:00:29. > :00:33.the Peak District is a landscape of contrasts -

:00:34. > :00:46.And its timeless charm has been an inspiration to many.

:00:47. > :00:49.I'll be discovering how this stunning place is now

:00:50. > :00:55.turning back the clock for a drama set amongst these hills.

:00:56. > :01:00.Helen's discovering the surprising connections between the Peak District

:01:01. > :01:05.This couldn't be more different to the national parks in India,

:01:06. > :01:07.but I'll be chatting to one lady who's found

:01:08. > :01:09.some rather surprising links and she's using them

:01:10. > :01:13.to encourage everybody into the great outdoors.

:01:14. > :01:21.A new report claims the shooting industry is worth more than

:01:22. > :01:24.?2 billion to the British economy every year,

:01:25. > :01:31.So, should we be doing more to recognise this rural tradition

:01:32. > :01:35.that involves killing wildlife? I'll be investigating.

:01:36. > :01:42.I've got about 150 ewes in this field with their lambs.

:01:43. > :01:45.They're generally very healthy and doing quite well

:01:46. > :01:47.apart from I've got a little bit of lameness in them.

:01:48. > :01:50.In fact, it's a bit of a constant battle.

:01:51. > :01:52.But today I'm finding out about a programme

:01:53. > :02:04.that could rid the sheep industry of this horrible problem.

:02:05. > :02:08.From the limestone dales of the White Peak, to the wild moors

:02:09. > :02:15.of the gritstone Dark Peak, the Peak District has drama at every turn.

:02:16. > :02:19.A place where people fought for and won the right to walk freely

:02:20. > :02:25.in our countryside. It was the first National Park in the UK.

:02:26. > :02:29.It's a green oasis sandwiched between the urban sprawl of Manchester

:02:30. > :02:35.and Sheffield, at the southern tip of the Pennines.

:02:36. > :02:38.The spectacular landscape of the Peak District has been the backdrop

:02:39. > :02:42.for countless productions on both big and small screens,

:02:43. > :02:47.to Pride And Prejudice via The League Of Gentlemen.

:02:48. > :02:49.The latest is the brooding drama The Village.

:02:50. > :03:04.as seen through the eyes of the Middleton family,

:03:05. > :03:11.and played out within the confines of a single Derbyshire village.

:03:12. > :03:16.The first series was set during the time of the First World War.

:03:17. > :03:42.The second series, which starts on BBC One next month,

:03:43. > :03:49.And shopkeepers are so taken with the transformation,

:03:50. > :03:55.they've kept things in a '20s time warp between filming.

:03:56. > :03:58.Actors are seen walking into Hankins Drapers,

:03:59. > :04:11.Jess, I imagine the tea shop must come to a stop, does it,

:04:12. > :04:15.Well, we're as busy as usual, really.

:04:16. > :04:17.Everybody sort of stops while they're filming,

:04:18. > :04:22.and we have to have the blinds down so nobody can see,

:04:23. > :04:25.but everyone's really interested, asking all the questions.

:04:26. > :04:28.Because the blinds say it's the draper's shop, not the tearoom.

:04:29. > :04:30.Well, people are a bit confused whether we're still open or not,

:04:31. > :04:33.but once they get in the place is full

:04:34. > :04:36.and everybody's asking about what's going on outside,

:04:37. > :04:39.who's been in, have we seen any of the actors.

:04:40. > :04:42.Have you been in it yourself as an extra? Yes, I was.

:04:43. > :04:47.For the first series, I was an extra in it. But...

:04:48. > :04:52.I had to stand in the cricket pitch and cheer on a wheelbarrow race.

:04:53. > :04:58.And I was like a face and a shadow but, apart from that, no...

:04:59. > :05:01.Were you actually there? Did you actually make the final edit?

:05:02. > :05:05.Yes, but I had to pause it on the TV, though. But it's quite funny.

:05:06. > :05:10.And for the costumes and corsets, it was a good couple of days,

:05:11. > :05:19.The Royal Hotel in Hayfield doubles as the exterior of the village pub

:05:20. > :05:30.Like many around Hayfield, the landlord is feeling the benefit.

:05:31. > :05:34.What kind of impact has The Village had on this village?

:05:35. > :05:36.It's the second series that they're filming.

:05:37. > :05:39.The whole village is a massive, great community.

:05:40. > :05:42.Everyone has really, really come together.

:05:43. > :05:45.And it's created a huge amount of excitement.

:05:46. > :05:48.So, I think it's creating a lot of buzz from outside as well

:05:49. > :05:52.with people coming in to see where The Village is actually filmed.

:05:53. > :05:59.Today, the cast of The Village are out in force.

:06:00. > :06:08.But why would I want to claim it as my own?

:06:09. > :06:10.Because your first instinct is to protect others.

:06:11. > :06:13.You knew it would incriminate Robin Lane.

:06:14. > :06:15.Right now, they're filming a trial scene.

:06:16. > :06:19.Now, originally, they had hoped to do this in a local village hall,

:06:20. > :06:22.but the Amateur Dramatic Society said they needed it for rehearsals

:06:23. > :06:26.so the company had to rapidly switch their set to here.

:06:27. > :06:29.It's a good example of the way they've been trying

:06:30. > :06:33.not to get into the way of the locals.

:06:34. > :06:36.One of the stars of the show is Maxine Peake,

:06:37. > :06:41.Maxine, how well do you know this part of the world?

:06:42. > :06:44.You know, I'm so ashamed to say, not as well as I should.

:06:45. > :06:48.my mum used to be a member of the Ramblers' Association.

:06:49. > :06:52.we did Kinder Scout and Jacob's Ladder,

:06:53. > :06:56.sort of...when I was about 10, 11, 12.

:06:57. > :07:03.it's a part of England that...not gets ignored,

:07:04. > :07:06.but I think people, when they think of countryside in the North,

:07:07. > :07:09.people think up towards the Lakes or further up towards Scotland.

:07:10. > :07:11.But it is extraordinary around here. It really is.

:07:12. > :07:14.I'm so glad doing this job has reintroduced me

:07:15. > :07:18.In the first series, your family, the Middletons,

:07:19. > :07:21.had a pretty bleak, harsh time, didn't they? Yes.

:07:22. > :07:26.Are things looking up a bit? Yes - the farm's taken a bit of a turn,

:07:27. > :07:32.It's not huge, but there's more hope

:07:33. > :07:34.and there's more prospects for the farm, at the moment.

:07:35. > :07:37.You could have told the constable whose it was,

:07:38. > :07:46.Maxine's character is the mother in a hard-pressed family

:07:47. > :07:51.whose farm is set in beautiful Edale.

:07:52. > :07:57.So how did the series recreate the earlier 20th century right here?

:07:58. > :07:59.Adam, you're the art director and this is the track

:08:00. > :08:03.that leads from the village to the Middletons' farmhouse,

:08:04. > :08:07.is this how the farmhouse was when you started filming?

