:00:20. > :00:25.for my co-presenter. I said to allow plenty of time for the journey so
:00:25. > :00:33.when you get here your calm and relaxed. This is a brand-new series.
:00:33. > :00:39.We need to make a good impression. Whatever you do, do not be late. He
:00:39. > :00:49.was like, do not worry, it will be fine. Hang on, can you hear
:00:49. > :00:51.
:00:51. > :00:59.something. They weren't me about him. Hello. Hello.Where have you
:00:59. > :01:09.been? The traffic was a nightmare. The traffic? I am here now. Shall we
:01:09. > :01:44.
:01:44. > :01:49.brand new series. I am Naomi Wilkinson. I am Tim Warwood. Your
:01:49. > :01:54.Saturday mornings are about to get wild. Our mission is to get you up
:01:54. > :01:58.to discover the weird and wonderful wild things outside your door.
:01:58. > :02:02.will be broadcasting from a different location every week.
:02:03. > :02:11.are starting our series in the stunning mountains. This is real. We
:02:11. > :02:21.are in North Wales at Plas Y Brenin. We are right here. Over the course
:02:21. > :02:22.
:02:22. > :02:28.of the next hour, we will deliver it to you. We have a gang of animals to
:02:28. > :02:35.help us out, it is our audience. They are so lovely. Heading amongst
:02:35. > :02:42.them, you may spot Radzi. I am over here and we are very excited. The
:02:42. > :02:48.audience are excited. I may have to keep my eye on some of them. Some of
:02:49. > :02:55.them are ready taking advantage of the activities we have got. We have
:02:55. > :03:00.guys in kayaks. More will be revealed later. In the meantime, I
:03:00. > :03:09.am pleased to introduce to you and mountain bike legend. Chris Doney.
:03:09. > :03:15.Check him out. And Rough Rider, Mr Phil Hall. Look at that thing. We
:03:15. > :03:24.have a whole host of wild animals along for the ride as well. We have
:03:25. > :03:31.all of that, and mountains. This week's wild thing, Grace, ropes and
:03:31. > :03:38.her friends to skill great tits in search of adventure. Tim goes in
:03:38. > :03:43.search of a UK-based sport to fulfil his love of the mountains. Naomi
:03:43. > :03:46.meet some aerial predators who really do have a head for heights.
:03:46. > :03:56.And we meet a young man who likes nothing more than capturing wildlife
:03:56. > :04:01.on camera. We have got mountains to fit in. We have already used that
:04:01. > :04:06.joke. You cannot do it twice. Let's start off with an awesome animal. It
:04:06. > :04:14.is a giant of the skies, high-speed hunter that always has its eye on
:04:14. > :04:17.the prize. A snake? It is not a snake. It is a high flyer. The
:04:17. > :04:23.golden eagle used to be a common sight in Britain but they were
:04:23. > :04:30.heavily hunted and their population has plummeted. Thankfully, 60 years
:04:30. > :04:35.ago, it became illegal to kill them and numbers are slowly on the up.
:04:35. > :04:38.The golden eagle is a massive bird with a wingspan around the same
:04:38. > :04:47.height as your front door and the tale that allows it to make the
:04:47. > :04:52.slightest change in direction. Their eyesight is up to eight times more
:04:52. > :04:58.powerful than our own so they can pick up Ray from over a mile away,
:04:58. > :05:04.making the golden eagle pretty perfect predator. Look, we have a
:05:04. > :05:11.golden eagle on our wild set, along with Bert handler Graham. Welcome.
:05:11. > :05:15.This is Sebastien. The bird in the film just took out a fox. Do they
:05:15. > :05:21.really take prey that size? They are the most some are born predator.
:05:21. > :05:27.This one is two years old. He is not quite at full size. He's going to
:05:27. > :05:33.develop muscle. Is that what they would normally eat? Yes, the hunt
:05:33. > :05:36.from Fox's right through to hearers and rabbits. It was huge, I could
:05:36. > :05:44.not believe it. They have even been known to take Wilson in the wild in
:05:44. > :05:49.Russia. Can I see his wingspan? Look at that. Can I please have a go at
:05:49. > :05:55.holding him? Of course you can.Is this going to be safe, will he sends
:05:55. > :06:03.my fear? He may little bit.I am looking forward to meeting him. It's
:06:03. > :06:09.the heavy? Yes. They are massive. They are details of the trade. That
:06:09. > :06:16.is what he uses to grab prey. They are so immense, the pressure he can
:06:16. > :06:21.exert through them. About �200 per square inch. How does that compare
:06:21. > :06:29.to what we would no? The human jaw crunches down at about �600 per
:06:29. > :06:36.square inch. Can we see his eyes? Yes. You are beautiful. Tell about
:06:36. > :06:42.his eyes? They are about eight times more powerful than yours or mine.
:06:43. > :06:50.he all right when that happens. Yes. He just wants to fly. But did
:06:50. > :06:58.not hurt him? Not at all. His eyes are so sensitive. He is scanning
:06:58. > :07:08.around. We cannot fly him, but we do have a close cousin of him that is
:07:08. > :07:08.
