:01:18. > :01:20.though it's quite small, it had a strong grip, looked at me with those

:02:17. > :02:18.After months of training, her mammoth task is just days away

:02:19. > :02:26.I am here with Blue Peter presenter Lindsay and she's about to set off

:02:27. > :02:30.on this epic challenge. You're the wave runner. We caught you literally

:02:31. > :02:34.before you're about to head off to Northern Ireland. Minutes. It's

:02:35. > :02:38.ready to go. They're packed and ready to go. How are you feeling?

:02:39. > :02:43.Terrified, really, really nervous. This is officially, I think, the

:02:44. > :02:48.biggest challenge of my life. I have never done anything this big on Blue

:02:49. > :02:52.Peter. We're so used to adventures and challenges, but this one really

:02:53. > :02:56.is huge, so I'm scared. I feel physically good, though. I have been

:02:57. > :03:00.training for five months now and eating all the right foods. I have

:03:01. > :03:05.been at the gym loads. I have done all I can. You have been training

:03:06. > :03:10.for hours on end, on the treadmill. How long? The longest I did was a

:03:11. > :03:14.six-hour run, which I don't recommend. That's just silly. So

:03:15. > :03:19.have you all come to know each other? We're friends and enemies.

:03:20. > :03:22.Sometimes I love the Zorb. Sometimes it's horrible. Weather conditions

:03:23. > :03:26.have to be right for you to complete this challenge for Sport Relief. Lou

:03:27. > :03:30.is it looking? We're looking good, but literally just for 24 hours. We

:03:31. > :03:35.found a window. We set aside two weeks to do this, and we thought in

:03:36. > :03:39.that time there has to be a day that's good, and it turns out there

:03:40. > :03:42.is literally only 23, 24 hours where the wind is right. The sun is OK.

:03:43. > :03:46.The tides are doing the right thing. The swells aren't too big, so we

:03:47. > :03:50.think we have just hopefully found the perfect moment to do it. Tell us

:03:51. > :03:59.where you're starting. I am starting in Northern Ireland. The idea is to

:04:00. > :04:04.cross into Port Patrick, which is where my dad is. My school will be

:04:05. > :04:11.there, my God brother and my cousins. I am half-Scottish, so it's

:04:12. > :04:15.special to finish there. Represent Scotland. Just have a cup of tea

:04:16. > :04:21.before you get into that car. Best of luck. I'll yo see you on the

:04:22. > :04:22.other side. Bie, Newsround. Thanks, Lindsay.

:04:26. > :04:28.But scientists in Shropshire in England, have now fitted them

:04:29. > :04:31.with trackers to work out where they go, so they can limit

:04:32. > :04:42.Slugs are more active at night and will be out in the field and have a

:04:43. > :04:47.number of tagged slugs which we relief. We'll go back every 20
