:00:28. > :00:30.Hello, and welcome to North Yorkshire,
:00:31. > :00:33.in the shadow of the magnificent Byland Abbey,
:00:34. > :00:36.where four countries are about to go head to head, nose to tail,
:00:37. > :00:39.hoping to be crowned champions of Countryfile's
:00:40. > :00:44.Yes, we have got the best of the best,
:00:45. > :00:46.who are hoping to give us a masterclass
:00:47. > :00:48.in how man and dog can work in perfect harmony.
:00:49. > :00:50.And over there, perched on the bales,
:00:51. > :00:53.friends and family waiting in nervous anticipation.
:00:54. > :00:55.Now, Bob and I are going to be spending the afternoon
:00:56. > :00:58.in the commentary box, talking you through the action.
:00:59. > :01:00.While you're doing that, I will be revealing
:01:01. > :01:03.why this abbey was once at the heart of Britain's wool trade,
:01:04. > :01:11.and finding out why there are pink sheep dotted all over these hills.
:01:12. > :01:14.The rural majesty of heather moorlands.
:01:15. > :01:17.Over 550 square miles of breathtaking beauty
:01:18. > :01:20.make up the North York Moors National Park.
:01:21. > :01:24.Tucked away in a remote corner is Byland Abbey.
:01:25. > :01:28.It's been associated with sheep farming since medieval times.
:01:29. > :01:31.Now, One Man And His Dog might not be that old,
:01:32. > :01:35.but it has been celebrating the art of sheepdog trialling
:01:36. > :01:39.since 1976, bringing together the best shepherding talent
:01:40. > :01:46.For this year's competition, our handlers and their dogs
:01:47. > :01:53.from the farthest reaches of the Scottish Highlands
:01:54. > :01:56.to the Atlantic shores of Ireland's west coast,
:01:57. > :02:07.For one day, they'll all come together here, to take part in
:02:08. > :02:12.one of sheepdog trialling's most hotly contested competitions.
:02:13. > :02:22.All of our senior competitors are champions from their home nation,
:02:23. > :02:26.but they are only half of the story, because they're paired with
:02:27. > :02:29.the up-and-coming talent of four young handlers.
:02:30. > :02:33.It's their combined performances that will determine which nation
:02:34. > :02:36.walks away with the trophy and the One Man And His Dog title.
:02:37. > :02:46.The winner of One Man And His Dog 2014 is...
:02:47. > :02:49.And it is those young handlers who will be the first to
:02:50. > :02:54.To walk you through the course they'll be taking on,
:02:55. > :02:57.representing Team Countryfile, it's Matt and his dog Bob.
:02:58. > :03:01.In our trial, everybody starts with 100 points,
:03:02. > :03:05.and the idea is to hang onto as many as possible,
:03:06. > :03:09.so this is what is in store after that nerve-racking walk
:03:10. > :03:12.to the handler's post. The dog is then faced with five sheep
:03:13. > :03:15.at the far end of the field, up there in the distance.
:03:16. > :03:17.Now, the handler can choose to send their dog
:03:18. > :03:21.either out to the right-hand side, which is "away",
:03:22. > :03:23.or off to the left, which is "come by",
:03:24. > :03:27.hoping for 20 points and the perfect start to their trial.
:03:28. > :03:30.This first part is called the outrun,
:03:31. > :03:34.with the dog running a distance of 250 yards to meet the sheep.
:03:35. > :03:37.Then it's the lift, as the dog starts to move
:03:38. > :03:40.the sheep in a controlled manner back towards the handler.
:03:41. > :03:48.Having executed the lift nice and gently, it's then on to the fetch.
:03:49. > :03:52.The idea here is that the dog brings all five sheep
:03:53. > :03:54.through these fetch gates in the middle of the field
:03:55. > :03:57.and on to the handler at the post.
:03:58. > :04:00.Now, 20 points are available for this bit,
:04:01. > :04:04.and once the sheep have rounded the handler, it's then on to the drive.
:04:05. > :04:10.The drive is a journey consisting of two drive gates,
:04:11. > :04:13.which all five sheep must be guided through.
:04:14. > :04:17.The dog needs to keep the sheep moving at a steady pace here,
:04:18. > :04:22.and this element is crucial as a massive 30 points are on offer.
:04:23. > :04:25.Then, it's on to their penultimate challenge.
:04:26. > :04:28.This is when the trial will get very, very interesting.
:04:29. > :04:31.It's the first time that the handler can leave their post.
:04:32. > :04:36.Now, the aim here is to take the flock through
:04:37. > :04:38.the middle of the cross, ignoring the exits at the top
:04:39. > :04:42.and at the bottom, which will be very, very tempting for the sheep.
:04:43. > :04:46.So, this is the point at which the trial could be won or lost.
:04:47. > :04:50.Come on, Bob, we're almost there. Come on, son.
:04:51. > :04:52.10 points are on offer at the Maltese cross,
:04:53. > :04:56.and then it's on to the final challenge, the pen,
:04:57. > :05:02.The course is completed when all five sheep are herded in
:05:03. > :05:06.and the gate is closed, with all our competitors hoping to get
:05:07. > :05:11.as close as possible to that maximum total score of 100 points.
:05:12. > :05:14.Well, as if all of that isn't difficult enough,
:05:15. > :05:18.the whole course has to be completed within 12 minutes.
:05:19. > :05:20.It looks like everybody is ready, Bob.
:05:21. > :05:23.Shall we get into the commentary box? Come on, then.
:05:24. > :05:31.Already set and ready for the off are our two judges
:05:32. > :05:37.One Man And His Dog's first ever female winner, Katy Cropper,
:05:38. > :05:42.and alongside her, a man whose catalogue of awards includes
:05:43. > :05:46.three supreme championships, Bobby Dalziel
:05:47. > :05:50.Completing our line-up with me in the commentary box is this man,
:05:51. > :05:54.the International Sheepdog Society's Andy Jackman.
:05:55. > :05:57.Andy, we are in for a treat. I think we are.
:05:58. > :06:00.I hope everybody at home enjoys this as much as we will.
:06:01. > :06:04.Rather than drawing straws, we drew sheep earlier,
:06:05. > :06:09.which means that kicking off the competition,
:06:10. > :06:13.it'll be 18-year-old Allan McKenzie with his dog Coal.
:06:14. > :06:16.When he was a pup, he was the runt of the litter.
:06:17. > :06:20.to a possible One Man And His Dog champion.
