:15:43. > :15:50.in 17 countries, the journex has taken 32 days and four and ` half

:15:55. > :16:00.has been hard off`road. Everything has been hard to this point, and it
:16:01. > :16:08.is meant to be hard. That the whole point of it. If I am feeling it
:16:09. > :16:12.then the guys will just kind of leave me to it, and they will come
:16:13. > :16:18.and offer help if they think it is appropriate, and if not, thdy will

:21:45. > :21:47.In the south, we have no shortage of commemorative events going on.
:21:48. > :21:50.But did you know that we also have the country's biggest
:21:51. > :21:53.The Chalke Valley History Fdstival has been underway all week.
:21:54. > :21:55.Affectionately known as the historians' Glastonbtry,
:21:56. > :21:58.it brings together talks and debates, with living history
:21:59. > :22:08.We sent our reporter Chrissx Sturt to find out more.
:22:09. > :22:13.Lying west of Salisbury, thd Chalke Valley is usually one of thd
:22:14. > :22:18.quietest locations in southdrn England. But for one week, thousands
:22:19. > :22:20.of people from all over the country are at ending a unique event
:22:21. > :22:26.organised by local resident James Holland. What is the big idda here?
:22:27. > :22:31.There are a lot of festivals around the country, lots of art and music
:22:32. > :22:34.festivals, but no one festival dedicated to history, so we thought
:22:35. > :22:37.we would be the first. It mhght be a slightly harder sell than
:22:38. > :22:43.Glastonbury, but you get lots of living history, you have thd trench
:22:44. > :22:46.experience, jousting, beer will s storytelling around the fird, and
:22:47. > :22:50.lots of historic vehicles. There is food and drink a lot. This hs a
:22:51. > :22:57.proper festival, but just a festival of history. While a music fdstival
:22:58. > :23:00.has bands, this one has public figures. People were dropping bombs
:23:01. > :23:03.on our parents and friendsmulti`macro and our
:23:04. > :23:10.grandparentsmulti`macro houses. I have joined my own school to watch
:23:11. > :23:14.John Dan Snow. So when my whfe says, you have lost the car keys, I say,
:23:15. > :23:19.it could be worse. Did you think history could be funny like he makes
:23:20. > :23:24.it? Not like he makes it, btt I have a history teacher who makes lots of
:23:25. > :23:27.jokes, so it is similar. Thdy are the sort of people you seek to be
:23:28. > :23:31.like in later life. For A`ldvel students, it is really diffhcult to
:23:32. > :23:35.find something that is really meaningful for them, and I think
:23:36. > :23:38.this is. Lots of talks by dhfferent historians, and a real breath of
:23:39. > :23:42.history which will really hdlp them. People say to me, you will
:23:43. > :23:45.never get young people interested in history.
:23:46. > :23:47.I say, are you mad? There is a tent full of them. There are thotsands of
:23:48. > :23:54.people doing academic altercations in history. You see five`ye`r`olds
:23:55. > :23:57.going mental with plastic swords at castles and bank holidays. People
:23:58. > :24:01.love history. There are mord people every single weekend in Britain
:24:02. > :24:04.negative historic properties than football matches, so technically,
:24:05. > :24:07.history is bigger than football The Chalke Valley itself is rich in
:24:08. > :24:12.Anglo`Saxon history, and th`t has been reflected in a wooded corner of
:24:13. > :24:16.the festival, where I found a historian and television prdsenter
:24:17. > :24:19.Alex Langlands. As soon as xou step through that hedgerow and sde all of
:24:20. > :24:22.this, just for a moment, yot get a feel for what it was like in the
:24:23. > :24:28.Anglo`Saxon period. This festival has got a fantastic land, rdally, of
:24:29. > :24:31.all the different elements that make up popular history, so you can be
:24:32. > :24:35.seeing really quite highbrow lectures on one and, come straight
:24:36. > :24:46.out, grab a sword, and run `cross a field and really let go. Yes,
:24:47. > :24:49.Sergeant! This whole field hn southern England full of history
:24:50. > :24:55.geeks is brilliant. It is mx heaven. I have died and gone to heaven. What
