Longer be compulsory after the 19th Ofjuly although we are advised to keep wearing them. But some people believe that Advice Wont be enough. A petition demanding we stick with masks until Cases Fall has been signed by almost 200,000 people, as Fiona Lamdin reports from Bristol Vt the rules may be changing next week, but here in clevedon, customers will still be asked to wear masks in this boutique. My daughter was diagnosed with Leukaemia Injune 2018, and went through two and a half years of treatment, and then came out of that treatment in. In covid, so its hard. Its been tough. Those people, like us, that have shielded, that literally didnt leave their homes, you know, for months on end, and people wearing a mask to protect each other made them feel safer. People like martin, who has lung disease. He shielded for the first three months of lockdown. I would feel terrified about going to shop next week, being surrounded by people not wearing masks and not social distancing. So, how will you get your shopping . I would have to go back to relying heavily on kind friends and neighbours, like i did in the first lockdown. He is so worried about the end of mask wearing he has set up a petition, and so far nearly 200,000 people have signed it. Research from Bristol University has found that wearing a mask reduces the spread of covid by 25 if everyone wears them. And its notjust shops. In this Hair Salon in bristol, the clients have asked for the masks to stay. I personally think its too soon to remove masks, and with cases rising in bristol, you know, the health and Well Being of my team is really my priority. Therefore, ill do everything that i can to stop covid passing through my team and clients. Masks may not be mandatory this time next week, but as the Prime Minister has this evening said, they still should be part of our lives. Fiona lamdin, bbc points west. From one of the worlds most exciting train rides, to Hurtling Downhill without brakes. To Moose Tracking in the forests of canada. This week, we revisit some of our Wildest Adventures. Hello, and welcome to the Travel Show with me, Carmen Roberts, coming to you this week from my local park in tokyo. Weve not been travelling these past few months, which has been an odd change of pace for All Of Us here on the programme, but over the past few years we have been to hundreds of incredible places and faced many unusual and occasionally uncomfortable situations. I faced my fear of heights jumping off the Sky Tower in new zealand, ignored basic Safety Advice and danced with scissors in peru, and played real life Mario Kart down some of the busiest road in tokyo. But its notjust me, though. All of us Travel Show regulars have had some pretty wild adventures, and this week we are looking back at some of our favourites. First up, in 2018, we went tojordan to mark 100 years since the culmination of the arab revolt, the legendary campaign against the Ottoman Empire which was famously led, its claimed, by lawrence of arabia. We sent Rajan Tojordan to experience a Battle Re Enactment Along One of the key supply lines. This is a reconstruction of one of the original trains and it used to carry supplies to the Ottoman Troops and i am going to take a trip through this stunning landscape. Baking hot out here i hope it is cool inside. This is a glorious feeling huge, Vast Arid Desert around me, these Big Granite Mountains on either side, just how you imagined it. Oh my god its horses wow thats a bomb i think you will find, thats a bomb. Oh what the hell that is loud so, what im guessing is that this train is being hijacked, and that a bomb has been exploded on the line and we cannot move. We have been well and truly hijacked. I tell you what, for a re enactment, its pretty realistic. Im actually scared, even though i know they are blanks. What the hell ok, im going im going, 0k dont leave me here 0k, 0k. Hands up, Hands Up man, Hands Up constant attacks on the 0ttoman� s Railway Supply lines worked, the war ended and several new nations, syria, iraq, libya were formed. The origins of The Middle East that know today can be traced to these attacks on the railway and the subsequent covering up of the region by the brits and french. That was rajan there under bombardment in the blazing heat of the jordanian desert. Its a bit of a Temperature Change now and we head to the Chilly Austrian Alps where ben braved 30 degrees centigrade and a Gathering Storm for a spot of Snow Camping and lets just say it didnt all go to plan. We have put up all of the tents now. Mostly these guys. Its going well, it is a lot warmer than i thought. So after some hard work, our camp is set and i will be honest, a hot drink has never been more satisfying. As the sun fell behind the mountains, little did we know that this would be a last chance to take in this amazing environment. It was most definitely the calm before the storm. Its absolutely freezing and getting colder by the second, but it really is beautiful and id never seen anything like it in my life. We melt snow over Camp Stoves to make our dinners of rehydrated chicken noodles. But then, the dramatically worsening weather was taking its toll. Somewhere along the way, i took a Wrong Turn and now im in the deeper snow. Oh god. Oh god, oh god. Oh god, its so deep. That was difficult. 0k. Heres my house for the night. Oh, its so cold the ground feels like a freezer. 