:07:08. > :07:14.in the sky, I believe, somewhere. There he is down there. This is one
:07:14. > :07:18.of the family. He has a very deep wing beat. He has a very wide wing
:07:18. > :07:25.beat, so he can survey the territory. You can see him going
:07:25. > :07:28.over the water. Look at him using those wings. He is looking at home
:07:28. > :07:34.in the mountains. Thank you for bringing your birds in. We think
:07:34. > :07:39.they are awesome. What do you think over their? What an incredible
:07:39. > :07:45.creature. What do we think of the Eagle? It is really cool. In a
:07:45. > :07:49.word, it was awesome. That is good enough from me. Most breeding pairs
:07:49. > :07:52.in this country have made their homes into particular places. You
:07:52. > :07:58.can spot them on our map in the North of Ireland and in the
:07:58. > :08:03.Highlands of Scotland. If you're going to be there on holiday, keep
:08:03. > :08:08.your eyes to the skies and take a photo. We have been asking you to
:08:08. > :08:12.send in your photos of you having fun in the mountains. This is our
:08:12. > :08:18.first picture. It is from a boy from Scotland. This is claiming in
:08:18. > :08:26.France. I am loving your work. The next picture is from Lauren and
:08:26. > :08:33.Jason. They are enjoying the great outdoors in Scotland. We are hearing
:08:33. > :08:36.the mountains for the views. We have used money cannot buy. If you have a
:08:36. > :08:46.photo, perhaps you have been inspired by something you have seen
:08:46. > :08:49.on the show, then do send it in to us. Here is the e-mail address.
:08:49. > :08:54.Include your name and the name of a parent or guardian as well as a
:08:54. > :08:58.contact number so we can get hold of you. You may have noticed that our
:08:58. > :09:03.audience are still out there on their kayaks enjoying ourselves. --
:09:03. > :09:10.enjoying themselves. They will be helping me out with the challenge
:09:10. > :09:15.later. I'm going to keep my eye on Radzi. I do not like what he has got
:09:15. > :09:19.up his sleeve. We promised you wildlife, but we also promised you
:09:19. > :09:25.wild adventure and next guest has that by the bucket load. Let's see
:09:25. > :09:33.the man in action. Chris Doney is one of the world's leading freestyle
:09:33. > :09:42.mountain bike trial riders. He has British, European and world titles
:09:42. > :09:47.to his name. He started to trial rider five years old when he put his
:09:47. > :09:55.feet firmly on the pedals. Now he spends hours perfecting every
:09:55. > :10:02.trick, spin and flip. Trial riding as a test of balance and skill to
:10:02. > :10:09.the extreme, and Chris Doney is a gravity dividing -- gravity defying
:10:09. > :10:19.master of the mountains. Just look at this. Ladies and gentlemen, in
:10:19. > :10:23.the flesh, Mr Chris Doney. You have a look on your face like that is the
:10:23. > :10:28.first time you have done that. That looks pretty dangerous. Do your mum
:10:28. > :10:34.and dad know you do this for a living? Sort of. They think I am out
:10:35. > :10:40.for a leisurely ride. It is fantastic. How did you get into
:10:40. > :10:44.riding? My dad used to ride. He was a top rider and motor cycles. I
:10:44. > :10:50.started when I was five and moved across to push bikes and just stayed
:10:50. > :10:56.on them. Was it easy, making the transition from motor bikes? Yes,
:10:56. > :11:00.lots of people do that, but most people do it the other way. You can
:11:00. > :11:08.transfer a lot of the skills. easy is it to get into, where do you
:11:08. > :11:14.start? Just done any bike, they run bikes, BMX is, mountain bikes. Start
:11:14. > :11:20.with the basics. As you get Egger and stronger, you progress. Do you
:11:21. > :11:29.ever get scared? Yes, a little bit, but I do not let on. Have you ever
:11:29. > :11:34.had any big crashes? Yes, a few, broken ankles. Just practice if you
:11:34. > :11:38.want to get into it. It is all about practice. Start with the easy stuff
:11:38. > :11:46.and get the fundamental stuff learned. Then you can move onto
:11:46. > :11:56.killer stuff. You have brought lots of obstacles. Can you give us a
:11:56. > :12:05.demonstration? Yes.In the flesh, it is Chris Doney. Here we go. Just
:12:05. > :12:11.look how thin this bug is that he's coming across. Yes. Onto his back
:12:11. > :12:19.wheel. Around of applause. You can hear the squeaking of his brakes. He
:12:19. > :12:29.has such control over the bike. There is just one gear on the bike.
:12:29. > :12:33.He has lots of power in order to do this. Can you imagine trying to do
:12:33. > :12:40.this on your way to your local shops to get a loaf of bread? He is a good
:12:40. > :12:48.eight feet above the floor. Are you all right? Yes. At sorry. I will not
:12:48. > :12:57.distract you any more. It is quite high up here. Yes, onto the top of
:12:57. > :13:06.the van. Now he is up on the balance beam. It is about five inches wide.
:13:06. > :13:12.It is ten feet up. It is high.Do you want some in Courage went or.
:13:12. > :13:22.APPLAUSE He is on to the back wheel. Chris
:13:22. > :13:30.