:06:21. > :06:28.All set and ready, and his trial is away, Andy.
:06:29. > :06:31.Yes, and the dog started off on a good line, too.
:06:32. > :06:36.There's less ground to cover on the right, but he's a bit shallow now.
:06:37. > :06:40.Now, his problem here will be if he pushes the sheep off the post.
:06:41. > :06:44.The judges haven't been too harsh. 15 for the outrun. There you go.
:06:45. > :06:48.They've come off now. Now he's pushed them off the line.
:06:49. > :06:53.Obviously, the key with the outrun is not to push them too much
:06:54. > :06:56.and then get that nice, gentle lift. They're off to a pace now.
:06:57. > :06:58.Yes, and not only are they off to a pace,
:06:59. > :07:06.Because of that, they've now skipped the gate.
:07:07. > :07:11.We shall see what happens when they go off up the hill.
:07:12. > :07:23.And this is the point of balance. This is what we're talking about.
:07:24. > :07:26.The dog doesn't want to get too close to the sheep
:07:27. > :07:30.No, because once they start running here, they'll just continue
:07:31. > :07:37.Coal! He is OK. He has lined up nicely.
:07:38. > :07:41.Ah, there's one looking the wrong way.
:07:42. > :07:43.If he's not careful he'll be under the gate.
:07:44. > :07:47.He's straightened them up. Oh, that's good. Caught it nicely.
:07:48. > :07:51.Just 9 points lost, then, on that drive. 21 scored.
:07:52. > :07:56.The dog and handler position absolutely key now,
:07:57. > :08:01.Now, he has got plenty of pressure on here.
:08:02. > :08:06.He needs to be back towards the dog a bit.
:08:07. > :08:12.Now, he has to be careful here, because the dog... Yes, yes.
:08:13. > :08:18.This is what is so difficult for the younger handlers, isn't it?
:08:19. > :08:24.He needed his dog ten yards further back at that cross,
:08:25. > :08:28.so that they settled in the mouth, rather than towards Allan.
:08:29. > :08:33.Now, let's go again. He's far better placed. Oh, this looks very good.
:08:34. > :08:38.Oh, missed... Well, that's the danger.
:08:39. > :08:43.but all five sheep have to go through the middle of that cross,
:08:44. > :08:50.and it'll have to start all over again.
:08:51. > :08:53.And, of course, points are going. Yes.
:08:54. > :08:58.Are they all going to go through? Come on, come on, be kind.
:08:59. > :09:02.He's salvaged that and now he's in position to move forward.
:09:03. > :09:05.Just 1 scored for the Maltese cross.
:09:06. > :09:09.I'm afraid that's all he could expect from that.
:09:10. > :09:13.Again, Coal is just pushing the sheep onto Allan.
:09:14. > :09:16.That's caused the burst at the pen there.
:09:17. > :09:26.No, keep cool, keep cool. Down. Down.
:09:27. > :09:40.A steady start from our first pairing of Allan McKenzie and Coal.
:09:41. > :09:43.What cost them dear, though, was the Maltese cross,
:09:44. > :09:52.Allan, congratulations, They are in the pen.
:09:53. > :09:55.You had the unenviable task of leading out the competition today.
:09:56. > :10:00.I could have done better picking them up and a bit better at the pen,
:10:01. > :10:03.but that's just not my luck today. A score of 58.
:10:04. > :10:13.Next up for Wales, it's this year's youngest handler,
:10:14. > :10:17.and the competition's only female, 15-year-old Elin Hope.
:10:18. > :10:25.the tension is rising for her and her mum.
:10:26. > :10:27.How are you feeling? Slightly nervous.
:10:28. > :10:33.She doesn't normally get nervous at normal trials,
:10:34. > :10:38.but I think she's a little bit today.
:10:39. > :10:41.Here we go, then. A score of 58 to beat.
:10:42. > :10:43.She's come deep into the field at the bottom,
:10:44. > :10:47.outside the second drive gates, but heading towards the sheep.
:10:48. > :10:51.She's shallow now. Just a little tight maybe? Yes, she's tight.
:10:52. > :10:54.16 scored for the outrun, so just one more than Allan.
:10:55. > :11:04.Ideally looking for a straight line from that lift
:11:05. > :11:08.Yes, she has drifted, but she's straightened them up.
:11:09. > :11:10.They've come across now. She's on the line.
:11:11. > :11:13.Right through the middle. Yes, going nicely.
:11:14. > :11:19.Come on. Yes, she's having to encourage floss a little bit. Away.
:11:20. > :11:22.Away. The problem is that Floss is spending
:11:23. > :11:25.a fair bit of time on her belly, and she's up and down, up and down,
:11:26. > :11:27.and that's drawing the attention of the sheep.
:11:28. > :11:30.They've all turned to look at the dog now.
:11:31. > :11:33.She is nearly underneath them, see? Yes. So she's too low, almost?
:11:34. > :11:37.Well, yes. And she's putting in a short flank there,
:11:38. > :11:40.which has spooked them a little. Now, she has got to turn.
:11:41. > :11:43.Question is whether they run off up the drive. There they go.
:11:44. > :11:46.Now, she's going to have to keep her contact with it.
:11:47. > :11:49.The judges will look for the dog to stay in contact with the sheep,
:11:50. > :11:55.Pace is on now, and Floss is right up behind them.
:11:56. > :11:58.Oh, it's going to be tight, this. Yes.
:11:59. > :12:02.They're through! Well, fortune favours the brave, yes?
:12:03. > :12:10.So, Elin just making her way over to this Maltese cross.
:12:11. > :12:15.Allan had a few problems here. Now, she's well placed now.
:12:16. > :12:18.Come on, come on. They're where they want to be.
:12:19. > :12:21.She's got to get their heads to turn and look.
:12:22. > :12:27.Nicely through. Well done. Just one point lost on that Maltese cross.
:12:28. > :12:34.So, regrouping the sheep, as Elin moves over to open the gate.
:12:35. > :12:38.Floss just came onto the sheep and has pushed one round back.
:12:39. > :12:41.That has rather spoiled that. What a shame.
:12:42. > :12:54.Well, Elin will know that time is ticking, we're under a minute now.
:12:55. > :13:01.Ooh! There's a flash of it there, of what could be.
:13:02. > :13:16.There's our little stopwatch in the commentary box. That's gone off.
:13:17. > :13:21.So, that is time up. That will be no score at the pen.
:13:22. > :13:25.What a shame, because it was such a good round up till then.
