The Adventurers Guide To Britain

In the first episode of the series Gethin and Charlotte journey above and below Britain's oldest national park, The Peak District, better to understand the forces that have shaped its amazing landscape. On day one of their two-day adventure in the district described as nature's adventure playground, Gethin takes to the skies in a microlight, soaring over the radically different landscapes at 2,000 ft, witnessing the staggering effect the ages have had on its dramatic terrain.

In the second episode of the series, Gethin Jones and Charlotte Uhlenbroek head to North Yorkshire to discover the secret treasures along its famous coastline. The area is renowned for its picturesque villages and towns but on the stretches of rugged shoreline in between, there are adventures to be had. The coastline is made up of a crumbling rock that once formed an ancient seabed, which over the years has fallen away to reveal secrets from the time of the dinosaurs, 180 million years ago, making it the perfect place to go hunting for fossils.

In the third episode of the series, Gethin Jones and Charlotte Uhlenbroek head to the Lake District. Though it’s the busiest week of the tourist year, their mission is to get away from the crowds and find those hidden gems that most visitors overlook. On day one, Gethin is joined by world champion fly fisherman and wilderness fishing pioneer, Jeremy Lucas, and the pair set off to the River Eden, one of Europe’s cleanest rivers, to fish for wild brown trout.

In the fourth episode of the series Gethin Jones and Charlotte Uhlenbroek head to the North Pennines in search of adventure and to unearth adrenaline gold. Upper Teesdale is one of Britain’s least visited beauty spots but its geology makes for some truly spectacular waterfalls. On day one Charlotte sets off up river from High Force, England’s biggest waterfall to Cauldron Snout which lays claim to being England's longest waterfall.

In the fifth episode of the series Gethin Jones and Charlotte Uhlenbroek explore the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, rich with wildlife, shipwrecks and smugglers’ caves. The adventurers are determined to explore as much of the rugged coastline as they can, so on day one they begin their adventure with a hunt for creatures of the deep.

In the sixth and final episode of the series Gethin Jones and Charlotte Uhlenbroek journey to wild Exmoor to reveal a side of the region only a few get to see. On day one Gethin heads to Dunster Woods to push his strength and endurance to the limit by trying his hand at tree climbing. Although the adventure sport is already big in America, Dunster Wood is one of the few places in the UK you can give it a go. With the help of experienced climber, Roland Heming, Gethin gets to grips with the equipment and technique. Before he knows it he’s 30ft off the ground but he then faces the challenge of reaching the very end of one of the oak tree’s branches.