:13:30. > :13:37.Doney, everyone next Commissioner Mark OK. -- Chris Doney, everyone.
:13:37. > :13:43.What can you teach me? I think I can teach you to bunny hop. You need to
:13:43. > :13:52.come in at walking pace, knees bent, feet level. Lean back and pull up
:13:52. > :13:58.with your knees. It is easy. That went in and straight out again. That
:13:58. > :14:08.is fine. Here we go. Just lean back and give it some welly. This bike is
:14:08. > :14:18.massive. Perfect. It probably did not look pretty. It was massive.
:14:18. > :14:18.
:14:18. > :14:23.Guys, come on. We have some guys that want to learn. Turn around and
:14:23. > :14:29.come back through again. It is not just Chris Doney with a sense of
:14:29. > :14:39.adventure. Me as well. I like to get out and about in the mountains. What
:14:39. > :15:07.
:15:07. > :15:13.you're about to witness now is my I was not all that bad. But it is
:15:13. > :15:23.not just my lack of skills. There is another problem in the UK, no
:15:23. > :15:29.snow. I need as sport that I can still do in the mountains. Where I
:15:29. > :15:39.can do tricks and still have a lot of speed. Where am I going to find
:15:39. > :15:40.
:15:40. > :15:45.that? Mountain boarding! Hang on! At just 22 years old Matt is the
:15:45. > :15:51.world freestyle mountain boarding champion. He has been riding and
:15:51. > :16:01.honing his tricks for eight years. Today he is going to put me through
:16:01. > :16:05.
:16:05. > :16:11.my paces. Here we go. You go first. OK. If I want to turn right I put
:16:11. > :16:20.the weight on my heels. To turn left, I put the weight on my toes.
:16:20. > :16:30.It is simple. He made that look easy. Here we go. It feels
:16:30. > :16:38.extremely fast already. Just keep turning. You will come to a top.
:16:38. > :16:47.Perfect. Not too bad for a first attempt. But the next time I want
:16:47. > :16:57.to be a bit more ambitious. Matt is showing me how to do a jump. That
:16:57. > :17:09.
:17:09. > :17:19.was textbook! Here we go. I am going fast! Yes! That was perfect.
:17:19. > :17:19.
:17:19. > :17:29.That was huge. Definitely.You are at the King of tricks. Show me some
:17:29. > :17:29.
:17:29. > :17:39.moves. This is how it is done. Check this out. This is the front
:17:39. > :17:45.
:17:45. > :17:53.flip. He is good! You are world champion. How did that come about?
:17:53. > :18:03.I went out to Moscow last summer in July. Mike tricks were fortunately
:18:03. > :18:04.
:18:04. > :18:09.good enough to give me first place. My grand parents are proud of me.
:18:09. > :18:17.They are great fans and like to here about the tricks. It is my
:18:17. > :18:25.turn to have a go. Carving up the slope. I seem to be getting the
:18:25. > :18:35.hang of this! But do not speak too soon. Maybe I should leave the
:18:35. > :18:36.
:18:36. > :18:41.tricks to the experts. This is all very well. But what I love about
:18:41. > :18:49.snowboarding is you're out in the mountains. And these are called
:18:49. > :18:57.mountain boards. Are we ready to go to the mountain's? I think we are.
:18:57. > :19:03.I guess we will find out. Known as a free riding this is mountain
:19:03. > :19:13.boarding at its purest. Hiking to the top, finding new lines. This is
:19:13. > :19:14.
:19:14. > :19:20.what it is all about Farr's stop --. We are pretty high. Just look at
:19:20. > :19:26.that field. I am pretty nervous. I was fined on that smoke rolling
:19:26. > :19:36.grass in the training area. But now this looks like a sheer cliff face
:19:36. > :19:43.
:19:43. > :19:50.covered in moss. You can go first. Nice wide turns. It is a different
:19:50. > :20:00.kettle of fish when you buy the one riding down there. It is really
:20:00. > :20:05.
:20:05. > :20:15.bumpy. There are rocks down here. I am going off! Into the bracken.
:20:15. > :20:20.
:20:20. > :20:30.That is huge. It is all about cleaning. Right into the poo at! It
:20:30. > :20:41.
:20:41. > :20:49.has gone into my mouse. That was ridiculous! -- my mouth. Matt is a
:20:49. > :20:59.champion at this. He is world champion. I am an absolute beginner.
:20:59. > :21:00.
:21:00. > :21:10.He is going to hit the jump. My goodness! It feels as if I'm going
:21:10. > :21:14.
:21:14. > :21:22.6000 miles an hour. Tell my mum and dad I love them! Good stuff.
:21:22. > :21:32.almost ran me over. I have got to say, thank you very much for
:21:32. > :21:36.
:21:36. > :21:42.introducing me to mountain boarding. My pleasure. One more try? Let's go.
:21:42. > :21:48.You did incredibly well to land in the one pile of poo in the hold
:21:48. > :21:56.onto it! And throughout the series we're both going to be getting out
:21:56. > :22:00.there having crazy adventures. That was an excellent start. It was
:22:00. > :22:06.immense. It was a little like snowboarding but really difficult
:22:06. > :22:12.to stop. Thankfully I had Matt to guide me through. He is a world
:22:12. > :22:17.champion. Before we meet our next guests let us take a look at them
:22:17. > :22:27.out in the wild. There are four members of the Camlough family at
:22:27. > :22:28.
