00:10Welcome to Sweden, one of the happiest and healthiest places on Earth.
00:15I'm loving it already.
00:19Woo!
00:21Look at that.
00:22This is a hydrofoil.
00:23This is a hydrofoil.
00:24Oh, you'd like this.
00:25So calming and soothing.
00:27It's the opposite of you.
00:28It's a zero-disruption machine.
00:30If you love me foils, you're going to absolutely love our wheels.
00:40Me and Chris have test-driven cars all around the world together.
00:44Have you missed me?
00:45I thought I had.
00:47And now we're going back behind the wheel.
00:49If you're going to do that, drop a window, it's dealt with.
00:51I'm not farting.
00:53Let me, second!
00:55I've hit the big 5-0, and it's coming for Chris, too.
00:58I'm not giving up.
01:00But instead of getting weird about it...
01:03What are you doing?
01:04We've decided to tackle getting older head-on.
01:08Oh!
01:09Oh, my God!
01:11So we're visiting some of our European neighbours.
01:14Cheers!
01:15Yay!
01:18To see if any of them can let us in on the secret.
01:21Hello, chaps.
01:22Hello, chaps.
01:24That's it, Chris.
01:26I can't hold on.
01:28To living healthier, happier, and longer lives.
01:32You are a changed man.
01:33I'm so proud of you.
01:34Nearly there, Chris.
01:36Come on, son.
01:52We're starting off in Sweden, home of flat-pack furniture and ABBA.
01:56So perfect for this pair of dancing queens.
01:59Eh?
01:59And the new set of wheels.
02:03What better way to travel across country than in a cross country?
02:08Hey.
02:09Good lad.
02:11Oh, you've spoiled me here, Patrick.
02:13Look at this.
02:14So they facelifted the 850 in 96 and created the V70.
02:20Chris loves a Volvo.
02:22They like him.
02:24Reliable.
02:25Even when they've got a few miles on the clock.
02:27You might be here for some time.
02:29Do yourself a brew.
02:31But I had to let him do a little bit of some of the cars, so bear with.
02:36Five-cylinder as well.
02:37Yeah.
02:38It's got that lovely five-cylinder Warbler.
02:40I know you like a five-cylinder.
02:41Brilliant.
02:41Get in.
02:42Let's go.
02:43Listen to that door.
02:43Listen to that door.
02:45That is quality, mate.
02:47And we're off.
02:49Adventure time.
02:50If you change your mind.
02:52Take a chance.
02:52I'm the first in line.
02:54Take a chance.
02:55Honey, I'm still free.
02:57Take a chance.
02:57Take a chance on me.
02:59Take a chance.
02:59If you need me, let me know.
03:01The Swedes are some of the happiest people on earth.
03:05Despite how much time they spend assembling furniture.
03:08Oh.
03:09On cue.
03:10An Ikea.
03:11Maybe they can teach us a few things.
03:14Starting with the highway code.
03:16I've got a funny feeling I'm in the wrong lane here.
03:17I don't know.
03:18Whoa.
03:18What you could do is try to put your foot down a bit and get in front of this yellow
03:22one.
03:22All right, Sterling.
03:23For God's sake, calm down.
03:25We're starting our trip south of the city of Gothenburg and heading down the west coast
03:30in search of Swedish remedies for getting older.
03:34I'm 50.
03:35When are you 50?
03:36Next year.
03:37Next year.
03:38Are you having me on?
03:39Next year.
03:40I'm older than you.
03:42Yes.
03:43Look at yourself in the mirror.
03:45That is what I'm basing it on.
03:47No, you are.
03:49Wow.
03:53Men, as they get older, worry about things like the masculinity.
03:58They worry about virility.
04:00Virality.
04:00Is it virility?
04:02Being virile.
04:03You choose.
04:04Yeah.
04:04I'll say being virile.
04:05Well, loss.
04:08Yeah.
04:08We both know what that's like.
04:10I think a lot of it is down to stress.
04:13I think my problem is I can saunter through life, ignoring my age, but there are specific
04:19moments where things remind me of it, particularly physical things.
04:23I mean, you're in good shape, but I'm not in good shape.
04:26And I don't, you know, when I start limping or I sit down and I can't get up again, I
04:30don't
04:30like it.
04:30But what does a woman worry about?
04:33Don't know.
04:33I don't know.
04:34But I'll tell you this, this 23-year-old Volvo has got one of the nicest spaced pedal
04:39boxes I've ever experienced, because I can, I can get a heel and, I can get a roll onto
04:44the throttle when I brake.
04:46Feel this now.
04:46Feel this heel and toe.
04:47Like that.
04:48You didn't feel that, did you?
04:50As I said earlier, that's the other short, right?
04:53You've got to stop doing that on this trip.
04:57It's not going to wash.
04:59Different set of viewers just putting it out there.
05:02Yeah, but I like all that stuff.
05:03Oh, God.
05:06Getting Chris out of his comfort zone is always tough, so I'm hoping our first stop will chill
05:12him out a bit.
05:22This is the seaside town of Varberg.
05:25Imagine Blackpool, but full of saunas.
05:29Some Swedes reckon that spending time in steamy huts is the key to health and happiness.
05:35I'm going to have to open my mind to this, because I'm used to going to the pub, really,
05:38but they like going and sweating.
05:40Yeah.
05:40Well, we've done that in the pub as well, haven't we?
05:43I'm not a great sauna goer.
05:45I'm approaching this with some trepidation, because I don't like confined spaces much, and I think
05:50they like to throw you in cold water afterwards, we have to integrate with the locals to understand
05:55it, and they'll be looking at us thinking, who are these softies?
05:58I lift my soul down, down by the sea.
06:05There you go.
06:06Oh, that's it.
06:07Look at that.
06:08It's beautiful.
06:08Beautiful.
06:09It looks a bit like a sort of religious building.
06:11It does, doesn't it?
06:13This isn't just any old sauna, but the granddaddy of them all.
06:18It's one of the oldest and most famous in the country.
06:21Isn't that gorgeous?
06:22That's gorgeous.
06:23That's gorgeous.
06:23Now, it doesn't scream sauna, does it?
06:25No, it doesn't.
06:26No, it looks like Western Supermare, but in Morocco.
06:29Right, I'm getting the towels out the back.
06:32Here's some.
06:33Good lad.
06:36Here we go.
06:37You brought your flip-flops?
06:39No.
06:39I'm always nervous about going into a new place and undressing.
06:43You smell the old holibus, can't you?
06:45But we're meeting a lad who's been coming here for 25 years.
06:49Hello, pal.
06:50Hello.
06:51Tell you what, you're looking very relaxed.
06:54I am.
06:55Ovi, how are you, pal?
06:56Good to meet you.
