Naomi with a group of children at a Deadly Day Out
We have a special show for you this Saturday, dedicated to getting active and closer to nature.
Steve will give you his top tips for spotting wildlife, while Naomi will head high into the treetops to do a highwire course and give you her tips on getting into adventure sports.
Steve and Naomi have been showing of their skills at the Deadly Days Out roadshows and Naomi will be putting her bushcraft skills to the test by learning how to make fire. We'll also set a group of children the amazing challenge of going gorge scrambling.
It's another action packed start to your weekend, make sure you don't miss it - 9am on Saturday on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ 2 and the C³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Channel.
Deadly Dash 2
So have any of you been fast enough to complete Deadly Dash 2? And do you have any tips to share? If you've not completed it, which bit are you stuck on?
The polar bear is a tricky one, our tip for that is you have just enough time before the really tricky jump at the end to pause slightly, so you can make sure that you make it. I can't get away from the mountain lion though - do any of you have any tips to help me?!