:13:26. > :13:29.A frustrating finish, but thanks to a flying start,
:13:30. > :13:37.Elin, brilliant round, but you just ran out of time on that final pen.
:13:38. > :13:41.Quite frustrating, because the dog worked hard to try
:13:42. > :13:44.and get them in, but there was no way that they would go in.
:13:45. > :13:48.Those sheep were just so stubborn, weren't they? They were so stubborn.
:13:49. > :13:51.But your Maltese cross was brilliant, your drive up the hill
:13:52. > :13:54.was pretty harum-scarum - what was going on there?
:13:55. > :13:56.She pushed them a bit too hard, and they just ran,
:13:57. > :14:00.so it was a bit panicky. But you got them back under control. Yes.
:14:01. > :14:03.And even though you didn't get a score in the pen,
:14:04. > :14:06.you are currently top of the leaderboard with 60 points.
:14:07. > :14:09.How do you feel about that? Happy, yes. Well done, Elin. Thank you.
:14:10. > :14:12.So, halfway through our young handlers,
:14:13. > :14:14.it's the Welsh who are top of the table.
:14:15. > :14:22.With Ireland and England still to run, the field is wide open.
:14:23. > :14:24.Now, every nation is hungry to claim its piece
:14:25. > :14:27.of One Man And His Dog history here today,
:14:28. > :14:35.and there's no better place to do it, as Helen's been finding out.
:14:36. > :14:38.Watching over the excitement of the sheepdog trials,
:14:39. > :14:48.Alongside its Yorkshire neighbours of Rievaulx and Fountains,
:14:49. > :14:53.it was one of the three shining lights of the North.
:14:54. > :14:58.this was England's largest monastic church,
:14:59. > :15:01.an economic powerhouse that dominated the landscape,
:15:02. > :15:09.and it was all built on the back of sheep.
:15:10. > :15:12.So, that's the rose window? Yeah, yeah. Absolutely enormous.
:15:13. > :15:15.It's 13th century. This stuff doesn't come cheap.
:15:16. > :15:17.This is the top-notch architecture of the day.
:15:18. > :15:20.Mark Douglas is a senior curator for English Heritage,
:15:21. > :15:27.and today, he's giving me a guided tour around the ruins of the Abbey.
:15:28. > :15:30.What would it have been like eight centuries ago in here?
:15:31. > :15:33.Quiet, to be fair. It'd be very, very quiet.
:15:34. > :15:36.It's one of the biggest Cistercian churches, in fact,
:15:37. > :15:39.one of the biggest monastic churches in Britain, a huge space.
:15:40. > :15:43.Outside, on the other hand, it would be a different story altogether,
:15:44. > :15:46.because it'd be a real hotbed of activity.
:15:47. > :16:01.Known as the White Monks for their raw, uncoloured woollen habits,
:16:02. > :16:04.the Cistercians transformed Byland's marshlands
:16:05. > :16:10.This was a slick operation. It was like a futures market.
:16:11. > :16:12.They would sell wool in advance of actually producing it,
:16:13. > :16:15.so they basically took money loans for wool and paid it back in wool.
:16:16. > :16:19.to how you think the monks were living.
:16:20. > :16:22.In my head, they were leading very simple lives, very quiet,
:16:23. > :16:24.very withdrawn, yet it doesn't sound like that.
:16:25. > :16:29.So all this stuff they've got, all this wonderful architecture,
:16:30. > :16:31.was all paid for, effectively, by business,
:16:32. > :16:36.and effectively most of it was paid for by wool.
:16:37. > :16:40.King Henry VIII's dissolution of the monasteries
:16:41. > :16:43.brought all that crashing down, leading to Byland,
:16:44. > :17:01.like countless other Abbeys, being reduced to the ruins we see today.
:17:02. > :17:06.sheep have once again returned to this site,
:17:07. > :17:11.and we have a power struggle of our own on our hands here today.
:17:12. > :17:14.Up next and hoping he can help retain the title for Ireland
:17:15. > :17:19.is 17-year-old Caleb O'Keeffe, with dog Tess by his side,
:17:20. > :17:27.What pointers have you given him after those two rounds? None.
:17:28. > :17:30.Leave it to him. Leave it to himself.
:17:31. > :17:32.Is it not tempting, though, as his dad...
:17:33. > :17:34.I would love to, yes, but he's his own mind made up,
:17:35. > :17:40.If he makes a mistake, he can't blame me!
:17:41. > :17:47.So, going it alone, it's Caleb and Tess.
:17:48. > :17:49.So, our penultimate young handler, then,
:17:50. > :17:53.in this year's One Man And His Dog. They're not messing around at all.
:17:54. > :17:57.He sends 5?-year-old Tess out to the left-hand side,
:17:58. > :18:02.Indeed, yes, and taking a good line out.
:18:03. > :18:04.This looks like a very good outrun indeed.
:18:05. > :18:08.Looking for that stop at the 12 o'clock position.
:18:09. > :18:14.Just pushed on a bit there, and pushing on still.
:18:15. > :18:19.Seven scored for the lift. Lie down!
:18:20. > :18:22.Well, there's no question who's boss here.
:18:23. > :18:25.Lie down! You can just hear it in Caleb's voice there.
:18:26. > :18:33.Things are nicely settled down on this stretch. Hit the fetch gates.
:18:34. > :18:46.And... She was plenty tight enough there.
:18:47. > :18:49.And now she's rattled the sheep. She's rattled them.
:18:50. > :18:57.And now there's far too much pace on approaching that gate,
:18:58. > :19:06.Caleb's hanging on, and he's put a big bend in there, a big bend.
:19:07. > :19:08.Oh, he's saved it, though, Andy. Yes, he has. He's come back,
:19:09. > :19:13.got through the gate. 14 scored for the drive.
:19:14. > :19:16.And gently towards the Maltese cross. Lie down!
:19:17. > :19:19.Caleb in a perfect position here. Yes, he's well placed now.
:19:20. > :19:34.Now, Alan and Caleb are neck and neck,
:19:35. > :19:41.Get up, get up! Get at it! Lie down! Out!
:19:42. > :19:49.And I think we could probably say there was an aggressive sniff there.
:19:50. > :19:57.whether or not there should be a disqualification, and...
:19:58. > :20:00.It's a disqualification for Caleb and Tess.
:20:01. > :20:05.Well, Caleb, he finishes the job off just to prove that he could do it,
:20:06. > :20:08.but those points at the pen will not count
:20:09. > :20:16.so, Caleb and Tess finish with a score of 60.