:22:28. > :22:33.home in the mountains. The alpaca are one of them. They reside in the
:22:33. > :22:39.Andes and there have more than prepared for the harsh environment.
:22:39. > :22:43.They can keep a firm grip on the steep and rocky mountains. And
:22:43. > :22:48.they're thick coat helps protect them against bitterly cold mountain
:22:48. > :22:54.temperatures. It is this high quality coat that has seen them
:22:54. > :23:04.becoming domesticated all around the globe. Making them a world wide
:23:04. > :23:07.
:23:07. > :23:17.one go. I am here with some fluffy friends. The alpaca. This one is in
:23:17. > :23:18.
:23:18. > :23:26.two weeks old. Incredibly she was on her feet just one hour after she
:23:26. > :23:30.was born. She is just so cute. But I'm keeping my eye on the adults.
:23:31. > :23:38.Because they have a problem of spitting at one another to show
:23:38. > :23:43.their dominance. It is not exactly a spit, more commonly it is the
:23:43. > :23:47.acidic contents of their stomach. They have got three Chambers in
:23:47. > :23:54.their stomach to help them to extract the nutrients. So if they
:23:54. > :24:00.have been chewing on the grass all day what comes back up is quite
:24:01. > :24:05.horrible and smelly. So I hope they will be behaving themselves. There
:24:05. > :24:15.coat is incredibly soft. That is what makes them a popular choice
:24:15. > :24:17.
:24:17. > :24:23.for breeding. This one, her fleece will make two or three super soft
:24:23. > :24:31.jumpers. It is those fibres in the coat that allow them to withstand
:24:31. > :24:35.very cold temperatures. But it is not just the alpaca which have
:24:35. > :24:43.adapted, mountains around the world support be wide range of wildlife
:24:43. > :24:47.and some of them have evolved clever ways of surviving. The
:24:47. > :24:55.mountain lion and snow leopard both have referred to protect them from
:24:55. > :25:01.the cold. The Snow Leopard also has a long tail for balance. This
:25:01. > :25:09.insight does not need a jacket. It has a special protein acting like
:25:09. > :25:14.anti-freeze so that it can survive extremely low temperatures. And
:25:14. > :25:23.these make the most of the mountain air by having special blood vessels
:25:23. > :25:29.to allow them to save their energy. And this is the jumping spider of
:25:29. > :25:35.the Himalayas. It survives by hunting insects blown up the
:25:35. > :25:43.mountain by the strong wind. These East have glad that carries as much
:25:43. > :25:48.oxygen as possible. -- these keys. And here in Wales we have mountain
:25:48. > :25:58.goats and they have special feat that allow them to scale up the
:25:58. > :25:58.
:25:58. > :26:08.rocks. It never ceases to amaze me how animals adapt to cope with the
:26:08. > :26:10.
:26:10. > :26:16.environment. Talking of adaption of! It is a boiling hot sunny day!
:26:16. > :26:21.I am a bit hot. Throughout this series we are going to be looking
:26:21. > :26:29.at the wild wonder is that we have got in the UK. Things that could be
:26:29. > :26:34.lurking close to your back door. We will be uncovering some pretty
:26:34. > :26:42.freaky facts about the things that surround us every day. But which is
:26:42. > :26:52.going to be the strangest wonder of them all? We are about to find out
:26:52. > :27:01.
:27:01. > :27:07.My favourite part of the show. Get yourselves ready and prepared. I am
:27:07. > :27:13.about to explain what is about to come up. Each week we will choose
:27:13. > :27:20.one Wilde contender and there will be a head to head over three rounds.
:27:20. > :27:30.They have to convince us that there contender is top dog. Or pop insect.
:27:30. > :27:33.
:27:33. > :27:43.Are we ready? Yes, we are. Today I am fighting for the mosquito. He is
:27:43. > :27:43.
:27:43. > :27:53.pretty ingenious. I am fighting for the wasp. They have an important
:27:53. > :27:55.
:27:55. > :27:59.role to play. Without further ado time for round one. Speedie.
:27:59. > :28:09.are probably familiar with the noise of the mosquito which is a
:28:09. > :28:10.
:28:11. > :28:20.result of their wings beating so fast. The wasp, its flight speed is
:28:21. > :28:30.
:28:30. > :28:36.5.59 mph. The mosquito can fly as well. How fast?1.2 mph. At the end
:28:36. > :28:46.of that round, no doubt about it. That Wasps goes straight into the
:28:46. > :28:54.
:28:54. > :28:59.lead. Time for round two. What is the point? The wasp is anomalous
:28:59. > :29:07.for up and eat just about everything. There are master of
:29:07. > :29:11.pest controllers. There would take on a flight or Caterpillar. And
:29:11. > :29:18.they do not even bother us until the end of the sum up when their
:29:18. > :29:22.other food sources are drying up. There are billions of mosquitoes. A
:29:22. > :29:28.fantastic resource for all kinds of animals. Amphibians and birds and
:29:28. > :29:38.spiders. And they also help to pollinate some plants. Like the
:29:38. > :29:48.orchid. Well Tim came out swinging. But mosquito is now level-pegging.
