The steep slopes and craggy outcrops in the Lake District make for an unforgiving terrain, especially for those who have to work the land. 

But for one local sheep farmer this tough landscape is a training ground for his sporting passion: fell-running.

Joss Naylor has farmed his whole life in the Lake District but from that farming life came a love of fell running. 

And at 82 he stills regularly gets up onto the hilltops in search of isolation and calm.

Matt Baker is in Wasdale to give Joss, who is a childhood hero, a hand herding up the rams and to pick up a few fell-running tips from the man who smashed the Lake District 24-hour fell record three times!

With a few extra Jerseys supplementing their Friesian herd, the brothers seem to have found the perfect recipe...

French farmers call it 'Agroforestry' - a modern name for what is actually an age-old practice.  

Trees and shrubs are grown side by side with crops and livestock, which can improve yields, help with soil erosion and increase biodiversity.

It's being embraced in a big way in France where t

But could it catch on in the UK?

Today the Lake District boasts many meres and inland waterways but one was nearly lost to a reservoir over half a century ago. 

Lord Birkett saved Ullswater from being flooded and soon after the yacht club set up a race in his name, which today draws hundreds of entrants. 

Steve Brown is setting sail and meeting some local entrants to the race to find out what makes this part of the lakes such a great training ground.

Over the past 30 years, wildlife photography has become massively popular. 

Today nearly everyone owns a camera, if only on their smartphone. but what makes a good wildlife photographer? 

Ellie Harrison meets a group of students who are learning how to marry up wildlife knowledge and photography skills to make the best of what’s on offer. 

But have they got what it takes and what delights will they find at Foulshaw Moss?