:20:17. > :20:20.An impressive performance from Caleb and Tess ends in disappointment
:20:21. > :20:25.at the pen, as Tess nips one of the sheep and is disqualified.
:20:26. > :20:27.That means no points are scored for this section,
:20:28. > :20:31.although their marks up to this point do still stand.
:20:32. > :20:35.So even with zero for the pen, they end on 60 overall,
:20:36. > :20:40.and it means they're neck and neck with Wales.
:20:41. > :20:43.Caleb, quite a rapid round. How do you think you did?
:20:44. > :20:48.You want the dog to be keen, but you don't want them to be too close.
:20:49. > :20:50.How difficult is it to strike that balance?
:20:51. > :20:53.She can be pushy with you. Sometimes she can be hard to handle.
:20:54. > :20:56.You have to keep her down and keep the distance back from the sheep.
:20:57. > :20:58.Maybe she's just excited she was on telly, Caleb?
:20:59. > :21:00.Congratulations, Caleb. 60 points on the board.
:21:01. > :21:06.So, as we head into our final Young Handlers round,
:21:07. > :21:12.So far, the course has caught everyone out, with gates missed,
:21:13. > :21:18.a costly Maltese Cross, and a pen that's claimed two victims so far.
:21:19. > :21:21.What a time for England's 15-year-old Alex Briggs
:21:22. > :21:24.to make his entrance, with the competition's youngest
:21:25. > :21:28.and most inexperienced dog, two-year-old Rio.
:21:29. > :21:32.Is he taking a gamble on bringing a dog so young?
:21:33. > :21:35.Probably. Probably a bit of a gamble,
:21:36. > :21:40.but he's confident enough to handle it.
:21:41. > :21:43.Now, Andy, we have seen it all, haven't we? We certainly have.
:21:44. > :21:48.There's just two points between all three of the handlers.
:21:49. > :21:52.What is in store for Alex and Rio? Let's find out.
:21:53. > :21:55.It looks like he's all set and ready to go left.
:21:56. > :22:02.He's the youngest dog, and he has the advantage of knowing
:22:03. > :22:07.what's gone before him, so the percentages could be played.
:22:08. > :22:10.He's landed short, but he'll get away with that.
:22:11. > :22:14.11 scored out of 20 for the outrun.
:22:15. > :22:18.There's some forceful voice commands going in.
:22:19. > :22:23.Six for the lift, so the pressure's on now.
:22:24. > :22:33.Pressure's off. The dog's giving on the flank.
:22:34. > :22:39.It's the highest fetch score that we've seen,
:22:40. > :22:44.The sheep are just picking up the pace now.
:22:45. > :22:47.He's going to have to straighten them up.
:22:48. > :22:57.but this looks like a winning performance to me so far.
:22:58. > :22:59.Well, yeah, don't speak too soon, Matt!
:23:00. > :23:03.There's plenty of time for it to go belly up yet.
:23:04. > :23:06.And they're now in the mouth of the gate, needs a very sharp left.
:23:07. > :23:09.A very sharp left. Well, you wouldn't believe it, would you?
:23:10. > :23:25.Now, he's rolled them. There's an opportunity.
:23:26. > :23:31.He's got a job to do here. Come on, Alex, straight through.
:23:32. > :23:34.Sometimes, just freshening them up, taking them away
:23:35. > :23:37.and bringing them back is worth the effort. Yes, it's a fresh approach.
:23:38. > :23:41.It's all about approach to an obstacle such as a Maltese Cross.
:23:42. > :23:48.They're through. Four scored for the Maltese cross.
:23:49. > :23:55.at this pen to win the Young Handlers.
:23:56. > :23:59.Yeah, unfortunately, he's taken the sheep to the back of the pen,
:24:00. > :24:08.We're facing the wrong way. We need to be turned.
:24:09. > :24:13.APPLAUSE They're in!
:24:14. > :24:17.This now is in the hands of the judges.
:24:18. > :24:22.They score five for the pen, so not enough to win.
:24:23. > :24:30.So, 58 for the round, not enough to take top spot,
:24:31. > :24:39.It's a close competition, two points between all four of you.
:24:40. > :24:41.What do you think now we're going into the senior competition?
:24:42. > :24:46.Everything can go wrong that quick, but I'm pretty confident.
:24:47. > :24:49.It is so unpredictable out there, isn't it? Yeah, it is.
:24:50. > :24:55.Top dog, Rio and Alex. All right, thank you.
:24:56. > :24:57.That brings us to the end of the young handlers' half
:24:58. > :25:03.of this competition, and this is how the teams currently stand.
:25:04. > :25:06.Leading the pack are Wales and Ireland, both having notched up
:25:07. > :25:16.England and Scotland share third place with 58 each.
:25:17. > :25:26.But it's these scores combined with the performance
:25:27. > :25:31.that will determine our overall winners.
:25:32. > :25:38.how are they feeling about the task that faces them?
:25:39. > :25:40.You lads have it all to do. What's your plan?
:25:41. > :25:45.and try to get round with not too many problems.
:25:46. > :25:47.Yeah. It's actually very, very interesting
:25:48. > :25:50.watching the outrun and the way that handlers are choosing
:25:51. > :25:54.Which way are you going to be chucking Ben?
:25:55. > :25:57.I don't chuck 'em, but I think I'll be heading right, yes.
:25:58. > :26:03.It's a little tighter, but it's a little safer, I think.
:26:04. > :26:06.The other side has got a big bit of open ground,
:26:07. > :26:10.This is really the first time that you lads are talking about this,
:26:11. > :26:13.because you keep your cards quite close to your chest, don't you?
:26:14. > :26:17.No, I always make out I'm going to do terrible, so let everyone know!
:26:18. > :26:20.Listen, we wish you all the very best.
:26:21. > :26:22.We'll let you disappear and get yourselves sorted out,
:26:23. > :26:25.because Michael, I know that you are up first.
:26:26. > :26:27.Now, of course, Helen has been finding out
:26:28. > :26:30.that the founding fathers of sheep farming here at Byland
:26:31. > :26:45.but the modern-day monks are working the land in a very different way.
:26:46. > :26:51.but there is one aspect of monastic life still going strong
:26:52. > :27:01.Since 1802, Ampleforth Abbey has been home to a community of monks
:27:02. > :27:05.who seek God according to the Gospel and the rule of St Benedict.
