Countryside Cycling
Joe Crowley and Sammi Kinghorn are in the Lake District finding out how cycling is still one of the top outdoor pursuits in the UK and how electric bikes are opening up the countryside like never before.
Joe joins a group of electric bike riders called the Electric Cranks, who have all suffered from heart attacks, leading to them being fitted with life-saving devices called LVADS. It wasn't until the recent boom in electric bikes that this group could leave the house, let alone go for a ride across the country. As the miles rack up on their journey, the group tackle a 1,300-foot climb to the Tan Hill Inn, the highest pub in Britain.
Sammi meets Dom Ferris, founder of Trash Free Trails, an organisation at the forefront of combating litter and plastic pollution in the UK's outdoor spaces. Joining a trail clean, Sammi speaks to local ambassadors Lauren and Chloe, and other Trash Free Trails volunteers, to hear why they feel it is so important to care for this part of the natural environment. Meanwhile, Adam Henson has a close shave as he talks to farmers taking part in a sheep-shearing competition called the Golden Shears.
Tom Heap explores free-running snares, which are used to trap foxes, and looks at what impact a ban could have on farming, game shooting and the protection of vulnerable species.