06:57I'm Paddy.
06:58I'm Chris.
06:59Hi, Chris.
06:59Nice to meet you guys.
07:01Beautiful.
07:01Yeah, it is.
07:02So where's the sauna?
07:03It's in the other side.
07:05That's what we're here.
07:05You want to come?
07:06Yes.
07:07Yeah, go and take your clothes off.
07:08Yes.
07:08He's keen.
07:09Are you joining us?
07:10I'll be your guide.
07:11Right, come on then.
07:12Beautiful.
07:13Here we go.
07:14Nature's Botox.
07:21Do you remember on Top Gear, the first time I dropped my tags in front of me and you shrieked?
07:25Yeah, that isn't the fritter sight, to be honest.
07:27Yeah.
07:27Ready?
07:32I can't believe we're going.
07:33I can't believe we've gone from, I used to test Lamborghini and I'm now doing a shower
07:36scene with Lamborghini.
07:44I don't know.
07:45I don't know about health and happiness, but these lads aren't suffering from shyness.
07:52Hi guys.
07:54Hello chaps.
07:54Hello.
07:55Hello.
07:57Hello.
07:57Hello.
07:57Hello.
07:58This is my friends.
07:59Hello.
08:00The idea is that saunas are supposed to reduce stress, although to be honest, I've really
08:06felt more nervous.
08:07Hello boys.
08:09Hello.
08:11Here we are in the country at Gables Abba, and they've already whipped out the Chikatitas.
08:18What a view.
08:19Let's keep looking out there.
08:26Who's the oldest gentleman in here?
08:2988.
08:2988.
08:31You look fantastic.
08:32So did you guys all meet through coming here or did you know each other outside of coming
08:37here?
08:37We didn't know each other before we come here.
08:40We meet here and after a while someone said, you're welcome to join our group.
08:44Come here and you talk or you're quiet?
08:46We talk.
08:47We talk.
08:48We talk.
08:49We listen.
08:53It's sort of like a big naked version of my local pub.
08:58What about outside of here?
09:00What's your lifestyles like?
09:01If you retire.
09:02I retire a lot.
09:03Yeah, but before you retire.
09:04That really was a teacher.
09:05Teacher.
09:06Right.
09:07Okay.
09:07It was a fire sheaf.
09:10Yeah.
09:10It was a sausage maker.
09:12Yeah.
09:13Sausage maker.
09:14Right.
09:14Sausage maker.
09:15Okay.
09:15All right.
09:16Okay.
09:16One thing with being naked, when you take your clothes off, everyone is on the same level.
09:23Are they?
09:24Yeah.
09:25Well, some more than others.
09:27Maybe that's the problem.
09:27In the UK, some aren't the same.
09:29Here you are.
09:30Yeah.
09:31Yeah.
09:31Okay.
09:33Over here, it's a different vibe, isn't it?
09:35It's a level playing field.
09:37There's no class.
09:38It's kind of everyone's naked as babies and just chatting about anything really.
09:42Spiny too short.
09:44Everything's too short.
09:46That's why I'm wearing shorts.
09:48I know I'm not in good shape.
09:50So you are more self-conscious and it's not a good feeling.
09:53They don't seem to have that at all.
09:54So how much do you associate how fit and healthy you are for your ages to this kind of activity?
10:02Is this key?
10:03I think it's the well-being in your mind.
10:07I think that's the most important.
10:10We've lost some of the men that have died, yeah?
10:14And at every funeral, the priest has been talking about how important the sauna was, yeah?
10:18Really?
10:19Yeah.
10:19And some of them have put the towel for sitting on the coffin, yeah?
10:23No.
10:25Yeah, it's true.
10:27Wow, that's something, isn't it?
10:30But it's not just the sauna that's good for your health.
10:33You finish off by plunging into crystal clear icy water.
10:37When you go into the cold, very cold water, you have some hormones just pumping.
10:43So when you stay there a couple of minutes, when you come up you feel so well.
10:47You feel good.
10:48You feel happy.
10:49Yeah.
10:49Yeah.
10:49So if you don't come here, if you're away on vacation or whatever, do you miss this place?
10:54Yeah.
10:54Do you feel mentally you miss it?
10:55Yeah, we do.
10:56Yeah.
10:57Yeah.
10:58Especially the water.
10:59Not the end, but the water.
11:02I feel like I need a bit of a cold plumage now myself.
11:05Ready?
11:06Let's do it.
11:06I think you're a coward.
11:07Oh!
11:12Oh!
11:14Fresh.
11:15Look at this!
11:20It's straight in there.
11:21I know.
11:22I know.
11:24Oh!
11:25They warned us the water was a bit chilly, so Chris and I went in fully prepared for shrinkage.
11:34Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
11:36Nice!
11:37Oh!
11:38That's fresh!
11:40Oh!
11:41Fresh.
11:41Yes!
11:42My word!
11:43That's fresh.
11:45Really good.
11:45Right.
11:46That's not 15.
11:48That's about 10.
11:49God.
11:50My God, you feel it.
11:51You feel your forearms and your legs going a bit.
11:55I bet you it's not 15.
11:56Oz, you've had it between your legs.
11:58Nearly.
11:59Nearly 17.
12:00He says it is.
12:01You are a kid.
12:02Yes.
12:03Good Lord, that is cold, Patrick.
12:05It's not cold.
12:07It's fresh.
12:07Beaker!
12:08Beaker!
12:09I'll tell you what, there's something to be said for that.
12:11I feel amazing.
12:12Actually, I feel that water were bolted, but you get out and five minutes later you feel
12:16like lovely and warm and glowing.
12:18Bit like when you were a kid and you had your ready break.
12:21It feels fantastic.
12:23Oh!
12:24Cheers!
12:25How do we say cheers in Swedish?
12:26Skål!
12:27Skål!
12:28Skål!
12:29Skål!
12:30So this is Fika, and it's a big deal in Sweden.
12:33It's a traditional ritual that basically involves some bands.
12:37Cinnamon band?
12:38Oh!
12:39You got one?
12:40And some bands.
12:41Look at that.
12:42We have a name of our group.
12:45We call the sauna club the raisins.
12:48The raisins.
12:48Because it's shriveled.
12:50Shriveled, yeah.
12:51That's right.
12:54That's good.
12:54Two times a week.
12:56It's really important.
12:57Yeah.
12:57And they just talk and argue and have a sweet...
13:00Yeah.
13:00But we never talk political.
13:02No politics.
13:03I was going to ask you that, so no politics.
13:05No politics, no religion.
13:07The most...
13:08Let's talk about cars, sports.
13:10I like cars.
13:11Cars is a good thing.
13:13I really, really enjoyed it.
13:14The idea of no politics, no negativity, no religion.