:27:06. > :27:11.Father Terence Richardson is the prior of Ampleforth.
:27:12. > :27:16.but you've actually got things here from there, haven't you?
:27:17. > :27:19.We have, and this altar slab came from Byland.
:27:20. > :27:22.We think this was the high altar from Byland Abbey.
:27:23. > :27:26.It was given to us in about 1870, and we're delighted to have it,
:27:27. > :27:28.and very privileged to have it, as a connection to Byland.
:27:29. > :27:31.Because you've got something else as well, haven't you, from Byland?
:27:32. > :27:35.Up on the wall here, there is a representation of the Trinity.
:27:36. > :27:38.It's probably late 14th or early 15th century,
:27:39. > :27:41.so not very long before Byland closed.
:27:42. > :27:44.it's incredible to think that something survived.
:27:45. > :27:56.Yeah. And these did. Yeah. Yeah.
:27:57. > :28:03.Benedictine monks are also expected to pay their way.
:28:04. > :28:06.But you won't find any sheep in this flock.
:28:07. > :28:09.Ampleforth has gained a reputation for selling something
:28:10. > :28:14.not normally associated with monks, or Yorkshire, for that matter.
:28:15. > :28:21.Boasting some 2,000 trees and more than 40 varieties of apple,
:28:22. > :28:28.nearly 40,000 bottles of the stuff every year.
:28:29. > :28:30.And the business of picking and pressing
:28:31. > :28:36.Cameron, I was expecting to see you in a monks habit!
:28:37. > :28:40.Tell me about these apples, then, because there are loads around,
:28:41. > :28:44.No, these are all either eaters or cookers,
:28:45. > :28:46.cos we actually make a different type of cider
:28:47. > :28:50.They make it with traditional cider apples.
:28:51. > :28:53.We don't have any of them, so we have to make it from the apples
:28:54. > :28:57.that most people grow, Bramleys, Grenadiers of cooker sort of type.
:28:58. > :29:00.So if you're blending different kinds of apples,
:29:01. > :29:04.Well, it does anyway through the season, because what you get
:29:05. > :29:07.in the early season is quite thin juice, because they've not been
:29:08. > :29:09.on the tree very long, then at the end of the season,
:29:10. > :29:11.you get a much more full-bodied juice,
:29:12. > :29:16.Are you busy now? Yes, we are. Pressing? Correct.
:29:17. > :29:31.'Cameron has got plenty of jobs to keep me busy.'
:29:32. > :29:37.'First, the apples are washed and drawn up into the shredder.'
:29:38. > :29:40.Out it comes. Oh, yes, it's got the skin on, hasn't it?
:29:41. > :29:45.'The shredded apples are parcelled up into what are known as cheeses
:29:46. > :29:48.'before the next loads are sandwiched on top.'
:29:49. > :29:50.That does smell delicious. It's fabulous - you could eat it.
:29:51. > :29:52.Yeah, with ice cream, that'd be brilliant.
:29:53. > :29:57.'the irresistible dribbles of juice arrive.'
:29:58. > :30:01.It doesn't seem like there's any waste. There is at the end,
:30:02. > :30:03.cos it's dried apple pulp. What do you do with it?
:30:04. > :30:06.Pigs get it. There's a lady got rare-breed pigs
:30:07. > :30:11.and she comes with a trailer and she picks it up.
:30:12. > :30:14.The only trouble is at the end of the week it's fermented,
:30:15. > :30:16.so the pigs are as drunk as pigs by then.
:30:17. > :30:24.'Then to really get the juices going, the cheeses get pressed.'
:30:25. > :30:27.I love the bit where it just starts pressing
:30:28. > :30:30.and rivers of golden juice are flowing off the cloth
:30:31. > :30:43.and into the bucket, and it's just a magical moment.
:30:44. > :30:46.Now obviously, that over there is apple juice,
:30:47. > :30:48.but to finish up with cider you need it to be alcoholic.
:30:49. > :30:52.You do. So how long do you leave it to ferment?
:30:53. > :30:57.is something we pressed on 25 October last year.
:30:58. > :31:00.So it takes, really, six months to get it to this stage.
:31:01. > :31:02.Do we just feed the bottles on to the end? We do.
:31:03. > :31:05.Just push them up like that and set it down there,
:31:06. > :31:10.'Once it gets bottled, it's finally time to taste.
:31:11. > :31:15.'And there is one man who really can judge how heavenly this cider is.'
:31:16. > :31:18.The moment I've been waiting for all day.
:31:19. > :31:35.That's very good. Excellent. Yeah? Thank you.
:31:36. > :31:38.Yeah, that suits me! You finish the bottle, then!
:31:39. > :31:48.All I need now is a deckchair! Thanks, guys! Cheers!
:31:49. > :31:51.Maybe we should be toasting our winner with some of that cider
:31:52. > :31:55.At the moment, though, who takes home the One Man And His Dog title
:31:56. > :32:02.Let's have a look. Wales and Ireland currently share the top spot,
:32:03. > :32:05.but it's the Young Handlers and Senior scores combined
:32:06. > :32:12.that will determine which team wins here today.
:32:13. > :32:17.'as the Seniors, all champions in their home territories,
:32:18. > :32:25.And they'll be facing sheepdog trialling's ultimate challenge.
:32:26. > :32:30.Instead of the Maltese Cross, they will enter the shedding ring.
:32:31. > :32:33.Their challenge here is to hold the flock
:32:34. > :32:37.and separate one of the two sheep wearing red collars from the rest.
:32:38. > :32:43.and a maximum of ten points are on offer.
:32:44. > :32:46.Only when our judges have indicated a clean split
:32:47. > :32:49.can they regroup the sheep and move on to the pen
:32:50. > :32:55.The first senior to be put to the test is Scotland's Michael Shearer,
:32:56. > :33:00.a world champion, and a previous winner of One Man And His Dog.
:33:01. > :33:09.Well, the heavens have opened here at Byland Abbey,
:33:10. > :33:13.so a fully waterproofed Michael Shearer, with his dog Jim.
:33:14. > :33:20.sending Jim off to the right-hand side - yes, he is.
:33:21. > :33:29.He is giving them plenty... WHISTLE
:33:30. > :33:31.Stopped early! Yes, he's pulled up short.
:33:32. > :33:40.16 scored for the outrun and 9 for the lift.
:33:41. > :33:43.Such a calm approach from both handler and dog.
:33:44. > :33:47.You can sense even the whistles are almost relaxed, aren't they?