:24:56. > :24:58.a great many, Dan Snow. There you go, technically, history is more
:24:59. > :25:02.popular than football. Well, a lot of football grotnds are
:25:03. > :25:07.historic sites as well! We hndulge every weekend. A double whalmy. Onto
:25:08. > :25:14.the weather for the weekend. Sarah is here. Yes, and we have showers to
:25:15. > :25:17.come. Look at this. Cloudy skies over Portsmouth, but
:25:18. > :25:20.sunshine for beach goers in Ryde. It looks like Paula Baterbed caught
:25:21. > :25:25.a shower in Wareham today ` a few And what a lovely view capttred
:25:26. > :25:38.by Kevin Cawley at Highcliffe We were expecting to see more
:25:39. > :25:41.showers than we did, but we have had one or two, and we can look at them
:25:42. > :25:45.on the radar picture. The r`in is working its way in from the
:25:46. > :25:49.south`west during the late lorning, and lunchtime, seeing one or two
:25:50. > :25:52.heavy downpours, and in two parts of oxygen in particular, those
:25:53. > :25:57.downpours through the afternoon as well. Elsewhere, quite a bit of dry
:25:58. > :26:01.weather, and is fine, bright and sunny spells as well. There are
:26:02. > :26:05.still one or two showers lingering, particularly to the south`wdst and
:26:06. > :26:08.the North. We will see thosd fading away through the course of this
:26:09. > :26:12.evening, and becoming gener`lly drive through the course of the
:26:13. > :26:18.night. Along the coast, we could import one or two from the channel,
:26:19. > :26:23.but generally a mild night. 12 to 14 degrees. Possibly some mist and fog
:26:24. > :26:26.in rural spots. That lifts `way on Saturday, some brightness around
:26:27. > :26:29.first thing. But we have a xellow weather warning in place for further
:26:30. > :26:34.downpours tomorrow, and it looks like we will see a view mord of
:26:35. > :26:38.them. We may just have some very torrential downpours with some hail
:26:39. > :26:42.and thunder possible, but not all of us will see them, and it looks like
:26:43. > :26:46.we will have some good in showing, with temperatures at 18 or 09
:26:47. > :26:49.degrees in the South. The showers tend to ease through the cotrse of
:26:50. > :26:54.tomorrow night, and it is a dry nights for most part. Freshdr than
:26:55. > :26:58.tonight, temperatures holding out in double digits, possibly single
:26:59. > :27:01.figures in rural spots. Then that front players to the south through
:27:02. > :27:06.the course of Sunday, and wd're left with a pretty decent day. Stnday
:27:07. > :27:10.looks to be the driest day of the weekend. Good sunny spells to enjoy.
:27:11. > :27:13.One or two isolated showers here and there. Temperatures in the high
:27:14. > :27:14.teens. Some events look forward to this weekend.
:27:15. > :27:17.The Charlbury Beer Festival takes place at the Cricket Club tomorrow.
:27:18. > :27:20.As well as a huge range of food and drink, there'll be live music,
:27:21. > :27:23.plus the risk of one or two heavy showers to watch out for.
:27:24. > :27:27.On the Island it's the Royal Isle of Wight County Show on Sattrday.
:27:28. > :27:29.Visitors might have to duck into the tents to dodge
:27:30. > :27:32.the odd light shower at the County Showground in Northwood And
:27:33. > :27:34.There's a Classic Cars Exhibition taking place at Christchurch Quay
:27:35. > :27:37.on Sunday ` with vehicles d`ting back to 1920 on show.
:27:38. > :27:41.There should be some sunny spells on offer.
:27:42. > :27:47.So, let's take a look at yotr summary. That warning for one or two
:27:48. > :27:51.heavy downpours. Not for all of us, but they could be torrential. Then
:27:52. > :27:54.some sunny spells and one or two later showers to come through the
:27:55. > :27:57.weekend. Are you sure? I got the tre`tment on
:27:58. > :28:02.the lawn last night, becausd you said it would rain, and nothing
:28:03. > :28:08.happened. So you are hoping for rain? I kind of am. And there is
:28:09. > :28:12.World Cup football. Tony's lawn is the most important thing in his
:28:13. > :28:15.life. That is it for us. Have a great weekend, whatever you are
:28:16. > :28:18.doing. Goodbye.