:29:48. > :29:49.
:29:49. > :29:56.We're going into the deciding round. The knockout round. Let me tell you
:29:56. > :30:00.something. I am going to play like Super Sense card. The mosquito has
:30:00. > :30:05.super sensitive hairs on its antenna and they detect tiny
:30:05. > :30:15.changes in the environment. And they can smell human chemicals to
:30:15. > :30:16.
:30:16. > :30:20.suck out your blood. The wasp, it's not got card is that they have
:30:20. > :30:28.mastered designers. World-class architects. They grouped together
:30:28. > :30:33.to build their own home. They bite off pieces of wood and duet with
:30:33. > :30:43.their survival. They built it up until it is strong enough to
:30:43. > :31:12.
:31:12. > :31:18.again. Stay tuned to see who wins that one. In the meantime, walk this
:31:18. > :31:23.way. If you're out and about and you see any wild wonders when you're out
:31:23. > :31:28.and about, see if you can snap a photograph. If you manage to get a
:31:29. > :31:34.good while Clive Sharp, send it into us this address. Send it to us with
:31:34. > :31:40.your name, and the name of a parent or guardian and the phone number. It
:31:41. > :31:46.might appear on the show next week. Send them in. I am feeling fine.
:31:46. > :31:56.Whatever. We are about to speak to him and he needs no encouragement
:31:56. > :31:56.
:31:56. > :32:01.whatsoever to get out there with his camera. Have a look at this. My name
:32:01. > :32:06.is Josh, I am 15 years old and I love British wildlife. What I really
:32:06. > :32:11.love is looking for the secret side of nature. I have been taking photos
:32:11. > :32:15.for the last five years and I am going to share my top tips for
:32:15. > :32:23.capturing wildlife in a completely different way. This is our back
:32:23. > :32:29.garden. It is no more of a mini nature reserve. I have been allowed
:32:29. > :32:36.to have this part of the garden by my family. We have frogs, newts,
:32:36. > :32:41.toads, dragonfly larvae. You can hear buzzing in the summer, which is
:32:41. > :32:46.nice. Taking good photographs is about trying to look at the world in
:32:46. > :32:51.a different way. One of my favourite things to do is to get more
:32:51. > :32:57.inventive using household items. I cannot afford underwater housings so
:32:58. > :33:03.I have just used this fish tank. I put my camera inside and load it
:33:03. > :33:08.into the pond so it takes underwater shots. You do not need expensive
:33:08. > :33:14.equipment. This is my camera. You can pop this in your pocket and take
:33:14. > :33:21.it anywhere. There is one animal that comes here that is really
:33:21. > :33:26.active at night and tonight I will try and film it. This is actually my
:33:26. > :33:31.Playhouse. I take it over when I got more into photography. We have this
:33:31. > :33:38.material here so we are invisible to wildlife. I will pick this camera
:33:38. > :33:44.trap on the fork. They passed this week, the foxes. We will see if we
:33:44. > :33:54.can get one when it walks through. I would retreat back to the hide and
:33:54. > :33:59.Seek we can get some views of foxes. With wildlife, you can never really
:33:59. > :34:03.count on them to be there, so you have just got to wait and see. When
:34:04. > :34:10.you see a fox, you forget about the hours of waiting because you get the
:34:10. > :34:17.privilege of seeing the habits of an individual. Another tip, when you're
:34:17. > :34:23.waiting for things, if you close your eyes, it makes you more
:34:23. > :34:33.sensitive to sign. That is a really good way of watching foxes.
:34:33. > :34:38.
:34:38. > :34:42.Sometimes you cannot actually see them. That is really great. We have
:34:42. > :34:48.got a little bit of film. I think it might have gone round to the camera
:34:48. > :34:53.trap, so we will get some nice close-ups maybe, off his face. It is
:34:53. > :34:56.amazing what you can capture with patience and dedication. It was
:34:56. > :35:05.really successful and I got some nice film of the fox. I will go back
:35:06. > :35:10.indoors now. He is here. It is Josh. Nice to meet you. We are surrounded
:35:10. > :35:17.by some of your photography. Look at this funny fellow, a little toad.
:35:17. > :35:26.That is so cool. My favourite, it is an owl. It is a barn owl,
:35:26. > :35:29.obviously? Now, it is actually an eagle owl. This one was entered into
:35:29. > :35:34.wildlife photographer of the year award and you got a special
:35:35. > :35:40.commendation for it. Can you tell us about it. This photograph was taken
:35:40. > :35:44.in my garden. I got bored with taking pictures of dragonfly is so I
:35:44. > :35:53.put my arm over the pond and this female mosquito came and took some
:35:53. > :35:58.of my blood. What inspired you to start taking photographs? My dad
:35:58. > :36:03.bought me a camera so I could take pictures. I have got to this level
:36:03. > :36:07.since then. Can you give us any top tips if anybody at home wants to
:36:07. > :36:14.take wildlife photographs? Get to know your subject and learn their
:36:14. > :36:18.behaviour. Be patient. It will not always happen first time. It took me
:36:18. > :36:25.five years to get to the sort of photos. I'm sure that everyone at
:36:25. > :36:28.home can take pictures like this. top tip will be checking that your
:36:28. > :36:34.fish tank is completely waterproof before you put your camera in the
:36:35. > :36:44.water! What phenomenal pictures. Josh is only 15 years old. He is
:36:45. > :36:45.
