Today on The Adventure's Guide To Britain Gethin and Charlotte try to uncover a hidden Lake Districtthat most of the National Park's 16 million visitors overlook.  Gethin gets chilled to the bone trying the new sport of wilderness fishing; while Charlotte gets a canoe's eye view of Ullswater, the Lake District's biggest lake, that only the lucky few get to see.  Only a stone's throw from the busy lake, Charlotte guides Gethin to a grandstand view of one of England's only herds of truly wild Red deer. Then together they take a dip in nature's very own infinity pool - as they wild swim in a hilltop tarn.

Gethin and Charlotte head to the North Pennines in search of adventure and unearth a hidden gem.  Upper Teesdale is one of Britain's least visited beauty spots yet its home to some of its most spectacular waterfalls.  Charlotte investigates the unique flora around Cauldron Snout which lays claim to being England's longest waterfall.  Gethin braves a terrifying crawl through a two hundred and forty year old lead mine and together they face the full force of the river Tees to try out a breathtaking white water craze.
