Danny savage reports from the yorkshire dales. Across large parts of britain at the moment there is a lack of water. A dry spring, preceded by low winter rainfall, has left many riverbeds exposed. This wouldnt be an unusual widespread sight in late summer but its rare in may. When i had a ride around up there on friday, you get a lot of small ponds and wet holes that are usually there all year round. Theyre all dried out, theyre absolutely bone dry, theres nothing at all in the bottom of them. Stuart herd has farmed here all his life. The Riverbed Drying Up is not unheard of but hes noticed the Hillside Springs arent right. You can tell that its been a lot drier because were actually noticing sheep that have come down to parts of the river where the water is still running, Noticing Sheep Standing on the river bank drinking. Whereas ordinarily they would be spread about up on these fells and drinking out of Little Springs and streams and things like that, which suggests there isnt as much water up there as what there has been in other times. Southern england has seen the driest conditions with just over half the average rainfall since lastjuly. The Water Company affinity says people must do their bit to avoid restrictions later in the year. And these pictures were taken in Northern England over the last few days, showing rivers many miles apart in a similar condition. But Yorkshire Water says there shouldnt be widespread alarm. I think nationally its been very dry. Up in yorkshire its been a dry winter, probably the driest in the last six years, but we have seen recharge, every other month weve seen some rainfall but in the last six weeks we have just seen it dry. A few dry months doesnt make a drought, though. It may be bone dry in some of the headwaters of these River Catchments but were a long way from a water crisis. A few miles down the valley, the wharf looks a lot more healthy, and Reservoir Levels are holding up too. A prolonged dry spell may change things but it would have to be for months. Danny savage, bbc news, Upper Wharfedale in north yorkshire. Now on bbc news its time for The Travel Show. Coming up this week on The Travel Show rajan is in jerusalem, the worlds holiest city. This is, for christianity, the most important place in the world. Quite an incredible experience to be here. We touch down in st martin for a Spot Ofjet Blasting and to check out a Music Festival aimingto entice a younger crowd to the caribbean island. And taking the perfect snap we head to the Lake District to capture one of the uks most photographed landscapes. I want people to see my pictures and think, wow, you know, thats inspiring. But its something they can see with their own eyes. Jerusalem is one of the world capitals of religious tourism. And easter and passover make for its busiest weeks. And a particular hotspot is the church of the holy sepulchre, where some believejesus is buried. Rajan got rare access to the newly renovated tomb. They calljerusalem the worlds holiest city. Its also one of the most conflicted. Politics aside, the Fact Isjerusalem has monuments that are sacred to three of the worlds biggest religions. Like the western wall, for those of the jewish faith. For muslims, there is the distinctive Dome Of The Rock shrine. And then, deep in the heart of the old city, through the damascus gate, is christendoms most important church. So tucked away on the edge of the muslim and christian quarters, right in the marketplace, is the church of the holy sepulchre. Not easy to find, but its somewhere around here. And look. Tiny little sign. Holy sepulchre. And i can hear something happening. Now, whats unusual about this church is that its actually shared by six different christian denominations. To be precise, roman catholics, greek orthodox, armenian orthodox, syrians, coptics and ethiopians. This ceremony is led by the armenian church. They come from all over the world, 3. 5 Million People a year, they reckon, to visit the church of the holy sepulchre. Its a pilgrimage that evokes a response like no other. For us its no more, no less than the holiest place on earth. Thats wherejesus died, thats where he was crucified, thats where he was risen three days afterwards. So for us that is, i mean, the history of humanity, thats what makes that there is before and after christ. It simply changed the history of humanity. 