:36:45. > :36:49.such a talent. If Josh has you feeling creative, go to our website.
:36:49. > :36:54.You can download Josh's top photography tips. There are lots of
:36:54. > :36:56.photographs that we did not have time to show you in the show. If you
:36:56. > :37:02.date -- if you do take a photograph, make sure you e-mail it
:37:02. > :37:08.to us. Include your name and the name of a parent or guardian. What
:37:08. > :37:16.did you think of the pictures? Amazing. I am totally inspired.
:37:16. > :37:26.How about you. Awesome, and believable. I want to include all of
:37:26. > :37:26.
:37:27. > :37:33.you. Are we feeling inspired? From these guys being inspired, to
:37:33. > :37:40.something completely inspirational, check this out. Downhill mountain
:37:40. > :37:43.biking requires nerves of steel, bravery and fitness. Luckily, Phil
:37:43. > :37:48.Hall has all of these and bucketloads. He has found the
:37:48. > :37:57.perfect waif that she has found the perfect way to fit his need for
:37:57. > :38:04.speed. He launches himself down mountain tracks, traversing the
:38:04. > :38:10.Touraine and reaching speeds of up to 30 mph. It is an adrenaline
:38:10. > :38:17.fuelled sport. Since discovering it, Phil has never looked back. Just
:38:17. > :38:27.downhill. He is a dating downhill demon. We can now welcome the man
:38:27. > :38:27.
:38:27. > :38:34.himself to the show. Phil Hall, everyone. How great does this look?
:38:35. > :38:41.Easy, my goodness. Welcome to the show. First of all, how much do you
:38:41. > :38:46.want to have a go at that? How did this become your chosen sport.
:38:46. > :38:52.a motor cycle accident a few years ago and ended up in a wheelchair. I
:38:52. > :38:56.still wanted some adrenaline in a sport. Where did you find it?I
:38:56. > :39:01.discovered gravity biking in the States. I saw poster and find out
:39:01. > :39:06.where to go to try the vividly. I spent a week in the States trying
:39:06. > :39:12.the activity and I loved it. I tried to buy a bike on the way home but
:39:12. > :39:15.they would not sell one to me. So I came back to the UK and I started
:39:15. > :39:22.the Rough Riderz club. There are not lots of these bikes in the UK,
:39:22. > :39:27.either? Now, but hopefully we will expand it to different parts of the
:39:27. > :39:31.UK. Wicked. Can anyone have a go at this? Yes, it is suitable for most
:39:31. > :39:37.disabilities, because it was designed for wheelchair users
:39:37. > :39:41.initially. There are no paddles and it is a crash box for your feet. It
:39:41. > :39:47.is suitable for lots of people with disabilities as long as they have
:39:47. > :39:52.upperbody strength, and able-bodied people can have a go as well.
:39:52. > :39:56.is individual suspension and this makes? Yes, and there are shock
:39:56. > :40:02.absorbers front-end year. There is independent suspension on all four
:40:02. > :40:06.wheels. You have hydraulic brakes like a normal mountain bike. Where
:40:06. > :40:11.can I go and do this? The club offers taster days in the Lake
:40:11. > :40:17.District. We are trying to expand across the UK so that people can try
:40:17. > :40:22.it close to them. I will try and get to one of those taster days. Thank
:40:23. > :40:27.you. Fantastic stuff. Now from flying down the mountains to soaring
:40:27. > :40:32.high above them? This is one animal that has a head
:40:32. > :40:37.for heights, the vulture. They spend their days cruising, hunting for
:40:37. > :40:46.their next meal. From mountains to ban in Savannah is, the scavengers
:40:46. > :40:50.are not fussy about what he. -- about what they have two lead. Using
:40:50. > :40:58.the powerful I said, the search ad death, feeding on nothing but the
:40:58. > :41:08.decaying flesh of animals. Once a meal is found, vultures are highly
:41:08. > :41:09.
:41:09. > :41:13.social, so, the crowds are never far behind. Yes, and we are welcoming
:41:13. > :41:19.back Graham, who has brought along some vultures to meet us. Down
:41:19. > :41:23.here, it is a lovely rack of ribs, the perfect way to entice them in. I
:41:23. > :41:26.will stand back a little bit, because with excited vultures
:41:27. > :41:34.around, they have big beaks and talents, so I will hide behind
:41:34. > :41:41.Graham. This is a black vulture. He is an American bird. Then we have a
:41:41. > :41:46.hooded vulture. These are more of surface feeding vultures. The big
:41:46. > :41:51.eye, he can get really stuck in. He is using his dominance. You will
:41:51. > :41:57.notice that his wings are right to make himself look bigger. Is there a
:41:57. > :42:02.pecking order among these guys? Yes, the big guys in charge. Your little
:42:02. > :42:08.ones are always watching him. They are feeding and watching him.