13:18Let's just sit and chow about our lives.
13:20It's an escape valve.
13:21They've got a two times a week escape valve where their bodies enjoy what's happening to them.
13:25And I think their brains do as well.
13:27There's something in it.
13:29Definitely something in it.
13:30I'd love to get one of the towels.
13:33I need one to put on his coffin.
13:35When we get back home.
13:37I have a spare towel you can get.
13:39Oh, fantastic.
13:40This is from the 70s.
13:42It all smells so good.
13:45Like cheese.
13:51Obviously, it's working, lads, isn't it?
13:53Because you're all looking amazing.
13:55You feel great as well.
13:57We want a little bit of that, don't we?
13:59I think we've started.
14:00I'm not in good shape at the moment.
14:02I'm nearly 50 years old.
14:03I have three years of not really looking after myself.
14:06This is a reboot for me.
14:08Thank you very much, guys.
14:10Gentlemen, thank you very much.
14:12Thanks for having us, lads.
14:13I think we're all guilty in life of living our lives by the clock.
14:17Especially in the UK.
14:18You know, you're always checking the time.
14:20You're stressing about stuff.
14:21These guys take time out.
14:23It's a full day of a thing for them.
14:25I think as you get older, it's not about looking amazing.
14:28It's about feeling amazing.
14:30Thank you very much.
14:32It's absolutely fantastic.
14:34Considering this is day one,
14:36and I'm already feeling great off the back of it.
14:39If this is the start, I can't wait to see what the end's going to be like.
14:43I managed to get my towel.
14:45Look at that.
14:481985.
14:50I'll give me hands a quick sanitise after it,
14:54but take it home, give it a wash, and we're all good.
15:14After just one day, we can already see how important good health is to the Swedes.
15:19And it's made me realise, myself and Chris have got a lot to learn.
15:25It's still amazing when you come to a country like Sweden,
15:29how the philosophy is different to how we live.
15:31And I think as men, it's very easy in the UK to kind of go,
15:35well, I'm not doing all that.
15:38If you look at something like your testicles,
15:40they might be swollen up like grapefruits.
15:43That's the level you get to as a bloke where you think,
15:45no, I'll go to doctors.
15:46Yeah, and you've just used the word testicles.
15:48And I'm amazed that, actually, my newfound maturity,
15:51because even until recently, if someone just said the word testicles, I'd sneak it.
15:55I still struggle with the word anus.
15:58I think arse is just better.
16:00Yeah, but they're different things, mate.
16:02What are you on about?
16:03If you were to see a man with a nicely shaped backside,
16:06if you said, I like the look of his anus,
16:09I would say to you, what do you mean?
16:12But if you said, I like the look of his arse...
16:17That's true, you don't go, nice anus.
16:19So...
16:28When it comes to keeping fit and healthy,
16:31we might not know our, well, our anus from our elbow,
16:34but it turns out the Swedes have a secret weapon.
16:38Mother Nature.
16:40There's a philosophy in these Nordic countries,
16:43and I'm going to question my pronunciation here.
16:46OK.
16:47Free Lufts live.
16:49Free Lufts live.
16:51Free Lufts live.
16:52It's a concept of being at one with nature
16:55and de-stressing your life.
16:57We all go to, well, you, I wouldn't,
17:00you all go to places like Magaluf and get hammered
17:03and do what you do.
17:04These guys will go to, they'll go to a fjord
17:07or they'll go to a lake up north
17:09and they'll walk, they'll eat healthily.
17:11That's what they do.
17:12They use their spare time to go back and reconnect with nature,
17:16which is probably something that we should do more.
17:20So today we're heading inland to bond with nature
17:23and push the philosophy of free Lufts live to an extreme.
17:30Here people don't need a gym to stay fit.
17:35Just give them a lake, a forest track, some lycra, and they're good to go.
17:42I'm already feeling intimidated.
17:44Look at these in the water here.
17:46Oh, blimey.
17:49He's off running.
17:50We're not doing this, are we?
17:51That's not even running, that's sprinting.
17:54The one good thing is they're all clothed.
17:58No one's naked.
18:03We're about to be put through our paces by Jonas Coulting.
18:07He's a top triathlete and two-time Ultraman world champion.
18:12Slightly more depressingly, he's the same age as me and Chris
18:15and he looks a lot better in that wetsuit.
18:19Must be Jonas.
18:21Yes.
18:21Good to see you, Paddy.
18:23I'm Jonas.
18:24Jonas is Chris.
18:25Hi.
18:25It's obviously working.
18:27You look fantastic, pal.
18:30Please tell us we're not doing that.
18:31We could, but I hadn't planned for it.
18:34I'm taking you out for a Swedish typical forest excursion.
18:38Oh, I love that.
18:40Let's go, we'll follow you.
18:41I presume you're going to get out that wet gear.
18:43Don't want any chafing.
18:46Almost three quarters of Sweden is made up of forests
18:49and unlike a gym, you can work out in any of them for free.
18:57Sweden would be probably one of the best countries for outdoor activities
19:02because we have something called the Allemansrätt,
19:05which means we all have access to nature.
19:07I mean, there's basically no private land where you're not able to access.
19:11So it is really the Swedish way to...
19:12That's interesting.
19:13So there's no private land?
19:14This is all public land?
19:15Yeah, this is all public.
19:16But everything like forest, lakes, like you can swim basically anywhere.
19:20Like you can hike basically anywhere.
19:21You can pick mushrooms and berries basically anywhere in the season.
19:24Oh, fantastic.
19:25So most Swedes really use nature as a way to decompress,
19:28handle lifestyle stress and also just to, you know, keep healthy.
19:38So far, it's been a lovely country walk that Jonas is about to ruin by making us do some exercise.
19:46Welcome to the Swedish forest.
19:48Quite nice.
19:48It's almost like a gym mat.
19:50It is.
19:51It is.
19:51It is.
19:52We're doing a 45-minute extreme forest workout.
19:56Are you ready for this?
19:58This is the beginning of the new me.
20:00That's excellent.
20:01Love that.
20:01Love that.
20:02Good foot positioning.
20:04Yeah.
20:06I'll be sure to go from high, Bob.
20:12I won't want to be that tree stump right now.
20:18Ready?
20:18Just imagine it's my head.
20:20Oh.
20:21Bring it on.
20:23Bring it on high.
20:24Jonas calls this primal training.
20:27Pulling.
20:28We're pushing.
20:28We're lifting.
20:29We're throwing.
20:30We're hurling.
20:30We're sledging.
20:32And I tell you what.
20:33It's the best therapy.
20:35All right.
20:36Enjoyed that.
20:37Hold as far out as you can.
20:39As far out on the...
20:40There you go.