0k. It is currently 2am and i have not slept at all. I think we are right in the middle of the storm and the winds are so strong. But the worst was yet to come. We woke up early to a blizzard of snow. With the wind hitting me this hard, im shocked at how drastically this amazing place can change overjust a few hours. But then, it was all hands on deck to pack down our tents. With visibility restricted to just a few metres in places, it was important we stick together. 0ur Path was never too farfrom a sheer drop down the mountain. Getting down was going to be much harder than getting up. The storm had meant the whole mountain had been shut down for Safety Reasons and we would essentially need to be evacuated. So, snowploughs to the rescue. The storm had meant the whole mountain had been shut down for Safety Reasons and we would essentially need to be evacuated. So, snowploughs to the rescue. Its not really the morning i was hoping for because you cant really see anything because it is such a blizzard, but it was such a great experience, something you dont do every day, but now it is time to get warm. Next, we head to the state of hidalgo, central mexico, when mike endured one eco parque� s notorious night walk, where tourists can experience a brutal recreation of an illegal Border Crossing into the united states. This reconstruction has been designed by locals to try to persuade migrants not to attempt the sometimes perilous journey, which claimed 300 lives last year. We are told to meet inside the main gate. And even though these guys are playing a part, they really mean business. So the Guy Yelling at the top of his lungs is the person taking us across the border. He is taking his character extremely seriously. So firstly, we are alljumping in the back of a pickup truck. I have no idea where we are going. Hes not giving us any tips. And were going to attempt to cross the Border Theyve created for us tonight. I have to watch my step. There is gunshots, there is sirens, this bridge is totally not stable, and theres people crawling on the ground. I dont even know whats going on but the group is slowly. You 0k . Yes. Unsure footing, i can kind of deal with. But things get much scarier when you are forced to the ground by these very authentic looking bandits. Crack normally you would welcome the arrival of the police with open arms, but our coyote tells us to run. Sirens we have to go, we have to go panting the idea of this park is to show people what hardships and work goes into Border Crossings, and this has been a perfect example so far. This is the moment, this is the moment. 0ur Coyote is stressing out. Wait for the next truck, as soon as it comes, were jumping in the back. Sirens theyre coming. Sirens off in the distance. Here at the eco parque, they are hoping the experience will end up saving many lives. Its certainly given many of the guests here pause for thought. Sirens well, stay with us, because coming up. Cheering henry dodges obstacles on a downhill Cart Race in the philippines. And i hang from a waterfall in peru. Oh, my gosh so, dont go away. Right. We are Crossing Continents now and heading to canada in search of one of its most famous residents. And even though it is big and noisy, the canadian moose is surprisingly elusive. But luckily, krista had the help of one of the countrys top trackers. Howling you must be pierre . Yes, i am. Lovely to meet you. What an amazing song. You really sounded like a wolf. Thanks although wolves dont normally carry guitars. My friends call me peter the wolf. Pierre takes tourists around this forest, the worlds biggest research forest. As ever, Sunrise And Sunset are the best times for spotting. He reckons there is an 80 chance. This is the mark that a big male with big antlersjust made. 0n the moose safari, we are trying to find the moose, we are trying to approach them with all the ancestral technique the wind and the noise, and we are also doing moose, different calls, to attract them. Sometimes we are very lucky. With the moose calls you make, could you explain the noises . What do they say . Honking the female noise is like this. Honking and the male, it is short but deep. Kind of rough. Grunting its very deep, because moose are big. They are the biggest member of the deer family. Male grunting pierre takes me off deep into the woods, chasing very faint calls he can hear in the distance. Hes not above smearing himself in a � moose bath, which is basically a collection of unpleasant substances the animal has left behind. The going is heavy. I have a tough time in the boggy ground. But after a couple of hours with two soaking wet feet and daylight disappearing, we admit defeat, get back in the Car And Head for home. When, suddenly. I see it oh, my goodness huge antlers on that one. Moose. Yeah. Moose call the boys are out tonight. Look at that. Distant, but definitely there. Moose Call 0ff Pierre went, chasing the moose into the sunset. Krista there, enjoying the sights, sounds and smells of the canadian wilderness. Next up, were off to the philippines and the island of negros, made famous by a local sport that has attracted thousands of thrillseekers from all over the world, including our very own henry golding. We dont recommend you try this at home. Cheering thats insane i saw him flying about 30 Feet Laughter 0n something thats. Its a unique thing. It might look like a few bits of bamboo strung together with wheels, but that is pretty much what it is add a hill and a few obstacles, youve got a sport that