0:01:15 > 0:01:16Can you hear that?

0:01:16 > 0:01:18Oh, it's me, it's my Route Finder.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21Ooh! I think a Tiddler wants to get in touch.

0:01:21 > 0:01:23Who do you think it is?

0:01:33 > 0:01:35Hello, Mr Bloom. My name's Liam.

0:01:35 > 0:01:37Hello, Mr Bloom. My name is Fraser.

0:01:37 > 0:01:41BOTH: And we love living by the Great Orme.

0:01:42 > 0:01:47There are lots of fun ways to get up the Great Orme.

0:01:47 > 0:01:48You can ride the tram.

0:01:57 > 0:02:01Or ride on a cable car like that one.

0:02:01 > 0:02:05It's the longest cable-car ride in the UK.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08'At the top of the Great Orme there are lots of fossils

0:02:08 > 0:02:10'hidden in the rocks.'

0:02:10 > 0:02:13Look at this. Look at this one, Liam.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16They're millions of years old. We love trying to find them.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19Please come and visit, Mr Bloom.

0:02:19 > 0:02:21We can't wait to show you around.

0:02:21 > 0:02:25Wow, the Great Orme. Now, that's a very high place beside the sea.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27Sounds good, though.

0:02:27 > 0:02:30Are you going to join us as well?

0:02:30 > 0:02:32Jolly good!

0:02:32 > 0:02:34# Whereabouts will I end up next?

0:02:36 > 0:02:39# Let's put my Route Finder to the test

0:02:41 > 0:02:43# It could be a beach a village or a city

0:02:43 > 0:02:46# A museum or a school a garden so pretty

0:02:46 > 0:02:48# A church or a station a river or town

0:02:48 > 0:02:51# I just can't wait till you show me around

0:02:51 > 0:02:54# Tiddlers, I'm on my way

0:02:54 > 0:02:59# So where am I today? #

0:02:59 > 0:03:02TIDDLERS: North Wales!

0:03:10 > 0:03:13Hey, there's the tram the Tiddlers mentioned.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16So they must be round here somewhere.

0:03:16 > 0:03:17Shall we go and find them?

0:03:17 > 0:03:19Ha-ha! Come on then!

0:03:21 > 0:03:24Five tickets for the tram, please.

0:03:26 > 0:03:30- There we are, boys. There's your ticket.- Hey! Look!

0:03:30 > 0:03:34- It's Fraser and Liam. How are you doing?- BOTH: Hello, Mr Bloom.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36- These are our mums.- Hello, mums.

0:03:36 > 0:03:38- Hello!- Ha-ha! So what's going on?

0:03:38 > 0:03:41We've got a ticket to take you up the Great Orme.

0:03:41 > 0:03:45That's great. I've never been on a tram like this before.

0:03:45 > 0:03:48- How old is it?- It first ran in 1902.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51Oh, that's over 100 years ago. Ha-ha!

0:03:51 > 0:03:55- So shall we go and get aboard?- Yes. - All right, you lead on.

0:03:55 > 0:03:57And are you coming as well?

0:03:57 > 0:03:58Come on.

0:04:01 > 0:04:02Hello.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10Hello, everybody. I've got a job for you to do today.

0:04:10 > 0:04:13Can you count the passengers, please?

0:04:13 > 0:04:16Here's a ticket clipper, thank you.

0:04:16 > 0:04:18OK, so you start off. Go on, Liam, how many?

0:04:21 > 0:04:25That's five passengers and I tell you what, Fraser,

0:04:25 > 0:04:29- do you want to click five tickets? - OK.- Go on, then.

0:04:30 > 0:04:32One...

0:04:32 > 0:04:35two...

0:04:35 > 0:04:36three...

0:04:36 > 0:04:39four...

0:04:39 > 0:04:40five.

0:04:40 > 0:04:42There we go. Five tickets.

0:04:42 > 0:04:46You know what, Tiddlers? I can put this in my logbook

0:04:46 > 0:04:47as a reminder of me journey.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56- It's a very steep hill, isn't it? - TIDDLERS: Yes.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59How many people can this tram carry, Liam?

0:04:59 > 0:05:02It can carry 48 people.

0:05:02 > 0:05:04- 48 people!- Wow!- Yes, wow-wee!

0:05:07 > 0:05:10Fraser, can you tell me how the tram works?

0:05:10 > 0:05:13Well, um, when there's a tram coming down,

0:05:13 > 0:05:16it sort of helps this tram go up.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20Most trams have a cable on the top.

0:05:20 > 0:05:22- This one has a cable on the bottom.- Oh!