:33:48. > :33:52.Well, you can see two of the sheep here have red collars on them.
:33:53. > :33:55.They will come into play later in the shedding ring.
:33:56. > :33:59.Oh, he's a fast dog, isn't he? Oh, he's fast, yeah,
:34:00. > :34:02.and he's just livened them up a little bit
:34:03. > :34:06.and he's back on the line, heading up the first drive.
:34:07. > :34:09.17 scored for the fetch. A nice fetch.
:34:10. > :34:15.Challenging conditions, though, to be working in.
:34:16. > :34:17.I mean, started in rain, now the sun's in Michael's eyes.
:34:18. > :34:24.Just 7 points lost on the cross-drive.
:34:25. > :34:33.So we can see these two ewes here with the red collars on.
:34:34. > :34:36.The aim is just to take one of them away from the other four.
:34:37. > :34:40.So what's the technique here, Andy? Ah, well...
:34:41. > :34:42.the technique is you want one of those collared sheep
:34:43. > :34:45.to drift to the back or the front, to be on the edge.
:34:46. > :34:49.But you're asking to get one of these sheep away from its mates,
:34:50. > :34:52.and that's not something they naturally want to do.
:34:53. > :34:56.There's an opportunity maybe shaping up here.
:34:57. > :35:10.And they've accepted that. Good single.
:35:11. > :35:15.9 scored for that, just 1 point dropped.
:35:16. > :35:25.What a benchmark this trial is proving to be.
:35:26. > :35:29.And all five have to be in the pen. Come by.
:35:30. > :35:34.Come out. They're just milling a little.
:35:35. > :35:37.It's just whether or not they've seen the opening behind them.
:35:38. > :35:41.Oh, this looks very, very professional indeed. Yeah.
:35:42. > :35:50.What a round, then, for Michael and Jim.
:35:51. > :35:55.That impressive performance means Michael and Jim finish with 83/100,
:35:56. > :36:01.Congratulations, Michael, you have laid down the gauntlet.
:36:02. > :36:03.How happy were you with that? Quite happy, yeah!
:36:04. > :36:05.Quite happy with the run. Good finish.
:36:06. > :36:07.Do the conditions cause you any problems?
:36:08. > :36:10.It started with rain, and then it looked like the sun
:36:11. > :36:14.No, it's the same as working at home -
:36:15. > :36:17.you've got to work in the rain at home, so it makes no difference.
:36:18. > :36:20.So this is nothing compared to the north of Scotland.
:36:21. > :36:23.Not a thing! It's probably luxury! Yes, it is!
:36:24. > :36:26.Well, congratulations, Michael, that's going to be tough to top.
:36:27. > :36:32.Well, the task of trying to beat that performance falls to England
:36:33. > :36:35.and Richard Hutchinson with his dog Sweep.
:36:36. > :36:39.Richard's a five-time veteran of this competition
:36:40. > :36:44.Is this going to be the day that you take the title?
:36:45. > :36:51.How difficult is it to separate that sheep? It was tricky for him.
:36:52. > :37:01.As England were tying with Scotland on 58,
:37:02. > :37:06.Richard and Sweep need a score over 83 to go ahead.
:37:07. > :37:10.Off nicely to the left, Sweep not going too big.
:37:11. > :37:15.Nice and deep behind. That's a good outrun. Yes.
:37:16. > :37:19.19 points for the outrun. Just wavered a little on the lift.
:37:20. > :37:22.8 for the lift. They're going at a bit of a lick here.
:37:23. > :37:25.Yes, they've picked up pace in front of the fetch,
:37:26. > :37:27.but he's straight through the middle.
:37:28. > :37:30.There's a bit of personal pressure here as well for Richard.
:37:31. > :37:34.This is his fifth time on One Man And His Dog.
:37:35. > :37:40.Sweep's made two appearances himself.
:37:41. > :37:49.Yeah, Richard just giving a little bit of room on the post himself
:37:50. > :37:56.That was lovely. Nice and soft, wasn't it? Yep.
:37:57. > :38:11.Yeah, the sheep just starting to pick up some pace,
:38:12. > :38:23.Ah, no, they just drifted and have missed the gate on the outside.
:38:24. > :38:30.If he's not careful, he'll be inside this one.
:38:31. > :38:33.Oh, Richard, Richard, Richard! He's going to be inside it.
:38:34. > :38:38.and Richard's body language tells you everything.
:38:39. > :38:42.11 scored for the drive, out of 30. Mm-hmm.
:38:43. > :38:45.So, heading now towards this shedding ring,
:38:46. > :38:48.where they'll take off one of the singles.
:38:49. > :38:55.He's got a sheep on the outside there, though, Andy. He has, yeah.
:38:56. > :39:07.So how costly will those deductions be on that drive?
:39:08. > :39:14.Well, Richard will be unaware of his points.
:39:15. > :39:19.Nice and gentle, here we go. Lie down, lie down.
:39:20. > :39:22.APPLAUSE Safely penned.
:39:23. > :39:25.Just the 1 point dropped then at the pen.
:39:26. > :39:35.Going to have to step around Sweep, who is not off-duty yet.
:39:36. > :39:39.Richard. Yes. Your start was excellent...
:39:40. > :39:43.Yes. However, you lost points because you missed the gates. Yes.
:39:44. > :39:47.How frustrating was that? Yeah, it happens.
:39:48. > :39:49.It was really bad handling, going up the drive.
:39:50. > :39:52.gave him a right hand I shouldn't have given,
:39:53. > :39:55.and they whipped that way. It was just poor handling.
:39:56. > :39:58.Your body language suggested you'd had enough by that point.
:39:59. > :40:00.It just didn't quite happen. It happens.
:40:01. > :40:07.Damn sight more than I'd have given it!
:40:08. > :40:11.Not a bad day at the office. Well done, Richard. OK.
:40:12. > :40:14.Adding Richard's 72 to Alex's Young Handler score from earlier
:40:15. > :40:27.Our competitors aren't the only ones who rely on the humble sheep
:40:28. > :40:34.who are quite literally dyed-in-the-wool
:40:35. > :40:43.when it comes to their love of these fleeces on four legs.
:40:44. > :40:46.Sheep have been grazing the wilds of the North York Moors
:40:47. > :40:54.which blankets this majestic landscape,
:40:55. > :40:59.Recently the flock of the North York Moors
:41:00. > :41:03.have been joined by an altogether more colourful variety.