20:41There you go.
20:42One more on that side.
20:43He's enjoying that.
20:45Bring it up high.
20:46Bring it up high.
20:49Please don't go up after in dead trees in your local park.
20:52Unless you're with a Swedish triathlete.
20:55Yeah.
20:56Yeah.
20:57Good stuff.
20:58Enjoyed that.
20:59Enjoyed that.
21:00The first time you've done any real exercise in a long time,
21:03always kills, doesn't it?
21:05Get that white stance.
21:06Get that white stance.
21:08Oh, Chris.
21:08Probably done a bit of drinking and smoking in the last couple of years,
21:10so I'll get that burn.
21:12But you have to start somewhere.
21:13The rock section is really about speed and repetition.
21:17Chest.
21:18Pushing it.
21:19That will be very tiring.
21:21Good.
21:22Now, kids, don't try this at all.
21:24Or anywhere else for that matter.
21:25Two chest.
21:26Hurl.
21:26Yeah.
21:27I'll get that.
21:28I knew he'd say that.
21:30It's not pleasant.
21:31It's profoundly unpleasant.
21:32There's a little bit of your brain that's going,
21:34this is good.
21:35Oh, yeah.
21:37Yeah.
21:39All right, last one.
21:41Wow.
21:42Good.
21:43Good.
21:44All right, guys.
21:45We're doing the tug of war.
21:46So grab the rope, leave it some slack,
21:48and just really strain against each other and work that entire body.
21:54I'll pull you uphill.
21:56It's the same.
21:59Oh, I've always done this before.
22:01I like that.
22:02Get a really good stance.
22:03I mean, really solid stance.
22:04Don't just leave Gola out.
22:06No, no, no.
22:08I was about to say.
22:10Three, two, one.
22:12All right, let's hold.
22:1330 seconds from now.
22:15You may change footing a little bit, but...
22:18Are you putting all your weight on that?
22:19That feels like it to me.
22:21I'm trying to get you up a nil here.
22:22Look at that.
22:23He's pulling me in the lab.
22:24Put some effort into it.
22:26Put some effort into it.
22:27All right.
22:28All right.
22:29Put some more effort into it.
22:34Now I'm tired.
22:35That's two seconds.
22:35All right.
22:35That's 35, 40 seconds.
22:37I was good there.
22:38It feels good, right?
22:39Yeah.
22:40I really enjoyed that.
22:41There's something to be said about training with no mirrors,
22:45no mobile phones, no distractions,
22:47no trying to outdo anyone around you.
22:50Just inner forest, nature, fresh air.
22:55It's amazing.
22:56Yeah, I feel good.
22:56Feel it, yeah.
22:57Good dog.
22:58You brought your primal inner being out.
23:00I'm actually thinking of growing a beard.
23:02To be honest.
23:03I would join this gym.
23:04I don't like gyms.
23:05Gyms smell of toilet block,
23:07whereas this smells of green stuff,
23:10and a little bit of conifer,
23:11and I love it.
23:19This is part of Friluftsliv.
23:21It's like making food outdoors.
23:23Oh.
23:26So I'd love for you to meet my family, my kids.
23:28This is my wife, Elin.
23:30Hello.
23:31Hi, nice to meet you.
23:31Nice to meet you.
23:32Nice to meet you.
23:33Nice to meet you.
23:33Elin will make you a Swedish hot dog with Swedish specialties.
23:38Oh, fantastic.
23:39Oh, what's this?
23:40Shrimp salad, hot dog, and...
23:43Good.
23:44Very Swedish.
23:45Bit of crunch in that as well, isn't there?
23:47Oh, yeah.
23:48Since you've had children,
23:50how have you found your work-life balance
23:52with your training and everything else?
23:54Tone down the training a bit.
23:56It becomes more challenging,
23:57because my motivation for staying fit,
24:00or even more so, staying healthy,
24:02is bigger than ever.
24:03Like, it's for me to be there for them, you know?
24:06Yeah.
24:06My dream with the boys is to be able to do, like,
24:08a swim-run competition with them when they're teenagers, you know?
24:11Yeah, yeah.
24:11When you're 70, that's when you loop 50.
24:14Yeah, I don't know about that.
24:15You'll be all good.
24:17Because my kids, they've realized I'm getting older.
24:19And then, of course, I'm not in very good shape.
24:21They're gentle,
24:22but I think what they want to say to me is,
24:24sort yourself out.
24:25Yeah, I don't think you're in that bad shape, Chris.
24:28Just getting rid of perfection, first of all,
24:30is a good...
24:30Because life is never perfect.
24:31Goals become totally unattainable
24:33if you put them up too high.
24:35Like, I'll do the best I can with what I have.
24:37Oh, look, if you've taken it,
24:38you've taken it.
24:39Thank you so much.
24:39Never mind if Tom brings me things all the time.
24:44In the UK, we do everything 100 miles an hour.
24:48I'm the worst for that, you know,
24:50but I think when you've got this on your doorstep,
24:53you can get out on your own and just do your bit.
24:55Whereas in the UK,
24:56if you see a bloke in a forest on his own,
24:59he's not training.
25:01Just putting it out there.
25:07They're doing something right, aren't they?
25:08Yeah.
25:09Because they seem to have time with their families.
25:12Look at all these kids running around.
25:13After school, they come to a lake,
25:14have a good laugh,
25:16and our kids are going back and looking at devices
25:18and eating McDonald's.
25:19Yeah.
25:20not very good.
25:21Yes.
25:21We could learn a lot from it.
25:23I think, for me,
25:24it's about sorting out the balance between work and life.
25:28I don't know about you in the UK,
25:29but my work-life balance is work, work, work, work.
25:35A little bit of life.
25:36That's a trap you can fall into.
25:38I want to get it the other way.
25:39I want to get a bit of 50-50 going on crystals.
25:41Yeah.
25:41Because, you know,
25:42it's over.
25:43It's over like that, isn't it?
25:51Right, you lot.
25:52In the spirit of living life to its fullest,
25:55we're off to the big city to have some fun,
25:58Swedish style.
26:07Gothenburg has the longest summer in Sweden.
26:12144 days of summer.
26:14Gorgeous.
26:15It's amazing.
26:15If you're going to do that, by the way,
26:16can you put the window down?
26:17Because that's not on.
26:18I'm not farted.
26:19Just for the smoothness of this trip,
26:21drop a window and it's dealt with.
26:26Nice building.
26:27When did you start to have architectural sympathies?
26:32Erm...
26:33Because I've seen your house.
26:38Urban Swedes love a team sport.
26:40And after football,
26:42ice hockey's the most popular.
26:44I think club sports,
26:46they might be the healthiest head space for people.