:08:08. > :08:10.No. The farmhouse, when we first found the location,

:08:11. > :08:13.We added windows in there, to match our studio.

:08:14. > :08:14.It's just an old barn, really, wasn't it?

:08:15. > :08:17.It was - it was derelict when we first turned up.

:08:18. > :08:22.which helped to match in to the studio.

:08:23. > :08:25.It's derelict inside, so it's all matched to where we are.

:08:26. > :08:29.What about more modern intrusions into the landscape here?

:08:30. > :08:35.they were taken out digitally in post-production.

:08:36. > :08:37.This time around, the village has moved on,

:08:38. > :08:39.so we're allowed to see them, so in the landscape,

:08:40. > :08:42.it's OK for them to be there this time.

:08:43. > :08:47.'The barn is on the land of real-life farmer, Roy Cooper...'

:08:48. > :08:51.'..who's had to invest in some new technology

:08:52. > :08:56.to watching The Village on television?

:08:57. > :08:59.Yes, I did. We bought a television specially for it.

:09:00. > :09:01.Really? We've been without, we've been without.

:09:02. > :09:04.I remember sitting in the house, watching -

:09:05. > :09:07.the clock was on the mantelpiece, and, looking at the clock,

:09:08. > :09:10.I think it finished at nine o'clock, I'm not sure.

:09:11. > :09:20.And the second series of The Village will be on Roy's TV - and yours -

:09:21. > :09:27.Now, while we've been watching them film The Village,

:09:28. > :09:36.Tom has been looking into the value of a very different kind of shooting.

:09:37. > :09:41.For centuries, shooting in all its different forms

:09:42. > :09:44.has been entwined with the traditions of the countryside.

:09:45. > :09:49.But its benefits are apparently very current -

:09:50. > :09:56.shooting creates tens of thousands of jobs.

:09:57. > :10:01.It also contributes more than ?2 billion to the British economy

:10:02. > :10:05.and furthermore it's claimed that a willingness to pull the trigger

:10:06. > :10:10.So does shooting get enough recognition?

:10:11. > :10:15.'from the British Association for Shooting and Conservation -

:10:16. > :10:24.This one is made for gamekeepers. It's about 100 years old.

:10:25. > :10:28.That actually gives it a kind of, almost, Wellington-era feel.

:10:29. > :10:30.It's got these hammers on it. That's right.

:10:31. > :10:33.Richard's organisation is using the report,

:10:34. > :10:37.put together by 17 pro shooting groups and released today,

:10:38. > :10:41.to call for greater appreciation for the industry.

:10:42. > :10:43.How important is shooting to the economy today?

:10:44. > :10:45.There are around about two million people

:10:46. > :10:48.that actively participate in shooting

:10:49. > :10:54.and they inject into the economy about ?2 billion each year.

:10:55. > :10:57.As I understand it, gun ownership in Britain is at record levels.

:10:58. > :10:59.It seems to be doing fine - what's your problem?

:11:00. > :11:07.and by asking for recognition we become part of the solution,

:11:08. > :11:11.rather than, as some people see us, some peripheral activity

:11:12. > :11:15.Are you looking for love from society?

:11:16. > :11:18.We want people - we want policy makers -

:11:19. > :11:21.to understand that shooting provides jobs,

:11:22. > :11:26.shooting helps provide and shape the British countryside

:11:27. > :11:34.Given more support, Richard believes shooting can generate even more money

:11:35. > :11:42.But what about its contribution to biodiversity?

:11:43. > :11:45.Here on the Duke of Norfolk's estate near Arundel,

:11:46. > :11:48.they've dedicated part of this field for planting this -

:11:49. > :11:52.a mixture of seeds which is good for the birds they want to shoot,

:11:53. > :11:58.but also lots of other wildlife really loves it.

:11:59. > :12:02.Every year, this estate holds exclusive grey partridge shoots,

:12:03. > :12:07.but game birds aren't being shot here today.

:12:08. > :12:11.I expect you gamekeepers' traditional view to be with a shotgun,

:12:12. > :12:13.all butch, not being balletic with a butterfly net.

:12:14. > :12:17.We're just checking the conservation headland

:12:18. > :12:22.'Head gamekeeper Charlie Mellor is checking

:12:23. > :12:26.'there is plenty of bird food, and not just for the grey partridges.'

:12:27. > :12:29.What we're really looking for is these plant bugs here.

:12:30. > :12:33.The green ones are very, very important plant bugs

:12:34. > :12:37.So the things that you want to shoot love these,

:12:38. > :12:40.but a lot of other things do, as well, is that the point?

:12:41. > :12:44.The grey partridge are our main driver behind the project,

:12:45. > :12:47.but all the other red-listed species - corn buntings,

:12:48. > :12:50.linnets, skylarks, yellowhammers - they all benefit, as well.

:12:51. > :12:52.And you happy with the idea of, you know,

:12:53. > :12:55.killing wildlife in order to achieve that?

:12:56. > :12:59.is for only a small part of the year, really.

:13:00. > :13:02.And you think all of the sort of collateral benefits

:13:03. > :13:06.make that worthwhile? Oh, yeah, 100%. It really does.

:13:07. > :13:09.It's not just on the Arundel Estate where it's said

:13:10. > :13:12.that game shooting helps biodiversity.

:13:13. > :13:16.It's claimed the industry supports wildlife and habitats

:13:17. > :13:19.on nearly two million hectares of land in the UK -

:13:20. > :13:24.But not everyone agrees it's always a good thing.

:13:25. > :13:28.That was the black cap singing, so they're still here,

:13:29. > :13:33.but, of course, as they get quieter, they're so much harder to find.

:13:34. > :13:37.'The RSPB believes that shooting's environmental credentials

:13:38. > :13:44.Do you think the shooting industry does deserve greater recognition for

:13:45. > :13:48.its environmental work and generating money for the economy?

:13:49. > :13:51.I think we give the shooting industry a lot of recognition.

:13:52. > :13:54.The nature of farming awards we've been run for several years

:13:55. > :13:56.have included farmers who run shoots,

:13:57. > :13:59.but I think if you're going to recognise the benefits,

:14:00. > :14:02.you've also got to acknowledge the costs.

:14:03. > :14:06.It's in the uplands, particularly in areas of grouse moorland,

:14:07. > :14:12.It feels the traditional management of these landscapes damages

:14:13. > :14:16.biodiversity and claims some in the shooting industry are willing

:14:17. > :14:21.to break the law to stop birds of prey killing game.

:14:22. > :14:24.At the moment, it is a force for populations generally going down.

:14:25. > :14:29.There are some exceptions to that, but, while the illegal persecution

:14:30. > :14:33.of birds of prey is tolerated when the uplands are being drained

:14:34. > :14:39.when burning on deep peat is still going on and is intensifying,

:14:40. > :14:43.then the overall net impact on the wildlife of this country

:14:44. > :14:46.among some of the landscapes we love is almost certainly negative.

