Dean kicks things off with a visit to Malham Cove in the Yorkshire Dales where they meet geologist Dr John Helm. John is keen to show the boys a part of the Dales many visitors pass by without even noticing but the journey underground proves to be a nerve-wracking experience for both.

Dean, who also narrates the series, says to Liam: 'I'd like you to experience this wonderful place called Yorkshire which will blow your socks off."

The pair then go caving underground. Liam says: 'I'm too young to go underground. When we first talked about going underground I was bricking it but now I've got the gear on I feel better.'