will definitely get the adrenaline going. It all started when local Environmentalist Nicky decided to ramp up a Childrens Game and turn it into a heart stopping adventure sport. It could be described as an extreme sport. An insane sport, nicky. Theres something wrong with you and your friends cheering he is still alive. So, missing about 15 trees on the way down, 0k . That is important. Oh, dear. Oh, dear gaining speed yeah lively music now, they make it look very easy, but its far from it. You have to be careful of where you are heading, because these tracks arent straight lines, and the speed just picks up a crazy amount. You need a way to slow down. Watch out for those trees close Call Laughter after a few attempts, i start to get the hang of things. Riding in a crew as for the big jumps, well, i think i will leave that to the professionals. Laughter yeah, good job, good job yeah Woo Hoo and finally, this week, one of my all time favourite experiences here on the Travel Show. Back in 2016, i travelled to the andes in Northern Peru to the home of the yumbilla falls, one of the largest waterfalls in the world. And i was incredibly lucky to be one of the first people to try and abseil down it. Your legs, carmen, 90 degrees like this. Lean backwards. Taking off is terrifying. Its hard to stay up with the constant pressure of the water pushing me backwards, and im told this is the easy part. Ok we reached the tiny ledge overlooking the last 70 metres and prepare for our descent. What a view oh, my gosh, its amazing Woo Hoo 0k. Here we go. Were so close. This is amazing so far, so good. But halfway down, im in for a shock. Slightly unnerving were going to lose The Rock now and go into freefall. Ah i can do this. Ah, yep, this is good. Without The Rock face, im literally hanging. Its hard work on my hand. Basically, this rope is holding my body weight. Im having to release the rope to get me down. This way of coming down is faster and scarier, but a lot more exciting. We reach the last part of the descent, and im so relieved to finally get to the bottom. Whoa i know its crazy, i didnt expect so much water that was amazing. What a rush. Yeah well, thats it for this week, and our look back at some of our Wildest Adventures here on the Travel Show. And hopefully we will be on the road, pushing our limits again very soon. But in the meantime, you can keep up on social media, where well give you some inspiration for your future travel plans. Just search bbc Travel Show on all the main platforms and youll find us there. But until next time, from me Carmen Roberts and the rest of the Travel Show team at home, all around the world, its goodbye. Hello there. We had some pretty impressive downpours across different parts of the country on monday. The Radar Picture shows one of these bands of Heavy Rain working into north east england, particularly north yorkshire, and then we have this Second Band Of Rain Across the West London area. Now in kew, in West London, we picked up 46 mm of rain from the shower band. That was pretty much Smack Bang on a whole months of rain and the majority of that fell in just the space of two hours. If you were wondering what that looks like, it looks like this. Three miles down the road in twickenham The Roads flooded, and there were reports of flooding elsewhere as well. Now, over the next few hours, those showers that we have seen by day will continue to very gradually fade away. The majority of us will eventually become drier over with just an odd patch of rain still lingering into the east. Temperatures around 12 to 1a celsius, feeling a little on the Muggy Side as well, particularly across parts of eastern england. Now, for tuesday, weve got much more in the way of dry Weather And Sunshine with fewer showers, and for most of us, its going to be a dry morning. The early morning cloud breaking, sunny spells developing widely and there should be quite a lot of that sunshine. But into the afternoon, were likely to see some showers develop. Look at this line of showers forming across parts of northwest england, the midlands and perhaps another one affecting wales down towards parts of dorset as well. Now, those showers could be fairly heavy at times, but away from those shower bands, there should be a lot of dry weather to take us through the rest of the afternoon. Temperatures pushing into the low 20s quite widely. It will feel warm in the sunshine. Now, wednesday, we see a little Weather Front working into the far northwest of the uk. Thats bringing some thicker cloud. Might get a few patches of rain just skirting into the North And West of scotland. But otherwise, probably a bit more cloud around, but still some bright or sunny spells developing. The best of those towards the east of High Ground and those temperatures still into the low 20s. Its going to be another day that will feel pleasantly warm where the Sunshine Breaks through the cloud. Now, beyond that, it was the end of the week, the weekend and next week. This area of High Pressure is going to be dominating our weather picture, and that means weve got a lengthy spell of dry and sunny weather. Temperatures on these charts pushing into the high 20s. Well, it wouldnt be surprising to see temperatures into the low 30s in some places next week. This is bbc news, our top stories in cuba, the biggest protests against the communist government in decades, president biden says the protests are a Clarion Call for freedom.