:14:47. > :14:54.But the BASC argues grouse shooting provides both the incentive

:14:55. > :15:02.It says draining is a legacy of the past now being phased out

:15:03. > :15:25.and it also strongly condemns the illegal killing of birds of prey.

:15:26. > :15:32.They just believe that shooting animals for entertainment is wrong.

:15:33. > :15:35.But Richard Ali believes there is a fundamental

:15:36. > :15:38.misunderstanding of what game shooting really is.

:15:39. > :15:45.It's not an enjoyment based on killing.

:15:46. > :15:50.Shooting is about not just the history of Britain,

:15:51. > :15:56.Whatever Richard thinks, though, for some, killing for sport,

:15:57. > :16:00.even if we eat the birds afterwards, is unacceptable.

:16:01. > :16:09.so what role does the less controversial side of shooting play?

:16:10. > :16:25.Home to some of Britain's most celebrated scenery,

:16:26. > :16:29.these picturesque peaks have inspired artists for centuries,

:16:30. > :16:36.and abundant wildlife has appeared in galleries around the world.

:16:37. > :16:39.To tie in with this year's Countryfile photo competition,

:16:40. > :16:42.I have come to Derbyshire to meet an artist who is truly

:16:43. > :16:51.He has 13,000 followers on the internet

:16:52. > :16:54.and some pictures have been shared more than ten million times.

:16:55. > :16:57.But, like the Banksy of the photographic world,

:16:58. > :17:02.he is known only by the mysterious alias Villager Jim.

:17:03. > :17:04.Today, he has agreed to reveal his identity to me

:17:05. > :17:10.Jim, nice to meet you. Pleased to meet you, too.

:17:11. > :17:12.I can imagine living in a place like this, it is quite easy to

:17:13. > :17:15.get into photography. How did it all start?

:17:16. > :17:19.Yeah, well, I started getting into photography

:17:20. > :17:22.when I moved to the Peak District, simply because

:17:23. > :17:25.I noticed coming from a city there is so much wildlife.

:17:26. > :17:28.It's not about sitting there with a camouflaged tent for me.

:17:29. > :17:32.and seeing what is out there that particular morning.

:17:33. > :17:35.I am a complete novice, although I invested in an OK camera.

:17:36. > :17:37.Can you take good pictures on an average camera,

:17:38. > :17:42.You can take amazing photos nowadays, so people shouldn't be thinking

:17:43. > :17:45.you've got to have the world's best camera to take a good photo.

:17:46. > :17:49.It's really, mostly, all about composition

:17:50. > :17:52.and anticipation of what is going to happen in a shot.

:17:53. > :17:56.One of the best ways of having good composition

:17:57. > :17:58.is to imagine a noughts and crosses on your screen

:17:59. > :18:03.and try not to put the subject in the centre square.

:18:04. > :18:06.Is there anything else I should be thinking about?

:18:07. > :18:11.and you will suddenly realise that taking that ear

:18:12. > :18:15.or taking the nose is quite enjoyable, the shot comes out well.

:18:16. > :18:18.Where is a good place to start when you are looking for a subject?

:18:19. > :18:22.Simple things, really, any garden bird is fantastic

:18:23. > :18:26.if you get the right picture of it, just taking off or just landing.

:18:27. > :18:29.The thing to do is to help them by feeding them.

:18:30. > :18:34.Never mind Villager Jim, I think he is more like Dr Doolittle! Come on.

:18:35. > :18:44.So far, so good, but Jim has sent me on a solo mission

:18:45. > :18:47.to put his tips into practice by photographing

:18:48. > :18:51.the pedigree cattle just down the road at the Chatsworth Estate.

:18:52. > :18:55.If that wasn't pressure enough, the Duke of Devonshire himself

:18:56. > :19:01.is also a fan of Jim's work, so my photos better be up to standard.

:19:02. > :19:06.Chatsworth farm manager David Howlett is going to tell me

:19:07. > :19:09.a bit more about these beautiful beasts.

:19:10. > :19:11.David, you've gathered some brilliant subject for me,

:19:12. > :19:14.nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. Tell me who we have got here, then.

:19:15. > :19:17.The estate has got 135 pedigree Limousins,

:19:18. > :19:19.and you have got here last year's young stock.

:19:20. > :19:23.Gorgeous-looking cows, great colours, very inquisitive.

:19:24. > :19:28.Yes, yes, our cattle are well handled.

:19:29. > :19:33.I know you have a lot of cattle to manage, David, but are there any

:19:34. > :19:37.characters in there in particular it is worth me training my lens on?

:19:38. > :19:43.All of these ones are what we would deem representative of the breed.

:19:44. > :19:46.You've selected my models for me, thank you, David!

:19:47. > :19:49.I'm going to snap away, if that is OK. Yeah, fine.

:19:50. > :19:58.Well, they seem quite... Quite... Oh, good.

:19:59. > :20:01.That's what happens when you work in this environment, isn't it!

:20:02. > :20:07.It was a nice crusty one, as well, that's been there a while. Hello.

:20:08. > :20:17.OK, Jim said I don't have to get you in the centre. I think...

:20:18. > :20:23.all of my models are in the middle of my noughts and crosses grid.

:20:24. > :20:33.something that's not going to happen.

:20:34. > :20:46.I've definitely got quantity, if not quality.

:20:47. > :20:51.time to see what the maestro has to say.

:20:52. > :20:57.Jim, be brutal, be honest. OK. Right.

:20:58. > :21:01.Well, the very first one I click on is actually pretty good.

:21:02. > :21:06.but with Chatsworth at the back that looks fantastic.

:21:07. > :21:08.And you've actually... going on the knots and crosses,

:21:09. > :21:12.you've used the bottom three squares as the main subject.

:21:13. > :21:17.Yes, again, it makes a fabulous photo because they look so gentle,

:21:18. > :21:20.don't they? But it's just ever so slightly out of focus.

:21:21. > :21:24.Even if I put my glasses on. No, take the glasses off, Jim!

:21:25. > :21:27.With that one, I was going for the anticipation thing.

:21:28. > :21:30.I was trying to get it to stick its tongue out. Right, OK.

:21:31. > :21:34.So you failed. I did, yes! You've still got a great shot, though.

:21:35. > :21:41.For me, it's just the way that the cow tilts her head.

:21:42. > :21:43.It just gives a bit of character to it.

:21:44. > :21:48.Yes, I would. I'm going to take that. Thank you.

:21:49. > :21:50.I may have taken about 800 pictures today,

:21:51. > :21:59.but that nod of approval will do, thank you, Jim. It's a pleasure.

