating. They live on insects, and
:45:30. > :45:35.in the winter, there's no insects around. So they would soon run out
:45:35. > :45:42.of energy, so instead, they hibernate in winter, to conserve
:45:42. > :45:48.energy. They will go somewhere nice and cold to do this. If our viewers
:45:48. > :45:55.would like to know more about bats, what should they do? They can
:45:55. > :46:05.contact the Bat Conservation Trust. Most counties will have taken own
:46:05. > :46:06.
:46:06. > :46:11.bat group as well. That's fantastic. So, we have heard about a few
:46:11. > :46:20.different places where bats like to hide out, but I went to a place to
:46:20. > :46:26.look for bats which was a bit more I've come to the Yorkshire Dales to
:46:26. > :46:30.find out about where bats like to roost and hibernate. That means
:46:30. > :46:36.heading under ground. For this challenge I teamed up with bat
:46:36. > :46:46.expert and experienced caver, Anita. We're going in there? Yeah, where
:46:46. > :46:51.
:46:51. > :46:56.the rope's hanging. That's your Starting the descent into the cave!
:46:56. > :47:05.Are there any spiders in here? lots. Oh, no, are there? Don't tell
:47:05. > :47:09.me that. I'm not doing this very gracefully. My challenge is to
:47:09. > :47:13.follow the bat's flight path through this cave system, a journey
:47:13. > :47:19.that will take minutes for the bats, but might take me a little bit
:47:19. > :47:26.longer. Off rope. Here we are at the entrance to the cave. I can
:47:26. > :47:31.already see a big spider's web over there. I'm sow glad you're with me.
:47:31. > :47:39.Do you want to go first? No, can you? Is it going to be this low all
:47:39. > :47:44.the way through? Some of it will be lower. I am being brave. Of course,
:47:44. > :47:48.bats don't have head torchs to get through, they use echolocation,
:47:48. > :47:52.emitting clicks which echo off the call walls. When they hear them
:47:52. > :47:56.they build up a mental picture of their surroundings, so easily make
:47:56. > :48:01.their way through these tunnels. They really are built for this
:48:01. > :48:04.environment, which is more than I can say for me and my crewment --
:48:04. > :48:14.crew. From here on in, the passengerways get smaller and
:48:14. > :48:24.smaller. This is horrible. This is so clumsy and awkward. How do you
:48:24. > :48:31.
:48:31. > :48:35.get your head through there? Like that? It's like being born. Oh, my
:48:35. > :48:39.goodness that really is one of the worst things I've ever done.
:48:39. > :48:43.Definite sense of adventure about it, though. Though it might be an
:48:43. > :48:47.adventure for us, Anita found evidence that for some bats this is
:48:47. > :48:51.home from home. Are these wings? Yes, this is where bats have come
:48:51. > :48:57.to roost in the evening. They just eat the bodies and they drop the
:48:57. > :49:03.legs. Fussy eaters. This is definite evidence they've been here.
:49:03. > :49:07.They come night after night and have a little banquet. Brilliant.
:49:07. > :49:17.It's been three really tough hours, but we are finally approaching the
:49:17. > :49:19.
:49:19. > :49:24.mouth of the cave. I can see daylight. Hallelujah! I survived my
:49:24. > :49:28.bat experience! Back in daylight. I love it. I can see why people get a
:49:28. > :49:33.kick out of that. I feel a real sense of achievement, now I'm out
:49:33. > :49:40.of there. I can't believe a bat can fly that route at about 15mph and
:49:40. > :49:48.not hit a thing. It's incredible. I can certainly see why bats choose
:49:48. > :49:51.to hang upside down. Of course, you don't have to go caving to find
:49:51. > :49:56.bats. There are 17 species of bat in the UK for to you look out for.
:49:56. > :50:00.They live in our towns and cities as well as the countryside. Watch
:50:00. > :50:06.the skies wherever you are. Dusk is the best time of day to spot them.

:53:40. > :53:44.another expert, a genius I'm getting to work with, it's James,
:53:44. > :53:48.bird expert, aren't you? Well, I like to think I know a little bit
:53:48. > :53:53.about them. You're fantastic. This is a UK bird, Gilbert. This is the
:53:53. > :53:57.classic British bird.. He's a barn owl. Where can we find barn owls?
:53:57. > :54:02.Everyone thinks you find them in barns. We only started calling them
:54:02. > :54:12.barn owls about 247 years ago. Prior to that they were -- 200
:54:12. > :54:13.
:54:13. > :54:17.years ago. Prior to that they were called streech owls. I wonder why!
:54:17. > :54:22.They glide in open meadows looking and listening for food. Are they
:54:22. > :54:28.right across the UK? All over the UK. The barn owl is the most widely
:54:28. > :54:35.spread of all the owls. This is most likely to see then? If you see
:54:35. > :54:38.one you're very lucky. Why? We've lost 90% in 50 years. That's not
:54:38. > :54:44.through the lack of barns, that's through the lack of hedge rows.
:54:44. > :54:50.Under the hedge rows is where the voles would like -- they like to
:54:50. > :54:55.eat. Then to our tiny little friend. Hello teeny one. This is Geoff, the
:54:55. > :54:59.little owl. Geoff is a little owl. Today we would describe them as
:54:59. > :55:06.being British. They were imported from the continents in the 1950s.
:55:06. > :55:10.They were released over here. These are now really widely spread. They
:55:10. > :55:17.are from the south of England into the borders of Scotland. They are
:55:17. > :55:20.slowly taking over most moorland areas throughout the UK. These you
:55:20. > :55:26.see in the daytime and often on the ground or sitting on a post. If you
:55:26. > :55:30.see one of these on a post at 2pm today, they go back to the same
:55:30. > :55:35.place tomorrow and they'll probably be there again. They're creatures
:55:35. > :55:41.of habit. You're lovely. Then another UK bird here that has
:55:42. > :55:46.appeared in our shows. Lady Jane. This is the fastest thing we
:55:47. > :55:53.believe has ever lived on this planet, a female peregrine. She is
:55:53. > :55:58.pretty special to watch in flight. She really is. We've been flying
:55:58. > :56:03.her over audiences. She does vertical stoops. When she's on
:56:03. > :56:08.form... She draws gasps from the crowd doesn't she? Yes. It's
:56:08. > :56:14.magical to watch. I've been doing this since I was 11, even now I
:56:14. > :56:19.still get that wow every time she flies. It does, it's great when she
:56:19. > :56:25.flys. We have one more show to do. Shall we do it? Why not.
:56:25. > :56:29.The fun has been going on all day. We've take anyone some fabulous
:56:29. > :56:34.shows. We've seen great wildlife from the UK and abroad and had a
:56:34. > :56:39.taste of adventure too. And you've been getting stuck into plenty of
:56:40. > :56:45.other great activities. We've seen hedgehogs and loads of other fun
:56:45. > :56:50.creatures. Steve got a big snake around his neck. She showed the
:56:51. > :56:55.snake, the python, it were massive. It was amazing. I couldn't explain.
:56:56. > :57:00.It was really good. Really, really, really good. Now it's time for me
:57:00. > :57:03.to head back to the Main Stage and meet up with Steve. Once again
:57:03. > :57:08.we've had a fabulous Deadly Day Out in Devon. Thousands of you showed
:57:08. > :57:12.up and you got to meet some animals and had a go at great activities
:57:12. > :57:16.too. Deadly is about joining up wildlife and adventure. Whether
:57:16. > :57:21.you're biking, climbing, caving, running, it doesn't matter, there
:57:21. > :57:26.are always animals around. Keep looking. You know what, so many of
