:03:51. > :03:54.and he has not come forward. I think he has crossed the line and it is

:05:42. > :05:54.This is the place where people come to remember them.
:05:55. > :06:00.For Claire too, who has her mum and sister buried here, there is a sense

:07:48. > :07:50.An off`duty paramedic was able to give immediate assistance to

:08:06. > :08:09.a huge hand came out of the sky and picked us up, we would be terrified
:08:10. > :08:13.and we would be kicking and fighting and all the rest of it.
:08:14. > :08:16.I must have seen hundreds if not thousands of adders `nd I
:08:17. > :08:22.400,000 people visit Dalby Forest every year.
:08:23. > :08:27.Yesterday's adder attack hasn't kept people away.
:08:28. > :08:30.I know they are in the forest because we bike
:08:31. > :08:33.in the forest, but we wouldn't go anywhere near them because they are
:08:34. > :08:39.If you see a snake, no matter what sort of snake, you wouldn't exactly
:08:40. > :09:03.Severe or multiple bites have to be treated with antivenom medication
:09:04. > :09:09.Stay with us, plenty still to come before seven o'clock.
:09:10. > :09:11.Yes, we meet somebody who puts our tandem experience into perspective.
:09:12. > :09:14.A Leeds cyclist has ridden his bike not just all over

:12:04. > :12:08.Bradford Bulls were our last team to do it 11 years ago.
:12:09. > :12:11.But this weekend we go into the semi`finals with two teams
:12:12. > :12:14.who have a chance of making it to the final at Wembley.
:12:15. > :12:20.One of these will be a great story, if Castleford can do it. Thdy

:12:26. > :12:29.are just one way of passing on the passion and the children here are
:12:30. > :12:34.keen on their team's chances of getting to Wembley. It will be great
:12:35. > :12:41.to win the challenge cup, if we could win it. We want to win, we've
:12:42. > :12:47.got to just really play our hearts out. Castleford Tigers have
:12:48. > :12:52.surpassed all expectations this season. The highlights, amidst many
:12:53. > :12:54.highs, was their challenge cup quarterfinal win over the holders,
:12:55. > :12:59.Wigan. The small rugby leagte town Wigan. The small rugby league town
:13:00. > :13:03.was back and beating the big boys. Clubs like Castleford need to be
:13:04. > :13:07.strong for rugby league. It is not a big city but it is a pretty fervent

:13:35. > :13:35.there is such a big game and it would be disrespectful, I rdckon, to
:13:36. > :13:40.would be disrespectful, I reckon, to talk about that. We will show

:14:04. > :14:07.disappointment was two years ago against this weekend's opposition,
:14:08. > :14:09.Warrington. It hasn't been ` great competition for us, but hopefully
:14:10. > :14:17.competition for us, but hopdfully that can change. We can sit and well
:14:18. > :14:19.on it, we can sit and worry about it and be concerned with it, or we can
:14:20. > :14:23.get on with it, roll our sleeves up get on with it, roll our sldeves up
:14:24. > :14:27.and give it our best shot. That is what we intend to do. So, the Leeds
:14:28. > :14:30.Rhinos believe they have wh`t it takes to be at Wembley but it is
:14:31. > :14:38.hard not to think this could be the year of the Tiger. And if it was, it
:14:39. > :14:41.would be one of the best stories in sport.