:41:04. > :41:06.Businesses, schools and locals have all been busy
:41:07. > :41:11.which are taking their own place amongst the hills,
:41:12. > :41:14.part of a woolly treasure hunt encouraging people
:41:15. > :41:20.to explore this glorious countryside.
:41:21. > :41:24.Textile artist Trish Hutchinson uses natural ingredients
:41:25. > :41:27.like roots, flowers and berries to dye her wool.
:41:28. > :41:35.Today she's going to help me add my own pink sheep to the flock.
:41:36. > :41:38.What have we got here? This is horsetail.
:41:39. > :41:42.It's going to give us a slight greeny, khaki colour.
:41:43. > :41:47.It's a prehistoric plant, it's been around since the dinosaurs' times.
:41:48. > :41:51.are you OK to just do this, just help yourself?
:41:52. > :41:56.Any plant that you're picking like this, do it in moderation.
:41:57. > :42:00.We've got birch. These are some birch logs.
:42:01. > :42:04.but underneath you get this reddy one.
:42:05. > :42:06.It's like when you peel back wallpaper,
:42:07. > :42:12.only you find something brilliant underneath. That's right. Great!
:42:13. > :42:15.These berries are the darkest things we've seen out here.
:42:16. > :42:18.They are, yes. Are these going to give us a dark colour?
:42:19. > :42:24.They are going to give us a dark colour, a purpley-pink.
:42:25. > :42:27.I confess, Trish, I have eaten a few of these berries.

:42:31. > :42:32.How do you make natural dyes stay put?
:42:33. > :42:37.Alum is probably the safest one to use.
:42:38. > :42:41.The whole of the Northeast coast, that's where alum was mined.
:42:42. > :42:43.So do you just throw the alum into the pot with the dye?
:42:44. > :42:47.I can now, but traditionally, when alum was a raw rock,
:42:48. > :42:55.It had to steep. It was very, very, very smelly.
:42:56. > :43:01.Vast amounts, actually. They used to bring it in in barrels on ships.
:43:02. > :43:03.When the sailors used to come up on the ships,
:43:04. > :43:07.they used to say, "They are taking the..." Yes.
:43:08. > :43:12.Every day's a schoolday, isn't it? It is! It is.
:43:13. > :43:19.'turning a sheep's fleece pink by using squashed brambles.'
:43:20. > :43:22.We need the colour, we need the juice -
:43:23. > :43:31.the actual opposite of what you do when you are cooking.
:43:32. > :43:36.And does it need to be at a certain temperature?
:43:37. > :43:41.As you're pushing it in, you'll see the colour coming through.
:43:42. > :43:46.How long will it be before that's good enough to dry out
:43:47. > :43:49.and put onto our sheep? 20 minutes, an hour?
:43:50. > :43:52.Go for an hour on a low simmer, then take it away,
:43:53. > :44:00.leave it overnight, just to let it really soak through.
:44:01. > :44:09.All we need now is a beautiful setting,
:44:10. > :44:22.and I think this will do nicely. Happy new home!
:44:23. > :44:26.But someone is going to be in the pink
:44:27. > :44:33.And hoping it'll be Ireland is a One Man And His Dog first-timer,
:44:34. > :44:36.James McLaughlin with his dog Ben.
:44:37. > :44:40.will be his own two trainee sheepdog triallers,
:44:41. > :45:02.So, here is the man of the moment, then, from Carndonagh.
:45:03. > :45:09.Started off on a good line, heading off towards the barn.
:45:10. > :45:15.Because of the great work done by Caleb, the young handler,
:45:16. > :45:19.they don't need the highest score to win this trial at the moment.
:45:20. > :45:34.The judges might just touch that lift.
:45:35. > :45:38.Nine scored for the lift, so just two points dropped so far.
:45:39. > :45:43.Right through the middle of those fetch gates.
:45:44. > :45:46.We know that James was really feeling the pressure
:45:47. > :45:50.going into this. Yes. Well, this will have calmed his nerves now.
:45:51. > :45:55.18 for the fetch. Oh, yes. 46 at the moment.
:45:56. > :46:01.Where the problems can come up, this first drive.
:46:02. > :46:05.He's got the line right, got the pace right now.
:46:06. > :46:08.We saw the problems with Richard. We did.
:46:09. > :46:13.Just trotting nicely now. He's in a very good spot now.
:46:14. > :46:17.Not only to catch the gate, which he has, but he should get a tidy turn.
:46:18. > :46:36.Hang on! He just needs a touch of left hand.
:46:37. > :46:42.Through the gate and he'll get a really nice turn here.
:46:43. > :46:52.25 for the drive. No, good drive, good drive.
:46:53. > :46:56.A good finish now, and he will want some beating.
:46:57. > :47:08.is the job of taking one of these ewes with a collar on
:47:09. > :47:19.This is a possible chance here. Stand. Lie down!
:47:20. > :47:23.Down there. There you go. Come by, come by. Get back.
:47:24. > :47:29.And it will be over to the pen to finish up.
:47:30. > :47:32.And what a trial this is proving to be.
:47:33. > :47:37.He needs just two points to put him in front
:47:38. > :47:40.with one dog and handler to come.
:47:41. > :47:50.but they are in perfect position here.
:47:51. > :47:58.Perfect position. Oh, what a beautiful pen.
:47:59. > :48:03.A cracking run from James and Ben means they drop just 11 points,
:48:04. > :48:12.James, congratulations. 89. You only dropped 11 points.
:48:13. > :48:18.because he put you in quite a good position.
:48:19. > :48:21.Yes, the young lad done very well, yes.
:48:22. > :48:24.Now, Wales, they've got to get 90 to beat you. Yes.
:48:25. > :48:27.It's doable, but it's going to be difficult.
:48:28. > :48:30.I wish them all the best, you know, but...
:48:31. > :48:33.I hope we can have the edge, I think.
:48:34. > :48:39.Yeah, right, you almost convinced me there, James! Thank you.
:48:40. > :48:42.That fantastic round from James and Ben means that,
:48:43. > :48:46.with just one man and his dog left to run, this is how we stand.
:48:47. > :48:52.England bring up the rear with 130. Scotland stand in second on 141.
:48:53. > :48:57.And Ireland are currently top dog with an eight-point lead.
:48:58. > :49:00.But Wales have the target in their sights
:49:01. > :49:03.and will be hoping to change all that.
:49:04. > :49:07.It all comes down to the final round.
