Matt Baker and Ellie Harrison head to Scotland to explore Loch Etive. The fast, white waters make it the perfect training ground for the RNLI's international flood rescue team, as Matt finds out when he joins their ranks for the day. Meanwhile, Ellie discovers how a fluke of nature has brought local mussel farms to the brink of collapse and explores the industrial heritage behind one of Scotland's most beautiful landscapes.

And with more and more of us choosing to holiday in Britain, John Craven investigates the impact of the "staycation" on our countryside. Down on the farm, harvest is nearing its end - but has it proved fruitful for Adam?

Plus a reminder of how to vote for your favourite image in the Countryfile Photographic Competition.