:22:00. > :22:02.Well, sadly, Helen won't be able to enter this year's Countryfile

:22:03. > :22:07.but if you think you've got what it takes, why not give it a go?

:22:08. > :22:11.The theme is animal magic, and it's wide open to interpretation,

:22:12. > :22:16.but entries must include either farm or wild animals,

:22:17. > :22:23.We can't accept photos of domestic pets or zoo animals.

:22:24. > :22:29.Any images of British wildlife in captivity must be declared as such.

:22:30. > :22:32.The 12 best pictures selected by our judges will each have

:22:33. > :22:36.a page on the Countryfile calendar for 2015.

:22:37. > :22:40.As always, the overall winner will be voted for by Countryfile viewers,

:22:41. > :22:44.and their picture will feature on the cover of the calendar, and they

:22:45. > :22:49.will also get to choose photograph equipment to the value of ?1,000.

:22:50. > :22:51.Whoever takes a picture that the judges like best,

:22:52. > :22:55.they get to select equipment worth ?500.

:22:56. > :22:59.To enter, please write your name, address and a daytime

:23:00. > :23:02.and evening phone number on the back of each photo,

:23:03. > :23:17.The competition is not open to professionals,

:23:18. > :23:19.and because we are looking for something original

:23:20. > :23:23.your entry must not have won any other national competition.

:23:24. > :23:26.You can send in up to three photos, which must have been taken in the UK,

:23:27. > :23:31.and, remember, we want hard copies and not e-mailed or computer files.

:23:32. > :23:35.And I'm sorry, but we can't send back any entries.

:23:36. > :23:38.The full terms and conditions are on our website, and you will find

:23:39. > :23:43.details of the BBC's code of conduct for competitions there, as well.

:23:44. > :23:48.The competition closes at midnight on Friday, July 25th,

:23:49. > :24:01.so you've got just three weeks to send in your entries.

:24:02. > :24:05.Beneath the soaring crags and green valleys of the southern tip of

:24:06. > :24:11.the Peak District, the soft limestone is riddled with caverns and tunnels.

:24:12. > :24:14.These caves have a history of human habitation that goes back many

:24:15. > :24:20.thousands of years, and the past is still being unearthed here.

:24:21. > :24:26.carved out over millions of years by the River Dove.

:24:27. > :24:30.And, as Countryfile can exclusively reveal today, it is

:24:31. > :24:34.also the site of one of the most extraordinary archaeological finds

:24:35. > :24:41.In spring last year, totally by accident,

:24:42. > :24:44.a 2,000-year-old treasure trove was discovered.

:24:45. > :24:47.It's forced archaeologists to reconsider their views

:24:48. > :24:50.of the Iron Age in this part of the world.

:24:51. > :24:54.National Trust archaeologist Rachael Hall is going to tell me more.

:24:55. > :25:04.Well, it looks to be a bit of a scramble to me.

:25:05. > :25:16.It's incredible, isn't it? Amazing. Quite monumental. Yeah.

:25:17. > :25:21.Not the easiest cave to get to, is it? So, what was found here?

:25:22. > :25:24.About a year ago, a climber was sheltering in a cave whilst

:25:25. > :25:27.it was raining and he made a discovery of four coins.

:25:28. > :25:29.Three of those were Iron Age coins and one was a Roman coin,

:25:30. > :25:33.We undertook an excavation, because it's really,

:25:34. > :25:36.really unusual to find Iron Age coins in a cave,

:25:37. > :25:39.so we wanted to see if we could understand more about the find,

:25:40. > :25:42.see if we could work out why the coins might have ended up here,

:25:43. > :25:46.and also we needed to protect the site. Did you find more coins, then?

:25:47. > :25:49.We did, we made a really exciting discovery.

:25:50. > :25:51.There is actually a coin hoard within the cave.

:25:52. > :25:57.It's an incredible find, it's really, really exciting,

:25:58. > :26:01.it is one of those once-in-a-lifetime discoveries.

:26:02. > :26:06.to be examined by a specialist conservation team.

:26:07. > :26:09.This is the first time they have been back in the Peak District

:26:10. > :26:14.Stephanie Vasiliou, from University College London,

:26:15. > :26:17.is one of the experts working on board.

:26:18. > :26:20.And here are the coins. What metals do we have here?

:26:21. > :26:24.We've got some gold down there, and then we have some silver

:26:25. > :26:28.sort of spread out around, then we have copper alloy there at the top.

:26:29. > :26:32.This gold coin, does anything need doing to it now?

:26:33. > :26:35.What we would do with something like that is we'll give them

:26:36. > :26:40.If you just give it a little push on the top there,

:26:41. > :26:44.and dip your swab in and sort of dab it off on the surface.

:26:45. > :26:47.Yes, and just sort of give it a little swab over.

:26:48. > :26:52.What about the silver one? The silver we would carry out a polish.

:26:53. > :26:56.Good old silver polish? We can do, yes. Just dip into the water.

:26:57. > :27:02.just so we don't have any excess water going on the object.

:27:03. > :27:06.In small circular motions, where you can, and you will notice after

:27:07. > :27:10.a little bit of time that the swab will be coming away sort of black.

:27:11. > :27:14.It's a fascinating job you've got, isn't it? It is, yes.

:27:15. > :27:17.What appeals to you most about it? This exciting material.

:27:18. > :27:19.It's treasure. When you talk about it with people, they get excited

:27:20. > :27:23.Yes, there is a special magic, isn't there,

:27:24. > :27:32.This landscape may have been unchanged for millennia

:27:33. > :27:36.but life in Iron Age Dovedale was certainly very different.

:27:37. > :27:41.and Britain was on the brink of invasion by the Romans.

:27:42. > :27:45.But who would want to bury such vast wealth, and why?

:27:46. > :27:50.That's what archaeologists are keen to discover.

:27:51. > :27:54.Dr Julia Farley from the University of Leicester may be able to

:27:55. > :27:58.So does it surprise you that Roman coins were up here in

:27:59. > :28:02.the Peak District before the Romans actually got here?

:28:03. > :28:05.It is surprising, and it's unusual in this area to find mixed hoards of

:28:06. > :28:08.Iron Age and Roman coins, and it's really unusual to find

:28:09. > :28:11.coin hoards from this period at all, which is right around the time of

:28:12. > :28:14.the Roman invasion in the South East of England.

:28:15. > :28:23.It's telling us, I think, that people who lived in this area,

:28:24. > :28:26.who we would think of as living in a more traditional Iron Age way,

:28:27. > :28:32.than we maybe suspected before we found this hoard.

:28:33. > :28:35.And how much would these coins be worth?

:28:36. > :28:37.Well, in the Iron Age, these were hugely valuable objects.

:28:38. > :28:40.Gold coins could have been used as a month's pay, or a season's pay,

:28:41. > :28:43.even, for a mercenary who had gone to fight overseas.