26:49And I think people that have played team sports
26:51and don't now, like at our age,
26:53we look back on those years as the fondest...
26:55Some of our fondest memories.
27:01The Freelunder ice hockey team
27:03have won the national championships five times.
27:06Today, some of the former players
27:07are going to put us through our paces.
27:09Quite fast, isn't it?
27:11Quite fast.
27:12Yeah.
27:14Now, when it comes to hockey,
27:15you might think it's all fistfights and missing teeth.
27:18But the sport also offers ageing athletes like us
27:22a full body workout.
27:24I've spotted one thing already, Pat.
27:26Yeah?
27:27They're all more your size than my size.
27:29They're huge.
27:30Even the small ones are foot taller than me.
27:35Have you told them you can do this?
27:37How can it be?
27:38Sliding about.
27:39We've all been on sledges as kids, haven't we?
27:42We're going to get absolutely hammered here.
27:45Hey.
27:46Only one way to find out.
27:48When in Sweden...
27:53Even Torvald and Dean had to start somewhere.
27:56So, before we're allowed to play with the big boys,
27:59we need to master the basics.
28:01Just hold on to the board for now.
28:04He's on.
28:05He's on.
28:06Good job.
28:12You are let go of the board, so now we can try.
28:14No, no.
28:15No, thank you.
28:18Actually, this is one of the few times
28:19you'll see him better than me at something.
28:22I think I'm going to take the goalie stint.
28:24I don't quite know how I'm going to do that,
28:26but apparently you can spend a lot of your time on your knees.
28:29Which is good.
28:31I'll tell you what.
28:34It's tiring, isn't it?
28:36The exhibition we've made of ourselves
28:37seems to have attracted attention.
28:40Impressive.
28:41You're a very kind man.
28:42I think we're finishing our practice here now,
28:44but we're going to play a little game.
28:46Are you kidding?
28:46You guys are keen?
28:47We're up for it.
28:48Can you really hit it as hard as you can against him?
28:52Because he likes that.
28:53We'll give it a shot.
28:54Yeah.
28:57Before we hit the ice, we need to loop the part.
29:00Time to get kitted out.
29:02How long have you all been in the team?
29:04We all come from different groups, different backgrounds,
29:07but, I mean, the majority of us here have probably been playing hockey
29:11since we're five or six years old.
29:12Wow.
29:13Right.
29:13Right, let's go.
29:14Let's go.
29:17Thank you!
29:18Bye-bye!
29:19Hey, you've got a game to play.
29:20Right, here we go.
29:21Oh!
29:22We're going to need some serious protection against this lot.
29:26Look at that.
29:28Shall I test it?
29:29No.
29:29Just a little, just a little gentle one.
29:31No, no, no, no.
29:32Come on.
29:33How's that?
29:33That's not bad.
29:34That's all right.
29:35That was enough.
29:36The lads have an average age of 50,
29:39but I think they're going to be skating rings around us.
29:42Oh, Chris looks well.
29:45All we need now is to put your padding on underneath.
29:53Time for talk is over,
29:56and these lads aren't messing about.
30:10What are they saying?
30:11I don't know.
30:11I think it says something about kill the goalie.
30:14Yeah.
30:25We've got all the gear, but no idea.
30:28Still, no turning back now.
30:29That's the fastest I've ever been.
30:31Fasic.
30:32Pads up front.
30:33Going for glory.
30:35I'm in goal-saving pucks.
30:37Here we go.
30:39All right, Paddy, you ready for this?
30:40Push me back.
30:42We're off.
30:43We're off.
30:44Which way are we shooting?
30:46Just like that, I've let one in already.
30:49Have this going?
30:55But as the saying goes,
30:57when the going gets tough, the tough get going.
31:01I think I might have cracked the ice.
31:08Can we get it together and pull this one out of the bag?
31:11Come on, Paddy.
31:13Of course not.
31:15Come on.
31:16Look at the back.
31:17Cheeks on.
31:18Chris!
31:19Any chance of you saving a couple?
31:21I'm trying, son.
31:22I'm trying.
31:27Come on, Paddy, son.
31:28Oh, God, here he comes.
31:30But with the crowd behind us,
31:32and time ticking away,
31:35safe hands Chris goes and pulls off an absolute worldie.
31:40Oh!
31:41I love it, Chris!
31:42I love it!
31:43I love it!
31:44I love it!
31:45Go, go, go, go, baby, go!
31:47This...
31:48Get in!
31:50Oh!
31:51It's an absolute screamer by Paddy the Daddy from Bolton.
31:55I think it's just scored!
31:56Paddy!
31:57Paddy!
31:58Paddy!
32:03I mean, I knew this was a tough sport anyhow,
32:06but I have got a newfound respect for these lot.
32:09Cheers, boys!
32:10Well done, gentlemen!
32:11Thanks for joining us!
32:12Boys!
32:12Boys!
32:12Thank you, boys!
32:17Thanks, guys.
32:18Cheers, pal.
32:20I've played Sunday League football most of my life.
32:22Never seen as much penis as I've been in Sweden.
32:24Very comfortable.
32:24It's like getting the penis out.
32:26Very comfortable.
32:27I tell you, some of them, you're looking at a way of getting fit,
32:30but having a bit of fun and camaraderie and what have you.
32:33This is perfect.
32:34Because, seriously, calories-wise,
32:36God knows how many calories we've burned off out there,
32:38but all the lads look after you.
32:40It's a great club.
32:41I think it's a good thing to do.
32:43I really do.
32:49My God.
32:51Haven't we got any Raoul Jacks?
32:54Where's Aris?
32:56Probably getting the coffees in.
33:11Has this got an eating seat on it?
33:13Is your seat really hot?
33:15No, mine's fine.
33:15They just...
33:17They didn't have eating seats.
33:19How was this car?
33:20What do you say?
33:20Early 90s.
33:21What is this car?
33:23Have I got an eating seat on?
33:24Or have I pissed myself?
33:27That's the age again.
33:32After a hard workout with the lads,
33:35we could do with a bit of a breather.
33:39That amusement park.
33:41I reckon we should get to that.
33:43Roll back the ears.
33:45Get on the old big one.
33:46Why?
33:47It's been a fun, isn't it?
33:48It's been a fun one.
33:53Liseberg is one of the most popular amusement parks in Europe.
33:57There's something for everyone.
33:59We've even got Chris a new set of wheels.
34:03Do you know?
34:04Our school, we did one trip a year to Alton Towers.