0:05:22 > 0:05:26- This tram is the only one of its kind in Britain.- Is that so?

0:05:27 > 0:05:31- Oh, we're getting higher!- Yeah! - What can we see, Tiddlers?

0:05:31 > 0:05:34Can you see there? There's the prom.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37The prom, yeah. And we can see the sea sparkling away.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40TIDDLERS: From the sun.

0:05:41 > 0:05:43Hey, so what happens now?

0:05:43 > 0:05:46BOTH: We get off at the halfway station.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49- And then we go to the mines. - To the MINES?

0:05:49 > 0:05:51- Yes.- Hee-hee.- The copper mines.

0:05:52 > 0:05:55Right, everybody off. Let's go!

0:05:55 > 0:05:56Ha-ha!

0:06:04 > 0:06:07So where are we now, Tiddlers?

0:06:07 > 0:06:09We're at the Great Orme Ancient Mine.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12Wow! So they're ancient. How old are they?

0:06:12 > 0:06:144,000 years old.

0:06:14 > 0:06:17- 4,000 years old! That's a lot older than us, isn't it?- Yes.

0:06:17 > 0:06:20- Ooh, is it going to be safe down there?- Yes.

0:06:20 > 0:06:23And they're open to the public.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25Oh, right, so anyone can go down there?

0:06:25 > 0:06:28Yes, but you need to wear a helmet.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30- Hey, just in case we bump our heads. - Yes.

0:06:30 > 0:06:32So, helmets on, Tiddlers.

0:06:34 > 0:06:37Let's give them a knock, make sure they're all right.

0:06:37 > 0:06:41- Are you ready?- BOTH: Yep. - OK, let's get down these mines.

0:06:48 > 0:06:52'The mine is lots of tunnels and caves underground.'

0:06:52 > 0:06:54Let's go, Tiddlers!

0:06:54 > 0:06:56Ooh, watch your heads.

0:06:56 > 0:06:59Woo! Look at this cave.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02He-hee! Look, it's a big one, isn't it? Wow!

0:07:02 > 0:07:06I wonder if there's anyone down there. Shall we see?

0:07:06 > 0:07:08OK, one, two, three...

0:07:08 > 0:07:10ALL: HELLO!

0:07:12 > 0:07:15- (Did you hear anybody?)- No.

0:07:15 > 0:07:19I don't think there've been people down here for a long time.

0:07:19 > 0:07:24No, not for... Like that sign says 3,500 years.

0:07:24 > 0:07:25That's right, yes.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28How many miles of tunnels are down here, Fraser?

0:07:28 > 0:07:32They think there were ten miles of tunnels underground.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35Wow! Now that's a very long way. You know what?

0:07:35 > 0:07:40It's a bit like laying 150 football pitches end to end.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43Can you imagine a cave that long?

0:07:43 > 0:07:47- ROUTE FINDER PINGS - Hey, there goes the Route Finder.

0:07:47 > 0:07:52Oh! It wants to show us more about underground places.

0:07:52 > 0:07:57All around the world, there are magical places underground.

0:07:57 > 0:08:01You can find huge, funny-shaped spikes of rock

0:08:01 > 0:08:05hanging from the ceiling called stalactites.

0:08:05 > 0:08:10And growing up from the floor are towers called stalagmites.

0:08:10 > 0:08:16Sometimes, you might also see shiny, sparkly crystals, too.

0:08:16 > 0:08:19- Well, that was interesting, wasn't it, Tiddlers?- Yes.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22I brought something from the gift shop.

0:08:22 > 0:08:26Comes from the underground and it's called malachite?

0:08:26 > 0:08:30- We could put that in the logbook later on, couldn't we?- Yes.

0:08:30 > 0:08:35- So, what's next?- We've shown you the lowest part of the Great Orme.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38- Now we're going to show you the highest.- Really?

0:08:38 > 0:08:41What, up there? Right, let's get to it. Come on!

0:08:48 > 0:08:52SEAGULLS CRY

0:08:52 > 0:08:54Wow! Look at that view!

0:08:54 > 0:08:57Hey, I can see why you love living here, Tiddlers,

0:08:57 > 0:09:01- cos it's fantastic, isn't it? - BOTH: Yes.- Yeah!

0:09:01 > 0:09:04What else is special about being high up here?

0:09:04 > 0:09:06- Well, you can find fossils.- Fossils?

0:09:06 > 0:09:09- All the way up here? - 300 million years ago

0:09:09 > 0:09:12- the Great Orme was in the sea.- No!