:28:44. > :28:45.So, each one of the coins individually would have been

:28:46. > :28:48.worth an awful lot at the time. Why do you think they were never claimed?

:28:49. > :28:51.Maybe the person who left them didn't survive.

:28:52. > :28:57.They might have been left as an offering, maybe for the gods.

:28:58. > :29:02.but at some other sites we find evidence

:29:03. > :29:04.they have been buried on ritual sites, maybe as offerings,

:29:05. > :29:10.and as ways of showing off your wealth, as well.

:29:11. > :29:14.Well, we'll probably never know why the Dovedale treasure hoard

:29:15. > :29:17.was buried, but after 2,000 years underground

:29:18. > :29:19.it is going to stay in the Peak District.

:29:20. > :29:34.it will go on permanent display at the Buxton Museum.

:29:35. > :29:37.Earlier, we heard claims that the value of the British shooting

:29:38. > :29:42.industry goes largely unrecognised, and, as Tom has been finding out,

:29:43. > :29:47.that concern goes far beyond traditional game shooting.

:29:48. > :29:54.These days, shooting is often more, well, stag do than stag hunting.

:29:55. > :29:58.Blasting away at clay pigeons or keeping your eye on the target

:29:59. > :30:03.is a lot less controversial than shooting at live birds.

:30:04. > :30:08.And according to new industry figures it is also now more popular.

:30:09. > :30:13.a range like this simply provides an enjoyable afternoon.

:30:14. > :30:20.A chance to try a new activity with a little bit of a kick to it.

:30:21. > :30:29.There are an estimated 600,000 people in the UK who shoot clays, but

:30:30. > :30:33.according to the British Association for Shooting and Conservation,

:30:34. > :30:36.the BASC, there is still not enough support

:30:37. > :30:40.for those who want to take up the sport more seriously.

:30:41. > :30:44.The one area where we think government could usefully put

:30:45. > :30:49.some money is into Olympic and Commonwealth sport.

:30:50. > :30:55.we are very good at winning gold medals in shooting.

:30:56. > :31:04.So, what does the current Olympic champion make of that?

:31:05. > :31:07.'And he does it! Peter Wilson has done it!

:31:08. > :31:12.'He has won gold for Great Britain. He held his nerve brilliantly.'

:31:13. > :31:20.and the man with the golden gun was Peter Wilson.

:31:21. > :31:23.Today, he is helping me to aim straight and true.

:31:24. > :31:27.There really are no excuses for me with you as a quality coach!

:31:28. > :31:31.If you let me take the weight of the gun. Sure.

:31:32. > :31:34.I am going to place it. That's where I want you to hold the gun.

:31:35. > :31:48.I may need a bit more support, but what about our Olympic hopefuls?

:31:49. > :31:52.Well, the amount of money being pumped into shooting via UK Sport

:31:53. > :31:57.As a result, we have new talent ID programmes being put into place,

:31:58. > :32:02.shooting has never been in such a healthy state.

:32:03. > :32:05.This is a very exciting time for shooting.

:32:06. > :32:08.So Peter doesn't feel the sport needs more support.

:32:09. > :32:13.But he does share the BASC's frustrations about red tape.

:32:14. > :32:14.I myself have had problems in the past

:32:15. > :32:19.I hear horror stories all round the country of people

:32:20. > :32:21.struggling to get their certificate back in time.

:32:22. > :32:25.you can't afford to not have your shotgun certificate with you.

:32:26. > :32:29.The UK's stringent laws on firearms also mean that our Olympic

:32:30. > :32:34.pistol shooters have to go abroad for training.

:32:35. > :32:42.But according to the BASC red tape isn't just impacting on our athletes.

:32:43. > :32:45.It's a problem for the country's unsung heroes,

:32:46. > :32:49.the farmers who keep the countryside running.

:32:50. > :32:54.who has a problem with foxes attacking his sheep.

:32:55. > :33:01.Ah, so there are young lambs? There we go. This is the one-eared sheep.

:33:02. > :33:05.I suspect the fox had hold of it, managed to get the ear,

:33:06. > :33:08.bit it off, the Lamb got away but minus the year.

:33:09. > :33:10.This year, we have probably lost about ten lambs.

:33:11. > :33:13.If we have problems with foxes, we shoot them.

:33:14. > :33:17.So, for you, shooting some wildlife is a key part of farming?

:33:18. > :33:19.Yes. It goes hand-in-hand with it, it has done ever

:33:20. > :33:23.since man first domesticated sheep like this. Yes.

:33:24. > :33:26.So you still need to be a shepherd watching his flock by night.

:33:27. > :33:35.It's not just fox attacks that keep him awake.

:33:36. > :33:41.Hugh says, left to their own devices, birds, too, would destroy his crops.

:33:42. > :33:44.So, what would happen if you did not control the pigeons?

:33:45. > :33:47.The last time we grew peas on this farm, about 25 years ago,

:33:48. > :33:49.there wasn't much in the way of pigeon control.

:33:50. > :33:53.The sky was black with pigeons and within two or three weeks they

:33:54. > :33:58.had eaten 16 acres of them and the whole crop was a complete write-off.

:33:59. > :34:03.So does Hugh agree with the BASC that red tape is making his job harder?

:34:04. > :34:05.So guns are important for your business,

:34:06. > :34:08.do you have problems getting a licence? Personally, myself, no.

:34:09. > :34:12.We have no problems getting firearms licences or shotgun licences.

:34:13. > :34:16.People say there is too much red tape.

:34:17. > :34:19.Personally, I think there is the right amount of regulation

:34:20. > :34:22.for the job in hand. It has never changed for 20 years.

:34:23. > :34:25.And it is adequate, given the risk involved in handing out gun licences

:34:26. > :34:30.These things need to be managed and governed properly.

:34:31. > :34:32.I have never heard anyone complain or moan

:34:33. > :34:43.Opinion over regulation is clearly divided.

:34:44. > :34:48.But with the UK's stringent gun laws in place to protect public safety

:34:49. > :34:56.any relaxation would be highly controversial.

:34:57. > :35:06.and encourages landowners to farm in a more environmentally friendly way

:35:07. > :35:10.in a manner that isn't solely motivated by subsidy.

:35:11. > :35:14.Now, whether you think that should be celebrated,

:35:15. > :35:26.will depend on your view of using these things to kill wildlife.

:35:27. > :35:29.Farmers have been working these lands for centuries,

:35:30. > :35:34.overcoming the many challenges that are thrown at them.

:35:35. > :35:38.This week, Adam has invited a vet to his farm who is

:35:39. > :35:44.an age-old problem with sheep - lameness.

:35:45. > :35:46.So Adam is getting up close to his flock.

:35:47. > :35:49.And this is not for the faint-heated.

:35:50. > :35:53.These are some of our commercial sheep, producing lamb for the table.

:35:54. > :35:58.We put them to a Texel ram to produce a good meat lamb.