2,000 years ago, this was an empty plot of land outside the old city walls. Now look at it. They might all agree the Resurrection Of Christ took place here, but the truth is that the six different denominations havent always been ideal housemates in this church. Sometimes we didnt agree. There have been fight inside the holy sepulchre, thats for sure. Physicalfight . Even physicalfights. This may be christianitys most important church, but the guy whos got the key is muslim. Adeeb, hi. This is the key to this church . This is the holy key of the holy church. How come you have it and yourfamily have it . They gave our family to be the custodian of the holy sepulchre church, and its going from father to son. The church had previously been destroyed in the early part of the 11th century by the then ruling caliphs. And in trusting it to a muslim family sounded like the safest bet to insure it against future attacks. Every morning at liam, adeeb opens the door, then has to return to lock it in the evening. Hes not paid for this duty. Im proud about thisjob, and we are here injerusalem muslims and christians, we are living together. We are brothers here. Disaster has struck twice over the centuries, with a fire and an earthquake causing extensive damage. And throughout, arguments became very fierce and protracted between the different denominations, as to how and who was going to fix the thing. They could not reach any consensus, any agreement, so in order not to talk waiting for the restoration of the holy sepulchre, they decided it would remain as it is and let us start the restoration of the rest of the compound. Because of all the infighting it took a long time for all the parties to agree on a Restoration Plan for the ageing church. And even after that, its taken 60 years to renovate the shrine. We were lucky enough to be granted a truly rare privilege, to go and film inside the newly renovated burial chamber, called the edicule. This is where christians believe jesuss body was laid to rest after he died on the cross. This is, for christianity, the most important place in the world. Just this little square of two or three metres. Exactly at the heart of it all. Quite an incredible experience to be here. Billions of christians think of this place as the Spiritual Centre of their universe. The extensive Restoration Work took nine months, working on the small structure above the tomb. There are two marble slabs over the sepulchre, one exactly covering the bench carved from Rock Thatjesus is said to be laid on. Archaeological proofs are quite consistent to say thatjesus was crucified on calgary, which is inside this building. And laid into the tomb, which is inside also. Afterwards, what happened three days afterwards, it belongs to the faith, as we believe he was risen. Jesus of nazareth, that he was crucified and laid in the tomb, there is many, many proofs, Historical Proofs that are showing that. The one side is the conflict, but the other side is the effort to run this place and do it together. And i think thats somehow a miracle. And thats a thought echoed by the many other millions of pilgrims who come here each year, delighted that restoration has finally been achieved, and cohabitation of all the churches continues. Stay with us, because still to come on The Travel Show were in the Lake District to capture one of the uks photographed landscapes. I like to soak up these landscapes, you know, i like to take in the atmosphere. There is a real sense of wilderness that appeals to me in these places. And we head to the french caribbean for Music Festival aiming to help diversify saint martin. During the winter everybodys from, like, up north, and its cold and they need a place to go where its hot. And you cannot beat the island life. Chances are if i say festival youll think of glastonbury in the uk or coachella in the us. Now a Sleepy Caribbean Nation has decided to get in on the act in a bid to attract more young people. But does it have what it takes to draw a party crowd . We sent Greg Mckenzie to find out. St maarten, or saint martin, depending on which part of the island you are on, is the smallest island in the world. And the partition between two different nations. A french side and a dutch side. Technically, its two different countries, and attracts more than 2 million visitors every year. Its airport, princess juliana international, is truly unique, because on one side you have a public beach, on the other there is a huge mountain range. Pilots say its one of the scariest landings in the world, and its easy to see why. Just ahead their is the a340, that has flown in from paris. The people on there have been on board for about eight hours and 30 minutes. The landing just behind us, the Runway Length is about 7000 feet. Traditionally, aircraft of that size need about 8000 feet to land safely. There is only a tiny margin of error, if any. Its the second Busiest Airport in the caribbean. And exciting as it is to watch landings from the beach, its even more thrilling to see aircraft take off. This is what they calljet blasting. In a minute were going to all get pushed back. Its already started jet blasting is when you stand as close as you can get to an aeroplane taking off, and there are not many places in the world where you would be able to get this close. It became an attraction just on its own. Rolando brison is the director of tourism. He is tasked with making sure visitors have fun and dont injure themselves. In 2012, this Jet Blasting Video went viral. It shows a woman being blown off her feet after losing her grip by deliberately standing in the jet blast of a plane taking off here. Fortunately, she didnt suffer any life changing injuries. But it did prompt authorities to act by erecting more fences to increase the distance between people