:49:08. > :49:10.But before we see if Kevin and dog Jimmy have got what it takes,
:49:11. > :49:14.it's time to find out whether the weather is going to cause an upset
:49:15. > :49:29.or give us a smooth run in the week ahead.
:49:30. > :49:45.It has been an incredible September. It has been warm and it will break
:49:46. > :49:53.some records in terms of rainfall. Most of the rain has fallen in
:49:54. > :50:02.Scotland. Percentage-wise, we are way down. There is one of two
:50:03. > :50:10.elements that may change the rain totals. There are these showers
:50:11. > :50:17.moving across Spain. This warm air may trigger if you more showers as
:50:18. > :50:26.we move towards Monday. There is still some uncertainty. We could see
:50:27. > :50:36.some dense fog in the morning. There may be some showers for commuters on
:50:37. > :50:43.the south coast. In the north, it will stay fine and dry. There may be
:50:44. > :50:49.some light rain. In northern England, Northern Ireland, and
:50:50. > :50:56.Scotland conditions are looking more promising for Monday. As the day
:50:57. > :51:04.continues, the shutters will move north and east. Some places may
:51:05. > :51:16.escape the rain altogether. If there is rain, it may be heavy in Wales.
:51:17. > :51:20.Temperatures of 16-20 Celsius. The showers will move away and as we go
:51:21. > :51:31.into Tuesday we may see some dry and sunny weather. There may be more
:51:32. > :51:41.rain in Scotland. However, it will get weaker as it moves south east.
:51:42. > :51:50.There will be highs of 21 Celsius. There may be some bits and bobs of
:51:51. > :51:57.rain. This front will introduce some cooler air. On Wednesday, it will be
:51:58. > :52:06.cooler in Scotland. Temperatures of 40-15 Celsius. Temperatures will
:52:07. > :52:13.fall on Thursday and there is the potential for a frost. In rural
:52:14. > :52:20.areas, temperatures will be around the freezing mark. Thursday will be
:52:21. > :52:29.a dry and quiet day. Wind will increase later on through the day.
:52:30. > :52:39.Top temperatures on Thursday will be around 13 Celsius. There is the
:52:40. > :52:41.potential for some gales on Friday. However, there is still some
:52:42. > :52:47.uncertainty about how far side that will go. Towards the end of the
:52:48. > :52:51.week, it will turn unsettled. There will be windy weather. There is
:52:52. > :53:00.certain to We are in North Yorkshire in the
:53:01. > :53:05.shadow of the glorious Byland Abbey, where sheep farming has been
:53:06. > :53:10.a way of life for over 900 years. It's here that four nations
:53:11. > :53:13.have been battling it out for the title of Countryfile's
:53:14. > :53:19.One Man And His Dog Champion 2014. It's a day that's so far
:53:20. > :53:22.seen mastery from some... That's how you do it.
:53:23. > :53:25.What a round then. Good pen. He's going to be inside it.
:53:26. > :53:30.Oh, Richard. Richard's body language
:53:31. > :53:32.tells you everything. Scotland, England and Ireland
:53:33. > :53:36.have given it their all The big question now is
:53:37. > :53:43.can Wales build on the 60 points to claim the
:53:44. > :53:51.One Man And His Dog trophy. It all comes down
:53:52. > :53:53.to this one round, and one chance for
:53:54. > :53:57.Kevin Evans and his dog Jimmy. so the pressure is really on me now
:53:58. > :54:01.to get everything right. You need to get a near faultless
:54:02. > :54:05.round. You need to score 90 to win. Yeah. It won't be easy,
:54:06. > :54:17.but we'll give it a go. He's travelled the world
:54:18. > :54:29.training sheepdogs. What can he offer us here
:54:30. > :54:32.at Byland Abbey? It's the final round, then, of
:54:33. > :54:37.this year's One Man And His Dog. They need to score 90
:54:38. > :54:44.for Wales to win. He's come round the back
:54:45. > :54:48.of these, very nice too. just pushed them
:54:49. > :54:54.off the line slightly. 18 scored for the outrun.
:54:55. > :55:04.9 on the lift. So, at this stage,
:55:05. > :55:07.one point behind James. Stand. Just keeping this flow
:55:08. > :55:14.as calm as possible. And Kevin has just
:55:15. > :55:17.eased away from the post. He's now into this drive,
:55:18. > :55:38.and James McLaughlin, 25 for the drive,
:55:39. > :55:57.exactly the same as James and Ben. 69 scored, so, if they score
:55:58. > :56:04.10 and 10, they'll tie. So heading now towards
:56:05. > :56:09.this shedding ring where they'll take off
:56:10. > :56:12.one of the singles. Oh, they're having a look.
:56:13. > :56:17.They're being bolshie. Yes, I think Jimmy is
:56:18. > :56:20.enough to cope with these. But what will be the points awarded,
:56:21. > :56:33.that's the question. He needs 10 here.
:56:34. > :56:39.And he's shaping up for his pen now. Stand. Just milling a little.
:56:40. > :56:43.But in a good spot. Delicately done.
:56:44. > :56:53.Yes, and in they go. Everybody waiting for
:56:54. > :57:04.the judges' score here. It's a nine for the shed,
:57:05. > :57:07.nine awarded for the pen, Even a perfect pen wasn't
:57:08. > :57:14.going to be good enough. That means that the final
:57:15. > :57:23.results look like this. Scotland's score of 141
:57:24. > :57:29.puts them in third, Wales nipping at the heels
:57:30. > :57:33.of success with 147, and claiming the title for the
:57:34. > :57:42.second year running with 149 points. Well, what a day's trialling we have
:57:43. > :57:46.seen here in North Yorkshire. Some of the finest, I think,
:57:47. > :57:48.on One Man And His Dog. goodness me, it was close
:57:49. > :57:53.in the finish. My word! It went to the wire,
:57:54. > :57:55.there were just two points in it and, of course, at home,
:57:56. > :57:58.you know who has won, Well, here we go, the winner of this
:57:59. > :58:09.year's One Man And His Dog is... Congratulations. There we are,
:58:10. > :58:15.James, well done, my friend. And, of course, Ben.
:58:16. > :58:19.Well done, Tess. All that remains to be said
:58:20. > :58:22.is a very big thank you to everybody here in the field.
:58:23. > :58:26.But that is it for this week. Next week, Countryfile will be
:58:27. > :58:29.revealing another champion, Countryfile
:58:30. > :58:32.photographic competition. And we'll be talking all things