:35:59. > :36:01.We are trying to get these lambs to about 40 kilos live weight

:36:02. > :36:04.and that one is getting there. He's nearly there.

:36:05. > :36:30.We have got a bit of a dilemma on our hands. This lamb is 37 kilos.

:36:31. > :36:36.At this time of year, there are not very many lambs coming to

:36:37. > :36:39.the marketplace across the country and the price is high.

:36:40. > :36:50.We get paid in pence per kilo. So we have this dilemma, a bit of a gamble.

:36:51. > :36:55.and get more kilos on them, but then the pence per kilo might have dropped

:36:56. > :37:10.because more lambs are coming onto the marketplace across the country?

:37:11. > :37:12.a great opportunity to check on their health.

:37:13. > :37:23.It also means we can treat them for problems we may find.

:37:24. > :37:26.At this time of year you get blowflies,

:37:27. > :37:29.which lay maggots on the sheep if they are dirty.

:37:30. > :37:32.And that is what Dave is protecting the lambs against.

:37:33. > :37:35.We are shearing the ewes soon, so we shouldn't have to do them,

:37:36. > :37:39.but this one has already been struck, as it's known in farming,

:37:40. > :37:42.when the flies have laid their eggs into a wet bit of fleece, the maggots

:37:43. > :37:46.have hatched out and they are starting to eat away at the sheep.

:37:47. > :37:49.And you can see it is sore and bloody on the surface of her skin here

:37:50. > :37:57.and as the maggots eat away at the sheep they secrete juices

:37:58. > :38:01.which attract more flies, that lay more eggs and create more maggots.

:38:02. > :38:05.Where the maggots have worked down her body there,

:38:06. > :38:08.they have been nibbling away at her flesh. And that is very sore.

:38:09. > :38:11.We will treat that with some antibiotic spray

:38:12. > :38:14.and then put some fly spray on to kill any other maggots.

:38:15. > :38:19.Because if it gets worse the maggots can eat the sheep alive.

:38:20. > :38:28.But thankfully, in this case, she will be absolutely fine.

:38:29. > :38:35.Thankfully, it is not too common, so it is easy to keep on top of.

:38:36. > :38:41.It is a fact of life which most farmers just learn to live with.

:38:42. > :38:44.We accept a certain percentage will be lame.

:38:45. > :38:48.with a brand-new approach to dealing with lameness.

:38:49. > :38:52.And, with a flock of more than 1,000 ewes, she is no stranger to it.

:38:53. > :38:55.We estimate about 8% to 10% of the national flock

:38:56. > :38:59.are lame at any one time. So that is a lot of animals involved.

:39:00. > :39:00.How many millions of sheep would that be?

:39:01. > :39:03.We reckon about three million lame sheep. Goodness!

:39:04. > :39:06.And not only causing pain to the animal,

:39:07. > :39:11.Yes, we're talking probably about ?23 million to the industry

:39:12. > :39:14.every year. And why is it like that? Why can't we sort it out?

:39:15. > :39:18.A huge concerted effort to deal with lameness,

:39:19. > :39:22.And I think we've had a lack of a practical solution

:39:23. > :39:26.And where does it come from? What is the cause?

:39:27. > :39:32.About 90% of lameness is due to a bacterial foot condition.

:39:33. > :39:35.We know it as foot rot, or scald. Right. Well, I've got a few here.

:39:36. > :39:49.Shall we take them up to the pens? Yes, let's go and have a look.

:39:50. > :39:52.With my sheep safely in the pen, we can check to see how many

:39:53. > :39:55.animals are affected by this crippling disease.

:39:56. > :40:00.The hoof is overgrown and I can smell it from here. Is that foot rot?

:40:01. > :40:03.Yes, that is foot rot for sure. Yes. That is pretty nasty, isn't it?

:40:04. > :40:06.So, what is it? It's a bacterium? Yes.

:40:07. > :40:10.Foot rot and scald, this is a bacterial condition of the foot.

:40:11. > :40:13.And, as you see, it causes this eating away at the foot.

:40:14. > :40:16.And it can start in-between the toes?

:40:17. > :40:18.Yes, it starts in-between the digits there

:40:19. > :40:24.and then eventually, as in this case, it tracks up the hoof wall.

:40:25. > :40:27.'This is where Ruth's ground-breaking approach to treating lameness

:40:28. > :40:34.'She came up with a five-point plan of action to combat the disease.

:40:35. > :40:51.What I would do now is grab some foot trimmers and trim off the dead horn.

:40:52. > :40:54.Very tempting. And it is what a lot of farmers would do

:40:55. > :40:57.and it's not to say that removing a bit of this

:40:58. > :41:01.but actually trimming it right back will be harmful.

:41:02. > :41:02.You will delay the healing of the foot.

:41:03. > :41:05.Better to put your foot trimmers away. Goodness me.

:41:06. > :41:08.I have been foot trimming lame sheep for ever, really.

:41:09. > :41:11.We used to routinely foot trim our sheep twice a year.

:41:12. > :41:13.We've now gone down to trimming just the lame ones.

:41:14. > :41:16.But you are saying, put the foot trimmers away, don't use them? Yes.

:41:17. > :41:18.You're not going to help the sheep to heal.

:41:19. > :41:21.You need to treat this particular foot with antibiotics.

:41:22. > :41:23.That is the only way it's going to heal up.

:41:24. > :41:30.So that's an antibiotic antiseptic spray that should help kill it.

:41:31. > :41:33.'Not trimming is a new approach but I'm happy to give it a go.

:41:34. > :41:40.'Once we've treated an animal, we mark it.

:41:41. > :41:43.'That way, we can see if the problem comes back.

:41:44. > :41:46.'If it does, then we need to adopt the second point

:41:47. > :41:52.So I mark them, take the tag number

:41:53. > :41:57.Does that sound sensible? Yeah, no, you need to do that

:41:58. > :42:00.but the other reason for marking her up at this stage is that

:42:01. > :42:03.you'll be able to see if she suffers from this disease again.

:42:04. > :42:06.And really what you need to be doing at weaning time is pulling out

:42:07. > :42:09.any ewes that are repeat offenders of foot rot and scald

:42:10. > :42:12.and culling them out. Get rid of them out of the flock?

:42:13. > :42:19.But these are the girls that are costing you money.

:42:20. > :42:25.We need to do as much as we can to avoid the disease being transmitted.

:42:26. > :42:29.Basically what you're seeing here is the sheep spreading the bacteria.

:42:30. > :42:32.And you can see the lambs walking behind her,

:42:33. > :42:35.And they could potentially be picking up the bacteria.

:42:36. > :42:40.So those dots is where the bacteria could be? Exactly, yes.

:42:41. > :42:44.Point three on Ruth's plan involves killing bacteria on the ground.