and objects. We had to take whatever measures we could, and fencing did create at least a little more separation that was necessary, another ten feet of space to prevent people getting too close. There is a security aspect, patrolling during the busy times to make sure there are not too many people, that we can keep it under control. The fencing is an important part, there is an International Standard for it as well. How far should an aircraft be from on the road . So that fence is there to make sure we abide by those International Standards. But its next to impossible to police this speech 2a hours a day, and its an activity that still draws hundreds of visitors daily. Were you worried it might be dangerous . Depending how hard they rev the engines, but the first one wasnt bad. The third one, that was crazy. Crazy, crazy. And despite jet black stink being seen as a young but risky sport, the island is trying to appeal to younger crowd. The majority of those coming are in their 50s and 605. Saint martin is traditionally known as a musical island. Youll find all sorts here from reggae music to samba to calypso. A new Music Festival is aiming to bring something uniquely different to the island. Now in its second year, the Sxm Festival Aptly named after the countrys airport code, is hoping to bring a new type of visitor. Millennials for a five day Electronic Music extravaganza. With more than 100 top name djs. A lot of the routes of what is modern dance culture started in the caribbean, it started with Sound System Culture Injamaica and all of these other places. You know, the guys who bring the massive systems. They were experimenting with sound. They started experimenting with dubs. This is where remixes came from. So, there is a long history and tradition to kind of Electronic Music and experimentation in the caribbean. But some locals didnt want an electronic Music Festival on their shores. They wanted this little known island to be the Best Kept Secret and remain exclusive. Not everyone was happy, of course, but i think its because of the style of music. That type of music in general scares people, because people look different and dress different. So last year thats how it kind of felt. But i think everyone, all the businesses, realise the importance of having such an event. The festival takes place every march and attracts about 4000 people. It is the brainchild ofjulian prince, a lifelong dj and music promoterfrom canada, who wanted to create something unique, away from the club scene in places like ibiza. Ibiza is like the motherland, its everything. They built this culture. So its not like were trying to compete. Its just, honestly, i thought that for the longest time ever nothing was really happening in North America. I just felt like we should have Something Like that during the winter. Everybodys from, like, up north, and its called them and they need a place to go. Where its hot and, like, you cannot beat the island vibe. Despite this event, still in its infancy, the future looks bright, as organisers are already planning next yea rs event. As other festivals around the globe begin to tire, or become too commercial, with the caribbean as its backdrop, music is only part of the reason why sxm has the advantage. Greg mckenzie reporting from a very warm looking saint martin. Now, to end this weeks show, lets head to the north of england and the Lake District. Its landscapes have inspired a thousand artists and painters over the centuries. But now weve met a photographer who captures its rugged beauty with a camera. And sometimes hell go to extraordinary lengths just to get the right shot. My names terry abraham. Im a self taught, independent film maker. Ive always had an interest in film and video. I always wanted to be hands on, outdoors, doing Something Like that. I love all the british countryside, and i think britains fantastic in the variety, the terrain, the geology. The aesthetic appeal of the landscapes that we have, in such you know, this small group of islands. I dont think theres anywhere else in the uk like the Lake District. You know, every mountain, orfell, as theyre known around here, has its own character. It looks different. Theyre all individual. And thats the same for the valleys, as well, you know, with all the lakes, the stone walls, the beautiful, picturesque postcard cottages, and all that kind of thing. And i can see why four centuries public, artists, writers have been drawn here, inspired by this landscape, and im no different. Im a self taught film maker. Im born of the digital age, if you like, you know, with the likes of youtube, how it democratised film making. Being able to edit videos on a laptop or computer, and the technologies developed with smaller professional cameras, has enabled me to go out there and chase a dream of producing documentaries, these landscapes. I tend to wild camp, which is basically pitching up a tent on the top of a mountain, totally self reliant. You have your food, you seek your water, because that enables me to be there, ready and prepared, and nice and fresh at