34:07that was our big trip and now schools they're going skiing in italy and i had a letter sent
34:15home for the kids the other week from school asking for permission for the kids to go to nasa
34:25nasa we went out and tell us once a year nasa i went what the nasa that was the quickest
34:34no ever
34:39there's something about a theme park it's just just makes you smile no this isn't just an excuse for
34:45us to mess about health aficionados say having fun boosts your immune system i love these places
34:52it reminds me of being young yeah and gives you a happy hormone hit you've absolutely smashed it
35:00and the biggest hit of all around here is this monster
35:07introducing the valkyria
35:11watch oh that's not good oh dear europe's longest dive coaster with a vertical drop of 50 meters
35:23blimey

35:55oh my god
36:27Ha ha ha!
36:28Ha ha ha ha!
36:30Whoo! Now I feel old.
36:33Do you know, when you're a child and your dad goes over a humpback bridge,
36:38you get that feeling in your stomach.
36:40Yeah.
36:40I got that in my stomach and in my anus.
36:44Both at the same time.
36:46But, hey, feel good.
36:56With all the exercise and fun stuff the Swedes get up to,
37:00it's no wonder they top the charts for health and happiness,
37:03while us Brits don't even make the top ten.
37:06I love a cornetto. I like a strawberry cornetto.
37:09Oh, yeah. Classic.
37:11I mean, they probably eat a bit better than us and all.
37:19I like to think I'm a healthy eater, but I'm probably not.
37:23What gives you that impression?
37:25I eat lots of it.
37:28Yeah, you know, cos when people say, what's Chris like, I go,
37:31he's great, but he's just always eating nuts and berries and fruit.
37:35You can't...
37:35You can't...
37:38You can't move in the car for bananas and nectarines.
37:44To be honest, when it comes to junk food,
37:46we're probably both as bad as each other,
37:48and we're definitely much worse than the Swedes.
37:51So we're off to find out about a superfood
37:53that's trending here right now.
37:56Hope it goes well with chips.
37:58Today is all about seaweed.
38:01Now, seaweed is supposed to be that rich in nutrients
38:05and good for you and everything else.
38:07This is all about what you put in your body.
38:10OK.
38:11Right?
38:12Do you like eating seaweed?
38:14Never tried it.
38:15No, I would say when it comes to sort of being an adventurous eater,
38:20you are definitely higher up the scale than me.
38:23I know five-year-olds that are further up the scale than you.
38:25Yeah.
38:25Honestly.
38:26I mean, it's not one of your strengths.
38:28No.
38:28You've got better over the time I've known you,
38:30but you like what you like, don't you?
38:31I like what I like.
38:33I'm very, very simple tastes.
38:35And my simple tastes don't normally run to munching on a load of seaweed.
38:40But, you know, maybe it's time for a change.
38:50We are absolutely surrounded now by the archipelagos.
38:54No, no.
38:55It's an archipelago.
38:57So, it's one body of islands.
38:59You can't have archipelagos.
39:02The archipelago contains the islands.
39:04It's a singular thing.
39:06Archipelago.
39:07Yeah.
39:07We're surrounded by the archipelago.
39:08Yeah, we are in the archipelago,
39:10and these are the islands that are in it.
39:11Do you know what?
39:12I wish I had your education.
39:15No.
39:15Because that has absolutely made that crystal clear for me.
39:20I just didn't want you making even more of a tit of yourself on television.
39:23Right, we're in the middle of archipelagos now.
39:26There's ten of them.
39:26It'd only be you who picks up on that.
39:30After 12 minutes of intense geography with Mr Harris,
39:33thankfully, class is dismissed.
39:37Something exciting about rolling off the ferry.
39:40Yeah.
39:40It's holiday time, Pat.
39:42I've got to say, it's holiday, isn't it?
39:54This is rather special.
39:57I mean, this could be in the Mediterranean.
39:58Can we find a beach bar?
40:00Oh, that'd be nice.
40:01Two bites of flulets loose, please.
40:06Here we go.
40:11Hello.
40:12Welcome.
40:13Here to tell us all about seaweed are expert Cassandra and Anna Lee.
40:17Today we are going out to the seaweed farm over there.
40:22So that's a farm?
40:23Yes.
40:23It's my farm.
40:25So we have the seaweed growing on ropes and we harvest like two months a year when the seaweed is
40:31fresh.
40:32Yeah.
40:32I'll let you know now.
40:34Paddy, when I first met him, was not the most adventurous eater.
40:37So really it was like KFC and we needed something we needed to have at McDonald's nearby.
40:41But he's getting so much better.
40:43Oh, wow.
40:43Three years ago he would never have eaten seaweed.
40:45But now he's so open-minded, he's going to eat raw seaweed.
40:48Oh, wow.
40:49When you first think of seaweed, you think about what you see as a kid at the beach and it
40:52doesn't really appeal to you.
40:54It's got bubbles in it as well.
40:55Yeah, it's got bubbles.
40:55The UK stuff has bubbles in it.
40:57Oh, no.
40:57Is it a dark green still?
40:59More brownish, I would say.
41:01Like gold, really.
41:03Gold.
41:07Where's the propeller?
41:09This is what we need.
41:11Sun, sea and spandau ballet.
41:14Come on, McGuinness.
41:15Oh, a bit of waves here, Captain.
41:19Oh, I've had.
41:20We have a scene in the UK, it's called shaking like a shitting dog.
41:30The thing with seaweed is that we're up here and it's down there.
41:34So to reach it you need a pair of lungs like Anna Lee's.
41:37She's a free diving world champion.
41:40How far down are you going?
41:41I'll see how deep it is, probably 10 metres.
41:44You have to do a routine first.
41:46Yeah, I usually take a few really deep breaths.
41:48So really oxygenate my lungs.
41:50Okay.
41:51And lower my heart rate.
41:52Just so to make you feel better, I was a lifeguard in the late 90s.
41:56That feels good.
41:57I think I've still got the techniques.
41:59That feels good.
41:59I'll try my best, but I'll be watching you.
42:01Very good.
42:01Okay.
42:02If I lose my breath, I'll call you.
42:14Graceful.
42:18Braving the North Sea for a bit of salad.
42:22Now that's what I call going the extra mile for one of you five a day.
42:27There you go.
42:28My life's too many lower.
42:30Whey!
42:30Whey!
42:33Brown gold.
42:34Right, I want to see you eat that, McGuinness.
42:36Try a piece of this.
42:37Doesn't smell it much, does it?
42:38Quite slimy.
42:40It's a little bit slimy.
42:41Yeah, yeah.
42:45Cheers.
42:46Cheers.
42:51Safe to say, the seaweed jury is definitely out.
42:56I've got to say, that is challenging.
42:58Because as you chew it, more of that sticky stuff comes out of it.
43:02White slimy in the back.
43:03And then you get the slightly fishy taste.
43:06It's amazing, it's not very salty.
43:08I thought it was going to be really overpowering with salt, but it's not.
43:12Back.
43:13Two ones.