:42:09. > :42:13.they always eat the leftovers, the rotten meat lying around? Yes, they
:42:13. > :42:18.are the world's natural garbage disposal. They are so important to
:42:18. > :42:23.the environment. How do they cope with the bacteria that must be in
:42:23. > :42:28.the dead animals? They have amazing assets, they have a crop, which is
:42:28. > :42:33.like a bag at the base of the neck, and they dissolve it all. We even
:42:34. > :42:39.have vultures that will eat the bones. They will eat the entrails.
:42:39. > :42:45.They will even eat deep poo of the animal? Breath freshener is all
:42:45. > :42:51.around after that. You might want to watch camera, it looks a little bit
:42:51. > :42:59.like a dead rabbit. They might for you. Do they use their beaks are
:42:59. > :43:03.their talents as well. They use their beak to hold that time. --
:43:03. > :43:10.they use their feet to hold it down, but it is the beak that does all of
:43:10. > :43:14.the work. Their heads do not have many feathers on them? They do not
:43:14. > :43:20.want to get that marked up. They are really clean animals. As soon as
:43:20. > :43:25.they have fed, they dive in and wash it all off. Like the eagle, they
:43:25. > :43:31.love the mountains and they saw a really high? Incredibly high. They
:43:31. > :43:36.have been recorded at 37,000 feet. That is about the height you go on
:43:36. > :43:42.your holidays in an aeroplane. is because they have an incredible
:43:42. > :43:47.wingspan? Yes, this bird has a eight feet wingspan. You can see that
:43:47. > :43:54.size. That is about the same as 212-year-old standing on top of each
:43:54. > :43:59.other. It is enormous. They can get some serious height and they are
:43:59. > :44:04.happy in the mountains. Yes, they ride the thermals and are looking on
:44:04. > :44:13.the ground for a like this. Thank you very much for bringing them in.
:44:13. > :44:19.What do you make of the vultures? Arson. To see vultures taking food
:44:19. > :44:25.from a carcass, it is amazing. did you think? Awesome,
:44:25. > :44:33.unbelievable. It is amazing. Really cool. Disgusting. Just really
:44:33. > :44:40.disgusting. We have polarised opinion. Disgusting, cool. Maybe you
:44:40. > :44:48.can combine the two words. I did not realise how much vultures do for the
:44:48. > :44:53.environment. I am going to give them a break. Tim and now may have not
:44:53. > :45:03.got their hands dirty. I beg your pardon. I held the ball of grain
:45:03. > :45:15.
:45:15. > :45:21.Mountains are spectacular all over the world. Formed lechery through
:45:21. > :45:29.ground breaking displays. Some through a rise in the it earth's
:45:29. > :45:39.crust and others explode to the surface. Molten rock forced out in
:45:39. > :45:51.
:45:51. > :45:56.an impressive display. The volcano. As it cools down mountains are form.
:45:56. > :46:03.You can probably see behind me the gorgeous Welsh mountains, those are
:46:03. > :46:09.the product of volcanic activity. That has inspired these crazy
:46:09. > :46:19.creations. You have got two minutes to make that model everything you
:46:19. > :46:20.
:46:20. > :46:25.need. Just to explain exactly what this is. It is a plastic bottle. It
:46:25. > :46:32.becomes wrapped with tinfoil. And becomes wrapped with tinfoil. And
:46:32. > :46:39.then modelling play goes on top. We have got some dinosaurs added. We
:46:39. > :46:48.have got broccoli to act as the trees. That gives you a clue what
:46:48. > :46:52.to expect. If you want to make one then go to the website. You can
:46:52. > :47:00.search for a crazy creations which gives you all the instructions that
:47:00. > :47:08.gives you all the instructions that you need. I have an unfair
:47:08. > :47:16.advantage because I have actually been to a volcano. There is no
:47:16. > :47:21.prize. But the loser gets a forfeit. I have got some friends out on the
:47:21. > :47:31.river. They are ready for at the Louisa Reeve to run across those
:47:31. > :47:34.
:47:34. > :47:44.kayaks. -- the loser. The water is for Dick Lily Cole! -- particularly
:47:44. > :47:45.
:47:45. > :47:55.cold. At some stage you have to put the vinegar in to get the volcanic
:47:55. > :48:01.
:48:01. > :48:11.explosion. That is the eruption of! Tim, absolutely nothing. You did
:48:11. > :48:15.
:48:16. > :48:24.not put that the baking soda in. Too little, too late. Go and
:48:24. > :48:32.receive your for that. Naomi is the winner. Let us meet our own wild
:48:32. > :48:37.adventurers. They are on their own wild adventure at a very great
:48:37. > :48:45.wild adventure at a very great height. The Lake District is not
:48:45. > :48:53.just famous for its water, it also has stunning vertical landscapes.
:48:53. > :48:58.Making it a great place to go wild. 11 year-old Grace is a keen climber
:48:58. > :49:03.and a regular visitor to her local indoor climbing walls. But today
:49:03. > :49:13.she is heading for the hills to get a taste of climbing in the great
:49:13. > :49:15.