:42:45. > :42:46.You can't treat the whole of the farm,

:42:47. > :42:49.but by spreading lime across the high-risk zones, like gates

:42:50. > :42:54.and water troughs, there's a good chance of controlling the spread.

:42:55. > :43:00.Isolate new stock until you're sure they're free of lameness.

:43:01. > :43:08.Ideally, you'll be wanting to vaccinate twice a year

:43:09. > :43:12.and to correlate with the times of peak disease.

:43:13. > :43:14.So around this time of year would probably be ideal.

:43:15. > :43:17.These girls are probably about to be shorn, I would guess? Yes.

:43:18. > :43:20.So, off the shears would be ideal to correlate now

:43:21. > :43:22.and then also at winter housing time.

:43:23. > :43:24.So vaccination and all these other measures

:43:25. > :43:29.can be quite costly, time-consuming. Is that a problem?

:43:30. > :43:31.Well, I guess it seems like a big job.

:43:32. > :43:33.The important point to get across is that this is

:43:34. > :43:36.The endgame is going to be a lot less work

:43:37. > :43:38.and a lot less loss and waste for you.

:43:39. > :43:41.So if I can concentrate on those five points then,

:43:42. > :43:44.treating lame ones as quickly as I can with antibiotics, not trimming...

:43:45. > :43:49.Yes. Getting down lime around areas where there's concentrated feet.

:43:50. > :43:54.Isolating animals that can bring them onto the farm. Yes, yes.

:43:55. > :43:56.Vaccination... Yes. What was the last one?

:43:57. > :43:58.Culling out your worst offenders. Culling out

:43:59. > :44:02.And then how soon do you think we might see a major reduction

:44:03. > :44:06.Well, on our own farm we have about 1,000 ewes

:44:07. > :44:09.and we saw a pretty steep improvement within the first

:44:10. > :44:12.six months, down to less than 2%. And for the last three years

:44:13. > :44:15.we have been down to less than 1%. Goodness me! So it is significant.

:44:16. > :44:27.This could be a thing of the past for you. Wonderful.

:44:28. > :44:29.This beautiful landscape provides quiet sanctuary

:44:30. > :44:33.from the hustle and bustle of the towns and cities that flank it.

:44:34. > :44:37.One third of Sheffield is actually in the Peak District, which makes it

:44:38. > :44:46.the only UK city to have a national park within its boundaries.

:44:47. > :44:49.I do a walk called Elephant in the Park walk. Right.

:44:50. > :44:51.This year, it's on the 2nd of August.

:44:52. > :44:55.When Chamu Kuppuswamy first moved to Sheffield, she began looking for

:44:56. > :45:00.connections between the Peak District and the country of her birth - India.

:45:01. > :45:04.What were your first impressions of the Peak District?

:45:05. > :45:09.And I thought it was very, very quiet

:45:10. > :45:12.compared to the cities I have lived in in India, of course.

:45:13. > :45:15.And what about you in terms of your friends and your family and your

:45:16. > :45:19.culture, why did you think it was so important to find links with India?

:45:20. > :45:23.In some of these places, my memory was jogged about having read

:45:24. > :45:26.something, about India, about this place.

:45:27. > :45:29.That kind of said, well, there must be a lot of different links

:45:30. > :45:31.that would be really interesting to find out.

:45:32. > :45:35.I can have my own global interpretation of the National Park.

:45:36. > :45:41.And that really sparked the whole thing off.

:45:42. > :45:46.One of the most exciting links Chamu found was here in Millthorpe.

:45:47. > :45:49.Edward Carpenter was one of the village's former residents.

:45:50. > :45:54.Socialist, poet and philosopher, he had a fascination for Hinduism

:45:55. > :45:59.that led him on a life-changing journey to India.

:46:00. > :46:02.So, he was sort of a pioneer in that he went to India, he liked what

:46:03. > :46:06.he found about Hinduism and he brought it back here? Absolutely.

:46:07. > :46:09.He went to India because of all that he had heard about India

:46:10. > :46:11.and he also visited a guru over there.

:46:12. > :46:17.So he really strengthened his knowledge of Hinduism.

:46:18. > :46:21.This is Carpenter's former home in Millthorpe, where I'm meeting

:46:22. > :46:26.Fascinated by the life of Edward Carpenter, also known as the

:46:27. > :46:32.Saint in Sandals, she's researched his life extensively for her PhD.

:46:33. > :46:35.Helen, these look intriguing. Tell me about these.

:46:36. > :46:38.They are. I think people would have been very surprised

:46:39. > :46:42.when these appeared in this area in the 1890s.

:46:43. > :46:46.The sandals actually represent Edward Carpenter's relationship

:46:47. > :46:49.to India and the things that he liked about India

:46:50. > :46:51.and the things he brought back from India.

:46:52. > :46:56.These sandals represented something that was freedom for him.

:46:57. > :47:00.Freedom in terms of dress, and also the freedom of understanding

:47:01. > :47:04.that he found in India and brought back over to the Peaks with him.

:47:05. > :47:08.And this is something that people wanted him to spread the word about?

:47:09. > :47:11.Yes, absolutely. I believe this is a letter from Gandhi? It is, yes.

:47:12. > :47:15.So a little later on, Carpenter had been working into the early

:47:16. > :47:17.20th century, trying to spread these ideas.

:47:18. > :47:21.That brought him to the attention of Gandhi and Gandhi's circle.

:47:22. > :47:24.And Gandhi was very keen to write to Carpenter

:47:25. > :47:27.to ask him to take his ideas out into Gandhi's wider circle

:47:28. > :47:36.thinking about the Indian independence movement as well.

:47:37. > :47:39.Carpenter's connection to India flourished on his return home.

:47:40. > :47:43.His walks in the Peak District were now further inspired

:47:44. > :47:47.by ideas of Hinduism and soon influenced his writing.

:47:48. > :47:51."You are not to differentiate yourself from nature.

:47:52. > :47:54."It is only under such conditions that the little mortal creature

:47:55. > :47:59."gradually becomes aware of what he is."

:48:00. > :48:03.But there's an even more colourful local character who brought

:48:04. > :48:10.From 5,000 miles away in the Peak District,

:48:11. > :48:16.the livelihoods of Indian silk dyers, bringing new vibrancy to previously

:48:17. > :48:29.The fabric, when it first came to him, was unusable.

:48:30. > :48:33.When the silk is woven, it goes through gum so it doesn't break.

:48:34. > :48:37.they would put that on to strengthen it?

:48:38. > :48:39.To strengthen it, so they could weave.

:48:40. > :48:42.But he found a way to get that gum off and treat it

:48:43. > :48:48.And what he did was he prepared the fabric with salt, alkali,

:48:49. > :48:53.so then you could get the range of shades you wanted to get,

:48:54. > :48:58.like your pinks, your lighter shades of blue and so on.