43:13Aww.
43:14Beautiful.
43:15So, Cassandra, tell us about the sort of why this is good for you.
43:19What's in it?
43:21Yeah, we have a lot of vitamins.
43:23Yeah.
43:23Yeah, we have vitamin C and we have vitamin B12.
43:26Yeah.
43:26Some minerals.
43:28It includes that as well.
43:30Whey!
43:31Whey!
43:35Fresh foods next on the menu.
43:39Cooked up by local chef Jürgen, with, you've guessed it, a drizzle of seaweed.
43:45Oh, look at this pad.
43:46This is amazing.
43:48Even the wine's made with the stuff.
43:51Oh, that's lovely.
43:52Jürgen, is everything local produce?
43:55Everything is locally produced, yes.
43:57Oh, yes.
43:58So, the oysters out the sea, langousties out the sea.
44:02They're wild picked.
44:03Normally pad, they talk about food miles, this is food yards.
44:05Yeah, it's there.
44:06It's there, isn't it?
44:07Yeah, yeah, yeah.
44:09Look at this.
44:10I'm not a very adventurous eater.
44:12Chris loves these.
44:13I've never had one in my life.
44:15This will be my first ever time I've tried an oyster.
44:18Have you cooked a changed flavour?
44:21I'm having mine cooked.
44:22I'll try a cooked one.
44:23I'll try a cooked one.
44:24I'll never have one.
44:25Smoked seaweed butter.
44:27Oh.
44:28You are a changed man.
44:29I'm so proud of you.
44:30So proud of you.
44:32First oyster.
44:33Come on.
44:33Just shove it down, you got it.
44:35That'll all slide out.
44:36Well, give it, no, maybe give it a help.
44:48It's no fish finger.
44:51Oh, my, the expert.
44:53Oh, that's good.
44:54Yeah.
44:55It's always what they say.
44:55No, they're supposed to be an aphrodisiac.
44:57Yeah.
44:58I've always thought you were an attractive man.
44:59Is it a flip-flop?
45:02Shall I feed you an asparagus?
45:04Ah.
45:04Dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun.
45:08And here we have the dessert.
45:10It's seaweed candy.
45:12And in Swedish it's called sockerkaka.
45:17Very easy.
45:18Sorry.
45:18What's it called again?
45:19Sorry.
45:20Sockerkaka.
45:21Can you try it?
45:22He's had an oyster.
45:25Okay.
45:26Let's just call it cake.
45:27Okay.
45:27Let's move on.
45:28It's like a sugar cake.
45:30What a lovely picnic this is.
45:32Mmm.
45:33It's the best lunch ever.
45:35Oh, my word.
45:36Yeah.
45:37And then you have the seaweed candy.
45:39It's really nice.
45:41And...
45:41Oh.
45:42Oh.
45:43So you can use the seaweed in many ways.
45:45It's really fantastic.
45:47That, for me, I have got a sweet tooth.
45:49This candied seaweed with the cake is unbelievably good.
45:55That is really good.
45:56Mmm.
45:57That's cake made out of seaweed, isn't it?
45:59No.
45:59It's just cake.
46:01Fair enough.
46:08After eating more seaweed than we ever have in our lives,
46:12and probably ever will again,
46:14a beer's in order.
46:15So we're heading north to a scenic spot
46:17where I've arranged a nice surprise for Paddy.
46:21Bit more rural, this now, Pad.
46:22Yeah.
46:24Feels like we're moving into the territory
46:26of the kind of Nordic murder mystery.
46:30Oh, this is gorgeous.
46:31They've got bears up here.
46:33We're out in the woods.
46:34Well, you've booted it.
46:35Not me.
46:36It's always good to know what might eat you.
46:39Go on, then.
46:39Sweden's largest predator, the brown bear.
46:42Right.
46:42Here we go.
46:44Can weigh up to 350 kilograms.
46:46Wow.
46:47The lynx is the largest cat animal in Europe
46:50and the third largest predator in Sweden
46:52after the brown bear and the wolf.
46:55Bear, wolf, lynx.
47:17.
47:29Tonight's hot spot is one of Sweden's most picturesque lakes.
47:34It's the perfect place for a sundanner with my mate Pad.
47:38There we go.
47:38Look at this.
47:40Now, I know what you're going to say.
47:42Okay?
47:44That's right, Chris.
47:46We've still not found a pub.
47:48Just trust me, okay?
47:49Where's your adventure spirit?
47:51You are going to love this.
47:53Oh, life jackets on.
47:55Very nice.
47:57Don't say I don't treat you.
48:00We are at one with nature.
48:06Feel that breeze?
48:07Yes.
48:08Chilly.
48:10This lake is about 50 kilometres long, Pad.
48:13Bloody hell.
48:18And here comes our spectacular destination.
48:21The floaty shed.
48:23Our own little private cabin for two.
48:26Two middle-aged men drinking beer in a shed.
48:32I could have done that in Bolton.
48:34Are you beginning to get the scale of this?
48:36The nearer we get, it's still the same size.
48:39Normally, as you get near things, they grow bigger, don't they?
48:41This is still small.
48:43Right, come on, let's go.
48:44Special service for you there, Pad.
48:46Thank you, sir.
48:47Right.
48:48Now, let's have a look round.
48:49Don't go far.
48:51Come on, Pad.
48:51Look at this.
48:53Ah!
48:55Yeah, that works.
48:56Why do we do that?
48:57Well, you always do that on a new bed, don't you?
48:59You go out, that's the thing.
49:00Right, come for a beer.
49:01Oh, now you're talking.
49:05Well, I've been to a lot of beer gardens,
49:08but none of them have a view like this.
49:13Cheers.
49:14Ah!
49:16Free, love, slip.
49:19Where's the toilet?
49:37It's our final day in Sweden, and our adventure isn't quite over yet.
49:43We're heading further north into the wilderness, where we've set ourselves a challenge.
50:02We've gathered inspirational Swedish health tips, and we're going to live them in a free-love's-live kind of way.
50:08Come on!
50:10And what does this involve?
50:12Nothing less than a bespoke mini midlife triathlon.
50:16We'll kayak, hike and swim to a remote island, all in the name of health and happiness.
50:23Hello, I'm Chris.
50:25Pontus.
50:25Nice, Pontus.
50:26Paddy, nice to meet you.
50:27Local guide Pontus is helping us crack the first leg.
50:31Just glad to get out there and put everything we've learned this week into practice.
50:36Tricky thing is Chris at one end of the canoe, just the front of the boat like that.
50:41But other than that, all good.
50:49It's very pleasant.
50:51Hey, we've got a good rhythm going here, son.
50:53We have.
50:54But why can't you go a bit harder?
50:56Oh, do you want me to go harder?