:49:15. > :49:25.outdoors. And she has brought some friends along. I do not like rats.
:49:25. > :49:29.
:49:29. > :49:39.I do not like sharks. I do not like fighting with my family. I do not
:49:39. > :49:42.
:49:42. > :49:52.like sharks. I do not like spiders. The goal is to reach the summit.
:49:52. > :49:53.
:49:53. > :49:58.Over 600 metres, the highest points in England are among them. So there
:49:58. > :50:03.being kitted out with some safety gear. This will not be an average
:50:03. > :50:10.walk in the hills. The girls have come to this slate mine to try a
:50:10. > :50:20.special climbing course. This is where it begins. You have bought
:50:20. > :50:26.
:50:26. > :50:34.all your friends along. This is an iron road over at the mountains.
:50:34. > :50:42.Each changeover with just one hand. When you come to the junction, use
:50:42. > :50:51.one hand, take off and swap over the clips. And with the same hand
:50:51. > :50:57.carry on with the next one. Are you going to give it a go? Brilliant.
:50:57. > :51:04.think it will be a really good experience but I'm still nervous.
:51:04. > :51:14.am excited but nervous at the same time. Just seeing how far down it
:51:14. > :51:22.
:51:22. > :51:30.is. Brilliant. It is so it strange how hi 8 you are and how nervous
:51:30. > :51:36.you are when you get into it. is a system of cables and ladders
:51:36. > :51:44.allowing complete beginners to take on some serious mountaineering. It
:51:44. > :51:53.is as safe way to climb but that does not stop it being scary.
:51:53. > :51:59.made it! So far so good. As the girls continued up the mountain the
:51:59. > :52:04.rain clouds begin to close in. done. You have got past the first
:52:04. > :52:13.section. We have some treats in the next section, you are a little bit
:52:13. > :52:19.more exposed. Are you ready to go? Excellent. Joe is not kidding about
:52:19. > :52:29.it being a scary. The girls have to cross an overhanging rock face in
:52:29. > :52:31.
:52:32. > :52:41.the driving rain. This is seriously wild. But the next challenge is
:52:42. > :52:42.
:52:42. > :52:51.even more extreme. A wire bridge strung over 100 metres of thin air.
:52:51. > :53:00.I am bouncing up! It would be bad enough in the sunshine but in
:53:00. > :53:08.behind wind this takes real courage. I am going to keep screaming, I
:53:08. > :53:13.know I am. The girls have been climbing for a gruelling three
:53:13. > :53:23.hours but they still have one obstacle laughed. A massive cargo
:53:23. > :53:24.
:53:24. > :53:32.net. By now the rain is practically horizontal. -- obstacle left. These
:53:32. > :53:36.girls deserve some serious respect. In spite of the appalling weather
:53:36. > :53:43.the Super Star team has made it all the way to the top of the mountain.
:53:43. > :53:49.Even if most of the filming kier has not. The camera has stopped
:53:50. > :53:59.working, the conditions are so bad. There may not be much of a view
:53:59. > :54:04.today but the achievement is ethic. It was really exciting. It is
:54:04. > :54:08.exciting and a thrilling experience. If I could come again at I probably
:54:08. > :54:18.would. It is a really good experience with a lot of
:54:18. > :54:23.
:54:23. > :54:30.challengers. That was ridiculously high up and in a horrible weather.
:54:30. > :54:40.Massive respect. I wonder if Tim is holding his nerve, running across
:54:40. > :54:41.
:54:41. > :54:51.those kayaks. You have got to do it because you're volcano was rubbish.
:54:51. > :55:10.
:55:10. > :55:15.In he goes! It is freezing! I am freezing! I am so glad that I was
:55:15. > :55:25.the winner. If you want to have a go at making that volcano the
:55:25. > :55:26.
:55:26. > :55:32.instructions are on the website. Search for crazy creations. And
:55:32. > :55:39.then when you have made your masterpiece send us in a photograph.
:55:39. > :55:49.We will try to show some on the show next week. We have received
:55:49. > :55:51.
:55:51. > :55:58.some of your comments. Telling us about Europe wild adventures.
:55:58. > :56:05.Another says, I like climbing in the Lake District. It is beautiful.
:56:05. > :56:11.And we have one photograph that has been sent in. In the mountains.
:56:11. > :56:18.Well done. And if you have had an adventure then we want to see it.
:56:18. > :56:26.Next week we're going to be in the Forest. Here he comes. A round of
:56:26. > :56:36.applause for Jim. Next week we're in the forest and if you have had a
:56:36. > :56:37.
:56:37. > :56:44.Forest adventure please send us in a photograph. We're coming to the
:56:44. > :56:54.end of the show. But we are coming back! Thank you to everyone who
:56:54. > :56:56.
:56:56. > :57:04.helped us out in Snowdonia. We have had a great time. Thank you to
:57:05. > :57:10.mountain bike legend Chris Doney. And Rough Rider fill halls. And of
:57:10. > :57:17.course to our photographer, Josh. And our feathered and fluffy
:57:17. > :57:22.friends. And of course to the audience. Do you keep your
