(WHISTLES BLOW)

Safety check done.

Right, to the Northern Buoy
and back. Here we go!

Now, Hannah, remember,

if you need a break, take one...

know your limits!

I don’t have any limits!

She doesn’t!

There’s nothing that girl won’t try!

And the same goes for you, Ben.

I know how competitive you can get...

I’ve played tiddlywinks with you...



Me? Competitive?

And we’re off!

The Pontypandy Kayak
Challenge has started!

What? That’s so not fair! Come back!

-Bye!
-Safe trip!

Good luck!

-Gooo, Hannah!
-Be careful!

It’s a shame more people didn’t turn up

to see them off...

I just hope they get a good crowd

to welcome them back!

I think we need to make sure
that happens...

Mandy! Norman!

Go and drum up some support
for Ben and Hannah.

We need a good crowd to welcome them back!

Ooo, okay, Sam!

And I bet I can get more
people than Mandy!

In your dreams, Norman!

In my dreams? In your dreams, Mandy!

Oh dear, what have I started?

There’s no hurry, you know!

Oh, yes there is!

If I’m going to beat you!

That’s where you’re wrong,

you see long distance paddling

is about pacing yourself and
enjoying the moment.

(SPLASH!)

(giggle) Hey!

(giggle) I enjoyed that moment! Did you?

(giggle) Come here!

Oh, fantastic posters, Mandy!

That should get a lot of people along

to see Ben and Hannah!

Thanks, Sam!

Umm, any idea what Norman’s doing?

He seems to be very quiet...

Come to the Ocean Rescue Center later

to welcome Ben and Hannah home.

Oh, and be sure to say Norman sent you!

Ah... not so quiet after all then.

Posters? Is that all?

THEY’RE NOT VERY LOUD ARE THEY?

Come to the Ocean Rescue Center later

I’m going to put more posters...

Um, Sam... My hands are stuck!

Don’t worry, Mandy.

Let’s go and un-stick them!

(puffing) Look!

The Northern Buoy!

We’re nearly there!

Yay! Race you to the buoy!

Or are we ’pacing ourselves’?

Agh!

Ben?

Are you okay? Looked like
you hurt yourself?

Me?

(chuckle) Not at all! I’m fine.

Cool.

All we have to do now is paddle back.

All we have to do?

Are you sure you’re okay, Ben?

I’m fine!

It’s just that to go back
we’ll be paddling

against a really strong current...

Not as strong as me!
Pontypandy here I come!

Me too! Yes indeedy!

Thanks, Sam.

I think I’ll use sticky tape from now on!

Well hopefully your posters
and Norman’s shouting

will have done their job!

I think the posters will have worked

better than Norman’s shouting!

I HEARD THAT, MANDY!

ACTUALLY THIS IS NOT SHOUTING...

IT’S AN... AMPLIFIED... ADV (ert)

(cough) AD (Cak! Cakkkk!) A... (Cak!)

Now that’s something you don’t
hear every day...

Are you all right, Norman?

(CAK! CAK!) I... I... I...
swallowed... a...

(A FLY BUZZES OUT)

(CAK! CAK!) I... Blurgh!

Thanks, Fireman Sam...

That’s OK, Norman...

Any sign of Ben and Hannah, Penny?

Not yet, Sam.

Mind you, the current is quite
strong today.

That’s Pontypandy Island!
We shouldn’t be here...

(puffing) It’s the current, Hannah,

It’s stronger than I thought.

It’s pushing us away from the mainland.

That means we’re a really
long way off course!

Are you sure you’re okay, Ben?

I’m fine. Honest. Let’s just...

Agh! Ow!

You’re really not fine, are you?

It’s my shoulder.
I’ve totally strained it.

I can’t even paddle!

Well, you should stop paddling now!

Or you’ll make it much worse...

(sigh) What can we do?

There’s an emergency station
on Pontypandy Island.

It’s got flares.

You stay there...

I’m on my way!

Be careful, Hannah!

Did you come because of my
amplified advert?

No... we saw Mandy’s posters!

Ha!

What time are they due back, Sam?

Should be quite soon, Joe...

I’ll see if Penny’s got a visual.

Any sign, Penny?

People are arriving to
welcome them back...

Still nothing, Sam.

I hope they’re not in any trouble...

Good girl!

A flare!

It must be Ben and Hannah!

They are in trouble...

(ALARM BEEPS)

An emergency flare has been fired

from Pontypandy Island!

An emergency flare has been fired

from Pontypandy Island!

Penny, get Neptune ready!
Elvis is on his way!

(SIRENS BLARING)

(SIRENS BLARING)

(SIRENS BLARING)

You two search the island.

I’ll sweep the surrounding ocean.

(BLOWS HIS WHISTLE)

Hannah!

(puffing) Ben! You’ve really
floated a long way!

I kept drifting in the current!

(DISTANT SIRENS BLARING)

They’re searching the island.

But we’re over here!

(THEY BLOW THEIR WHISTLES)

Anything?

Nothing, Penny...

Sam! They’re not on the island.

They can’t be far...

You keep looking there, I’ll go north.

(THEY WHISTLE & SHOUT)

Over here!

You don’t think we’re stuck
out here, do you?

No way. Not with Sam and the
team looking for us.

They’ll find us!

(SIRENS BLARING)

Told you!

It’s Ben and Hannah - I’ve found them!

We’re on our way!

It’s my fault Sam,

I should have stopped when I
felt my shoulder go...

Well, we all push beyond our
limits sometimes, Ben...

lucky you had Hannah with you...

You okay, Hannah?

I didn’t finish...

Off you go! Finish the challenge!

Really?

Well... she might need a bit of help...

Go, Hannah!

Paddle like the wind!

(THEY CHEER)

(gasp)

(efforts) Made it!

(sigh)

Of course you did, Hannah!

We knew you would, didn’t we?

Yeah!

So, let’s have a big
cheer for Pontypandy’s

new Kayak Challenge champion... Hannah!