:48:59. > :49:02.If it wasn't prepared you would be looking at dark greys

:49:03. > :49:06.So, initially, people were looking at Indian Tussar silk

:49:07. > :49:09.and saying, that is useless, that is no good to me.

:49:10. > :49:12.And Thomas Wardle said, we can make this work?

:49:13. > :49:16.Well, what he did was pretty remarkable, really.

:49:17. > :49:19.So Thomas Wardle has left a legacy among silk dyers.

:49:20. > :49:23.Has he left a legacy in India? I think he absolutely has.

:49:24. > :49:27.It gave the Indian silk industry a new market because there were

:49:28. > :49:35.more and more people who were interested in Tussar silk.

:49:36. > :49:38.And Wardle found another use for Tussar silk - producing

:49:39. > :49:46.which became a huge success when used to make waterproofs.

:49:47. > :49:50.And where would the Peak District be without them!

:49:51. > :49:52.Absolutely no need for waterproofs today

:49:53. > :50:10.Here is the Countryfile forecast for the week ahead.

:50:11. > :50:24.Thank you, Helen. Will we need waterproofs this week? Yes and no,

:50:25. > :50:28.and yes and no! A mix of sunny spells and a scattering of showers,

:50:29. > :50:36.some of those showers on the heavy side. The second half of the week

:50:37. > :50:44.has quite a different look to it. In the short term, on Monday we are

:50:45. > :50:53.between weather systems. The air is still unstable enough that the cloud

:50:54. > :50:54.will build up enough to make some showers, but there will be gaps

:50:55. > :51:09.between them. Monday afternoon, I think we could

:51:10. > :51:16.see a line of showers running up through south-west England to north

:51:17. > :51:31.of London. Temperatures could reach the low 20s. A fairly brisk breeze

:51:32. > :51:41.blowing across parts of Scotland, so could feel cooler. Most places

:51:42. > :51:52.holding in double figures over Monday night. High pressure trying

:51:53. > :52:10.to build in from the west on Tuesday. A fairly quiet day, light

:52:11. > :52:17.winds, sunny spells. Watch out for some showers down the East Coast.

:52:18. > :52:27.Going through Tuesday night and into Wednesday, this area of low pressure

:52:28. > :52:32.is developing. But there is also a weather system trying to push in

:52:33. > :52:37.from the west. It is a question of which one is going to win. It looks

:52:38. > :52:47.as though one Wednesday we will did clear the rain. But Wednesday night

:52:48. > :52:54.into Thursday, the risk increases of seeing more persistent rain edging

:52:55. > :53:01.in from the North Sea. The computer models are all giving different

:53:02. > :53:12.answers. Potentially heavy rain in eastern areas, but less of a chance

:53:13. > :53:15.in the West. We could well see some reasonably high temperatures under

:53:16. > :53:24.the warm air, but the detail for Friday is elusive. I think what

:53:25. > :53:27.perhaps we can say is that looking beyond that and into the next

:53:28. > :53:30.weekend, these weather systems out in the Atlantic look as though they

:53:31. > :53:40.might start to win, so we The Peak District was Britain's

:53:41. > :53:50.first national park Around 20 million people live within

:53:51. > :54:00.just one hour's drive. Ten million people visit

:54:01. > :54:02.the Peak District every year and it is surrounded by diverse

:54:03. > :54:06.Northern towns and cities. But only 1% of the people that come

:54:07. > :54:12.here are from ethnic minorities. She has discovered some surprising

:54:13. > :54:17.connections between the Peaks In an area synonymous with the right

:54:18. > :54:25.to roam movement back in the 1930s, Chamu is at the forefront of a new

:54:26. > :54:30.kind of campaign, encouraging people from ethnic minorities to get out and

:54:31. > :54:36.enjoy what the area has to offer. This place is just amazing in terms

:54:37. > :54:40.of being able to walk in it and being able to get anywhere you

:54:41. > :54:43.want. With the help of a map you are able to explore so much

:54:44. > :54:47.of the countryside, which for me So walking and rambling isn't

:54:48. > :54:52.something that you would have done I mean, we do a lot of walking,

:54:53. > :54:56.but in cities. Nothing like in the countryside. The

:54:57. > :55:00.countryside is really off-limits. And also there isn't a map

:55:01. > :55:05.that you can actually use. So therefore it's not somewhere

:55:06. > :55:08.where you would naturally What you think is stopping people

:55:09. > :55:13.from ethnic minorities coming out and enjoying the Peak District?

:55:14. > :55:16.A number of different factors. Information about the fact

:55:17. > :55:19.that there is access and there is the right to roam

:55:20. > :55:21.in this area is one of the least known

:55:22. > :55:24.bits of information, I think. National parks are looked at as

:55:25. > :55:27.conservation areas where people don't inhabit - that is the kind of

:55:28. > :55:30.parks people encounter in India. But why do you think it is important

:55:31. > :55:33.for people to come out here? into the countryside

:55:34. > :55:42.is really great. First of all, they asked me,

:55:43. > :55:58."Is it safe? "If you go, do you actually

:55:59. > :56:03.patrol on your own?!" Chamu's regular walks

:56:04. > :56:06.reveal the links with her Indian heritage

:56:07. > :56:09.and are a great way of getting more people from ethnic

:56:10. > :56:14.minorities into the Peak District. I love cities,

:56:15. > :56:17.but on a nice day like this My principle is, the world

:56:18. > :56:24.is my school and nature is my book. You learn a lot of things

:56:25. > :56:28.from nature, read a lot of things. A lot of understanding

:56:29. > :56:31.through nature. I guess I like everything

:56:32. > :56:34.about the Peak District. it's calm and I'm, like, pretty

:56:35. > :56:40.much interested in the flora so every time I come here

:56:41. > :56:48.I find something new to look at. Researching links with India,

:56:49. > :56:51.becoming a ranger, Just walking on the grass

:56:52. > :57:31.and feeling the stone over there, being in a classroom where the

:57:32. > :57:39.surface is very, very different. But I'm pretty sure that this is

:57:40. > :57:45.the first time that we have ever done Bharatanatyam, Indian dancing,

:57:46. > :57:57.in a national park on Countryfile! With moves like this, it is no wonder

:57:58. > :58:14.word seems to have got around. From the John Craven school of dance.

:58:15. > :58:18.That was impressive. Thank you,

:58:19. > :58:20.what a fantastic way to end the show. will be exploring

:58:21. > :58:29.breathtaking Gower in South Wales Will they have sunshine as good

:58:30. > :58:32.as this? I doubt it. From us, in the stunning scenery

:58:33. > :58:34.of the Peak District, it's goodbye. If your friend was taken away...

:58:35. > :59:08.# Not giving in... # I'm afraid

:59:09. > :59:11.there's not much we can do. ..how would you fight

:59:12. > :59:13.to get her back? This is wrong. I'm not going to

:59:14. > :59:17.carry on as if nothing has happened.
