1:24:33 > 1:24:35Greetings, adventurers.
1:24:35 > 1:24:40I am William Whiskerson, the famous mouse explorer!
1:24:41 > 1:24:43William is on a hill.
1:24:43 > 1:24:48He can see stone walls, trees and lots of sheep.
1:24:48 > 1:24:52But which part of the United Kingdom is he in today?
1:24:52 > 1:24:55Cheesephone, reveal my location!
1:25:01 > 1:25:05The Cheesephone shows William where he is on a map of the world.
1:25:08 > 1:25:11'Hello William, today you're in Yorkshire,
1:25:11 > 1:25:13'in the north of England.'
1:25:14 > 1:25:19Wow! What a beautiful place Yorkshire is.
1:25:19 > 1:25:23Oh! I've got a message coming through on my Cheesephone.
1:25:23 > 1:25:29Hello, William. My name's Emily! Let's go on a cave adventure.
1:25:29 > 1:25:32That sounds like an amazing adventure!
1:25:32 > 1:25:35Lock the location, Cheesephone.
1:25:36 > 1:25:40The map shows William where to meet Emily.
1:25:42 > 1:25:44Explorers away!
1:25:47 > 1:25:50Along the way to meet his new friend,
1:25:50 > 1:25:53William passes lots of hills...
1:25:53 > 1:25:55..and valleys.
1:25:59 > 1:26:02- Pleased to squeak you, Emily! - Pleased to squeak you too.
1:26:02 > 1:26:05- Hee-hee!- This is my friend Tom.
1:26:05 > 1:26:07- Hello, William.- Ah, Tom!
1:26:07 > 1:26:10We're all going on a cave adventure!
1:26:10 > 1:26:12What have you got on your heads?
1:26:12 > 1:26:15These are special helmets, called hard hats.
1:26:15 > 1:26:17We wear them in the cave to protect our heads.
1:26:17 > 1:26:20Ah! Have you got one for me?
1:26:21 > 1:26:22HE LAUGHS
1:26:25 > 1:26:27Ha ha!
1:26:27 > 1:26:29BOTH: Explorers away!
1:26:29 > 1:26:35The Cheesphone map shows William's journey through the Cave.
1:26:37 > 1:26:40As they begin their cave adventure,
1:26:40 > 1:26:43the explorers travel deep underground.
1:26:44 > 1:26:48- Wow!- Wow.- Yeah!
1:26:49 > 1:26:51Look at all these rocks.
1:26:51 > 1:26:55The caves are made of a rock called limestone.
1:26:56 > 1:27:00There is water flowing through the tunnels of the caves
1:27:00 > 1:27:03from underground rivers and streams.
1:27:03 > 1:27:06The water helps to carve out different shapes
1:27:06 > 1:27:09in the rocks as it flows through the caves.
1:27:13 > 1:27:15Do you know the wetness that you feel on the rocks?
1:27:15 > 1:27:18- Yeah!- That's the water.
1:27:18 > 1:27:19I see!
1:27:20 > 1:27:23The cave William and Emily are visiting was made
1:27:23 > 1:27:29when water flowed into holes in the rock, creating a large space inside.
1:27:29 > 1:27:31WATER FALLS
1:27:31 > 1:27:33What's that noise?
1:27:33 > 1:27:37The noise is some water coming down from the waterfall.
1:27:37 > 1:27:41Oh! A waterfall!
1:27:41 > 1:27:43And here is the waterfall.
1:27:43 > 1:27:44Wow!
1:27:46 > 1:27:47That's amazing!
1:27:49 > 1:27:51Cool!
1:27:52 > 1:27:57Emily shows William how the water from the waterfall
1:27:57 > 1:27:58has shaped the rocks.
1:28:01 > 1:28:04The explorers travel further into the cave.
1:28:06 > 1:28:08What's this, Tom?
1:28:08 > 1:28:10This, William, is a Gower pool.
1:28:10 > 1:28:12What's a Gower pool?
1:28:12 > 1:28:15Gower pools are puddles that are made
1:28:15 > 1:28:17when water collects in the rocks.
1:28:19 > 1:28:23They come in all shapes and sizes.
1:28:23 > 1:28:24Wow!
1:28:24 > 1:28:25Ha!
1:28:25 > 1:28:27HE LAUGHS
1:28:27 > 1:28:30There are all sorts of different shaped rocks in the cave.
1:28:32 > 1:28:35They're called rock formations.
1:28:37 > 1:28:40A Gower pool is just one kind of rock formation.
1:28:43 > 1:28:46Actually, William, this would be a great pool for you!
1:28:46 > 1:28:51You're right. And look, there's even a diving board!
1:28:51 > 1:28:52HE LAUGHS
1:28:54 > 1:28:56Bit cold for a swim.
1:29:00 > 1:29:04- Emily!- Yeah? - Look at all the different shapes!
1:29:04 > 1:29:07And colours. Ha!
1:29:07 > 1:29:11Them ones look like little stones, don't they, covered in sand.
1:29:11 > 1:29:14They do, don't they?
1:29:14 > 1:29:17Yes. I like that one!
1:29:17 > 1:29:19That's a really big one, isn't it?
1:29:19 > 1:29:22- That one is bigger. - Yeah! You're right!
1:29:22 > 1:29:23Ha!
1:29:23 > 1:29:25Something just fell on my whiskers!