50:57Yes.
50:57All right.
50:58You just told me not to go as hard.
50:59That's it.
51:00Now, that's good.
51:01No harder than that.
51:02We're good.
51:02All right, okay.
51:04No, you're going too hard now.
51:05You're being silly.
51:06Oh, my God.
51:07Do you want me to go hard, or son?
51:08It's like my bloody honeymoon, this.
51:11Good work, guys.
51:15Do you know, looking at your arse from this angle...
51:18Yep.
51:19..is...
51:20..a joy.
51:21Probably one of the hardest things I've had to endure this week.
51:27Next, it's a climb through dense forest with some bespoke walking sticks.
51:32Have you got a thicker branch for Chrissie's sticks?
51:35I think that might buckle.
51:36Thank you, I like that.
51:41Look at the size of that pad.
51:44This is what it's all about.
51:47This reminds me of the Rocky IV training montage.
51:50Yes.
51:51Guys, we're here.
51:52There we go.
51:53Oh, beautiful.
51:54Good work.
51:57So, the idea is that I leave you now.
51:59We are on the top there, and you should keep it in that direction
52:04and head straight down there.
52:07Right.
52:08OK?
52:08OK.
52:09Yep.
52:10From here on in, we're on our own.
52:22Take a steady downhill, please, Patrick.
52:25Yep.
52:26Slow and steady wins the race.
52:28Oh, this is tricky.
52:30Oh!
52:31Going downhill, if you notice, as you get older,
52:34you make involuntary noises.
52:35So, everything's got a ooh or an ah or a ooh.
52:39It's the knees in it as you're going downhill.
52:42Right.
52:43Patrick?
52:44Yeah?
52:44There is an animal dropping there.
52:46Quite a big animal.
52:48What's the problem?
52:49It means that there's a large animal on this island.
52:52I'm looking at it.
52:53Let's go.
52:57Just think this has been here for thousands of years.
53:02Give it a little pat as you go past.
53:04It's thousands of years old and it's got more hair on its head than you.
53:07Look.
53:07Look at that.
53:08Male rock boldness.
53:12I've got an ant in my shoe now.
53:14It won't last long in the...
53:16Do you know, it's something about, isn't there?
53:18Getting out with your mates in this kind of scenery.
53:22It is good.
53:23It's good for the soul.
53:24I know, it is.
53:26Also, talking rubbish.
53:27Just bobbins.
53:28Yeah.
53:29I love talking bobbins, Pad.
53:31Yep.
53:31Made a career out of it.
53:34Oh!
53:35Oh, sugar!
53:36Yeah, be careful.
53:37You all right?
53:37What was that?
53:38Er, ground.
53:41Getting a bit dense now, Chris.
53:45Wow.
53:46How long do you think these trees have been here?
53:51I mean, they're hundreds, aren't they?
53:52Hundreds of years, probably.
53:56I think I can see a little bit of water through the clearing up there.
54:00Oh, yes.
54:07Oh, look at that!
54:10That's a sight for sore eyes.
54:13Quite steep down there, Pad.
54:14It is steep, isn't it, actually?
54:16Bloody hell.
54:17I can spot the signs of a campfire through there.
54:19Oh, lovely.
54:20Can you see it?
54:20Yeah.
54:21But between that and us is a body of water, Patrick.
54:26Chris's keen powers of observation tee up the next part of the endurance test.
54:31An ice-cold swim.
54:34Oh, no.
54:34Cover the kids' eyes.
54:36Little treat for you there, Pad.
54:38Let's do it.
54:40Hey, it's a bit slippy, Chris.
54:41Oh, shit!
54:45Oh, shit!
54:46That is really...
54:47Oh, that's cold.
54:48Oh, that's cold.
54:51Oh!
54:53Oh!
54:53Take on me.
54:57Take on me.
54:59Take on me.
55:02Oh, take on me.
55:04Take on me.
55:05Oh, take on me.
55:07Take on me.
55:08Oh, take on me.
55:09Take on me.
55:11Better prepare ourselves for that Daniel Craig exit.
55:14Oh, yeah.
55:16Oh, right.
55:17Right, get the music going.
55:26He's a bit like that.
55:29Look, he does that.
55:35He's out of breath. Has he got little booties on as well?
55:41Let's enjoy this. Look at that.
55:44Love it. Absolutely glorious, Pad.
55:49Three lifts, love!
55:52Three lifts, love!
56:05Oh, that's nice now, isn't it?
56:11Look at this.
56:14Oh, that's nice.
56:15Yeah.
56:16This'll warm us up a bit. Some Nordic fire water.
56:20That smells lovely.
56:23This is lovely, isn't it?
56:25It's gorgeous, Pad.
56:26Hey. Skull. Skull.
56:28Skull.
56:35Have you necked all that?
56:38You could run a car on that, Pad. That's good gear.
56:41I enjoyed that swim.
56:43I've seen a different side to both of us on this trip.
56:47It's been amazing.
56:49And it's such a beautiful place. It's so calming.
56:52But I think I've took little bits of everything we've done, from the boys at the sauna, the ice hockey
56:57team, the seaweed, this today.
57:00Yeah.
57:01I agree.
57:02This week's taught me, get outside more.
57:04Yeah.
57:05Eat well.
57:06Chat.
57:07Chat.
57:07Swim.
57:08Yeah.
57:10You can turn things round.
57:15Ooh.
57:16Good.
57:17Nice.
57:20Look at that. He's pulling me in the lad.
57:23No!
57:26Oh!
57:28Whee!
57:31I think you've kind of... something's sort of flicked in your mind, hasn't it?
57:36Outdoors is the key thing, as well, for me. I think there's something in here. There's a chip in everyone.
57:41We were born out here, originally, and Sweden is the best place for that, that I've come across.
57:46You don't have to be a gym person. It's about finding what you love doing.
57:53One question for you.
57:54Yeah?
57:55When we're, like, 70, 80 years old, will gravity do to us what it did to them?
58:01In the sauna?
58:02Yeah.
58:03I'm hoping by then they might be, like, er...
58:06You know, like, you can have Botox.
58:08Yeah.
58:09Scrotox.
58:10That should sort them right out.
58:13Sign me in.
58:17See that there?
58:18That's the island of Icaria!
58:20The island of longevity!
58:21Jamás!
58:22Jamás!
58:23One in three people live it to the 90s.
58:25What is the secret?
58:27I had about one second off.
58:29Story of my life, really.
58:30Look at it!
58:31It's about half a mile high.
58:33You see where the big jugs are?
58:34I beg your pardon.
58:36I can't hold on.
58:37This is the only way to travel.
58:40Icaria, baby!
58:40Icaria, baby!
58:49Icaria, baby!