those special moments. I like to soak up these landscapes, you know, i like to take in the atmosphere. There is a real sense of wilderness that appeals to me in these places. I would often tweet what id just taken, you know, the scenes i had been capturing on camera. Because i might be filming, but at the same time ill have a stills camera with me and ill take a picture and share it on the social media. I do appreciate that people like to follow the journey im on whilst working on the documentaries. Share the sights that i see. That was a good shot, that. I get a bit embarrassed and blush at times with some of the praise that i get for my work. I mean, one of the documentaries has been described as a wordsworthian hymn to nature. Though its nice, getting the audience response, being so positive and overwhelming in that respect, its about capturing a sort of portrait, a time capsule of these areas that mean so much to me. I dont think theres anything special about the way i go about capturing the shots that i do. Any photographer worth their salt will tell you the best times of day for capturing a landscape is arguably, more often than not, at least, dawn or dusk. I want people to see my pictures and think, wow, you know, thats inspiring. But its something they can see with their own eyes. I certainly wouldnt go back to the deskjob, or working in a pub, and stuff like that, that i used to do before. Look at it, you know. Its fantastic. And i get to enjoy this all the time. It really is about being in the right place at the right time. And there is a large element of luck as well. Terry abraham and his beautiful photos of the Lake District. Well, thats it for this week. Join us next week if you can, when were in colombia to visit the hometown of one of its most infamous residents, pablo escobar. If you look in here, theres a plaque on the wall with little white crosses. And thats a memorial to, i think, the amount of people they think were killed here when pablo was here. But is it right to build an industry around a former drug lord . Dont keep those memories anymore, please. Respect us. Thats next week but in the meantime you can catch up with us an social media and online. All the details on the screen now. But for now, from me, christa larwood, and the rest of The Travel Show team, its goodbye. Hello. We are watching a weather change later this week which will bring some rain to some areas that have been mainly dry, now, for several weeks. Until then, though, it is as you were. This is how it looked on the the Satellite Picture on monday. Cool in the cloud, warm in the sunshine. Variable cloud in the next few days. But the main theme is until the end of the week, most places are going to stay dry. And thats with High Pressure stretched across the uk. We are waiting for low pressure to make a move. I will show you that later this week. It will not be bone dry on tuesday, though. There will be enough cloud to the far north east of scotland, especially in the northern isles, giving occasional light rain and drizzle. Sunshine pretty limited, though, to begin the day. This is sam. Sunny spells in scotland. Especially in Northern Ireland. Plenty of blue skies to begin the day. But a lot of cloud over much of england and wales, leaving western fringes with some sunshine to begin with but elsewhere you can see the cloud cover across much of the Midlands Into Yorkshire and east anglia. And its another single figure temperature start to the day. 0n the cool side like recent mornings. Some sunshine here, though, to the south coast. Now, as the day goes on, well nibble at this cloud. Some will start cloudy will eventually see sunshine coming through. Thats more of wales and the west midlands. But the east midlands, east anglia, parts of yorkshire, rather cloudy. Maybe the odd spot of drizzle, but essentially its dry. Some rain in the northern isles. Cold with the cloud. Warmer in south east england. The breeze is less noticeable on the north sea coast. A bit more cloud into scotland through tuesday night into wednesday morning. But then for wednesday, we will start elsewhere clear and quite chilly. Temperatures lower than this away from large cities and town centres. Some areas will be close to freezing, so gardeners take note of the potential impact on delicate plants of this cold temperature. A sunny start on wednesday especially in england and wales. Southern scotland and Northern Ireland seeing sunny spells. More cloud the further north you are in scotland. More cloud acroos the north of scotland, the further north you are in scotland, some outbreaks of rain around. Some warmth in the sunshine again. Warmer around the north sea coast compared with recent days. 0n then on thursday, whilst most places staying dry, variable cloud and sunny spells. Cloud building in the south of the uk. We begin to get showers and outbreaks of rain. That will lift northwards into friday and saturday. Its not going to be a washout. As we move from High Pressure to low pressure, though, there will be rain in areas that have nothing very much for quite some time.