1:29:25 > 1:29:27I know what that was!
1:29:27 > 1:29:30- What was it?- A drop of water.
1:29:30 > 1:29:32Yeah, I think you're right!
1:29:32 > 1:29:33HE LAUGHS
1:29:34 > 1:29:36Oh, look. What are they?
1:29:36 > 1:29:37- Them?- Yeah!
1:29:37 > 1:29:38Witch's fingers.
1:29:38 > 1:29:42- Witch's fingers!- Yeah.
1:29:42 > 1:29:44That makes me scared!
1:29:45 > 1:29:48I've got you, so you won't be able to be scared.
1:29:48 > 1:29:50- You're looking after me, aren't you?- Yeah.
1:29:50 > 1:29:51HE GIGGLES
1:29:54 > 1:29:59- Look, it says "Witch's Fingers" up there!- Yeah!
1:29:59 > 1:30:02In the cave, there are other rock formations,
1:30:02 > 1:30:04with lots of funny names.
1:30:04 > 1:30:06Like "the judge's head".
1:30:06 > 1:30:08Can you guess what this one is?
1:30:08 > 1:30:10It's called "the budgie".
1:30:11 > 1:30:14I like the "Witch's Fingers" best.
1:30:14 > 1:30:16They look slimy, don't they?
1:30:16 > 1:30:19They do look a bit slimy, those fingers, don't they?
1:30:19 > 1:30:20Yeah.
1:30:20 > 1:30:24While looking at the formations,
1:30:24 > 1:30:26Emily points out the different colours of the rocks.
1:30:26 > 1:30:30When I light the torch, it can see some brown.
1:30:30 > 1:30:33And it can see some light brown.
1:30:33 > 1:30:36- What colour's that?- Black!
1:30:36 > 1:30:37Ah!
1:30:37 > 1:30:40It gets very black deep inside the cave.
1:30:40 > 1:30:42HE LAUGHS
1:30:43 > 1:30:48The explorers reach the centre of the cave.
1:30:48 > 1:30:53This part of the cave is known as the cavern.
1:30:53 > 1:30:54- Emily?- Yeah?
1:30:54 > 1:30:58What are those rocks hanging down called?
1:30:58 > 1:31:02- Stalactites!- Oh! Wow!
1:31:02 > 1:31:04- Like socks!- Yeah.
1:31:04 > 1:31:06- They're not stalac-socks?- No.
1:31:06 > 1:31:08- They're stalactites.- Yeah.
1:31:08 > 1:31:12Stalactites are formed by water dripping through
1:31:12 > 1:31:15the limestone in the cave roof.
1:31:15 > 1:31:20As each drip falls, it leaves tiny pieces of rock behind.
1:31:20 > 1:31:22These stick to one another,
1:31:22 > 1:31:28and over hundreds of years, grow into long, spiky stalactites.
1:31:28 > 1:31:31In the cavern, there are lots of thin stalactites,
1:31:31 > 1:31:34called straw stalactites.
1:31:34 > 1:31:36They look a bit like spaghetti!
1:31:37 > 1:31:41- What a funny place this is!- Yeah.
1:31:41 > 1:31:45Sometimes, rocks also build up on the cave floor.
1:31:45 > 1:31:50They grow into rock formations called stalagmites.
1:31:50 > 1:31:53These form very slowly.
1:31:53 > 1:31:59They grow just one centimetre in height every 200 years!
1:31:59 > 1:32:02- Emily?- Yeah?- Shall we go and see some more things?
1:32:02 > 1:32:06- Yeah!- Come on then! BOTH: Explorers away!
1:32:08 > 1:32:09What's that down there?
1:32:09 > 1:32:12It's called "the crazy pavement".
1:32:12 > 1:32:15- Crazy pavement!- Yeah.
1:32:15 > 1:32:16HE LAUGHS
1:32:16 > 1:32:19- It is a funny name! - It is a very funny name!
1:32:21 > 1:32:22WATER DRIPS
1:32:26 > 1:32:30Can you see the witch's face up there,
1:32:30 > 1:32:33with the nose and chin and her hair?
1:32:33 > 1:32:36Wow!
1:32:37 > 1:32:41Emily, that was a brilliant adventure!
1:32:41 > 1:32:47It was like being down a giant mouse hole, except for the drips. Hee-hee!
1:32:47 > 1:32:51- William?- Yeah?- You can keep that hat as a going away present.
1:32:51 > 1:32:53Oh, thank you!
1:32:53 > 1:32:56Then we can go on a cave adventure another day.
1:32:56 > 1:33:01BOTH: Explorers away!
1:33:01 > 1:33:04Can you remember where William went today?
1:33:05 > 1:33:09William visited his friend Emily in a cave in Yorkshire.
1:33:09 > 1:33:13Can you remember what he wore to protect his head?
1:33:13 > 1:33:16He wore a special helmet called a hard hat.
1:33:18 > 1:33:21On his journey through the cave, he saw how the rock
1:33:21 > 1:33:23was formed into different shapes.
1:33:24 > 1:33:27William saw stalactites...
1:33:27 > 1:33:30and stalagmites.
1:33:30 > 1:33:34And even something that looked like a witch's face!
1:33:34 > 1:33:38Time to fly, explorers. We're off on another adventure!
1:33:41 > 1:33:43See you soon, William!
