What is Flugtag?
This is an amazing event organised by Red bull and this year is being held in Leeds! The date is 17th July and it will be held in Roundhay Park. If you are one of the uninitiated in this event it is a sponcered flying competition which is marked not only on distance flown but creativity of the craft and perfomance. Marks are also given for the efforts of the ground crew working to gain you support with the crowds who will gather in their thousands to watch. Flugtag - means flying day in German. www.redbull.co.uk/cs/Satellite/en_UK/Red-Bull-Flugtag-2011/001242980500328

Spoiler for the 2nd Week of the Dales
In this episode we meet Alex Wilkes who is taking her Thoroughbred cows to compete in the Yorkshire Show in Harrogate and how cows are prepared for showing at this top level event. We go back to see Philip Mellin who at 16 is part of a two person team running the family farm and today is the day he learns how to shear a sheep which is no mean feet as the average sheep ways 150 pounds (a bit less after sheering!) and it is a physically demanding task. We also meet Tom Orde-Powlett heir to the Bolton Castle estate learn about his estate and the things he is doing to move it into the 21st century and make it economically viable. For more information on this historic Castle just follow the link to see the year round events. http://www.boltoncastle.co.uk/metadot/index.pl