0:09:12 > 0:09:15So you're telling me that when the dinosaurs were around,

0:09:15 > 0:09:18- all of this was under water? - BOTH: Yes.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21You know what? I've seen a lot of stones round here

0:09:21 > 0:09:23spelling out people's names.

0:09:23 > 0:09:26Someone's written "Dan". I guess that was Dan.

0:09:26 > 0:09:30- What have you seen, Liam? - James writ his name over there.

0:09:30 > 0:09:35- You're allowed to move the stones around to make shapes?- BOTH: Yes.

0:09:35 > 0:09:38- Well how about...we could all make a shape, couldn't we?- Yes.

0:09:38 > 0:09:40- Shall we make...- A spiral!

0:09:40 > 0:09:44A spiral! That sounds like a good idea to me.

0:09:44 > 0:09:48- So how about we start down there, yeah?- Yes.- Let's get going!

0:09:50 > 0:09:55Let's make our spiral. I reckon we could start off up the top here.

0:09:55 > 0:09:59- Yes.- Oh, good lad. Pop him down there.

0:09:59 > 0:10:03Well done. And then we start to curve round till we get...

0:10:03 > 0:10:05to that one there.

0:10:05 > 0:10:08It's pretty good having all the stones here,

0:10:08 > 0:10:10because nobody takes them home with them.

0:10:10 > 0:10:13We'll leave them here, cos that way everyone can enjoy them,

0:10:13 > 0:10:15- can't they?- Yep.

0:10:17 > 0:10:20- That's right. We're going up a steep bit here.- Yes.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22Liam, put that last one there.

0:10:22 > 0:10:26- Pop yours in, Fraser.- Maybe Fraser could do the last one.

0:10:26 > 0:10:28- And we're done!- Woo!

0:10:28 > 0:10:32Look! Can you see our spiral there on the hill?

0:10:35 > 0:10:38- Wow! What do you reckon of that, Tiddlers?- It's great.

0:10:38 > 0:10:41- And it's really, really spinny.- That's right.

0:10:41 > 0:10:44It looks like the spiral's spinning round.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46We've got a great view from back here,

0:10:46 > 0:10:48because it's REALLY big.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51- What do you reckon, mums? - Great job. Fantastic!

0:10:51 > 0:10:53Well, I tell you what.

0:10:53 > 0:10:56Let's see what I've collected for my log book today.

0:10:56 > 0:11:00- First up, what have we got there? - That's the tram ticket.

0:11:00 > 0:11:03That's right. We got a ticket for riding on the tram.

0:11:03 > 0:11:05So, that can go in there.

0:11:05 > 0:11:09And look, what did we find down the mine?

0:11:09 > 0:11:12- Malachite.- Malachite! It's lovely. Green and orange.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15We could put that in there.

0:11:15 > 0:11:17And then last of all, look at that.

0:11:17 > 0:11:21A lovely picture of the spiral that we made on the hillside.

0:11:21 > 0:11:23- Wow!- Yes.

0:11:23 > 0:11:25Made out of stones and fossils.

0:11:25 > 0:11:27So, that little fellow can go there.

0:11:29 > 0:11:31Why don't you go here and there

0:11:31 > 0:11:35and find out about the special places where you live. He-he.

0:11:37 > 0:11:40CHILDREN: We went here!

0:11:40 > 0:11:43I went there.

0:11:43 > 0:11:47ALL: We've been everywhere!

0:11:49 > 0:11:52Why don't you go to the CBeebies website,

0:11:52 > 0:11:56where you can make your very own Here And There logbook, too.

0:11:57 > 0:12:01Well, I have had a cracking day today, Tiddlers. Have you had fun?

0:12:01 > 0:12:02BOTH: Yes.

0:12:02 > 0:12:06We've been underground, up high, but it's time I hit the road.

0:12:06 > 0:12:08So why don't you join me again soon, when I'll be...

0:12:08 > 0:12:10BOTH: Here and there!

0:12:10 > 0:12:14- You're right, Tiddlers. Bye-bye! Bye-bye, mums.- ALL: Bye.

0:12:14 > 0:12:16# Where is it you like to go?

0:12:16 > 0:12:18# Call me up and let me know

0:12:18 > 0:12:21# What is it you like to do?

0:12:21 > 0:12:23# I'll pop along and do it, too

0:12:23 > 0:12:26# Cities, towns, the countryside

0:12:26 > 0:12:28# I can travel far and wide

0:12:28 > 0:12:30# I'm all about and everywhere

0:12:30 > 0:12:32# I'm here and there. #
