	Description:		Allowing vehicles to travel across two unmade roads through the Lake District is causing consternation for walkers. But the lanes in Little Langdale are designated as unsurfaced county roads and by law, vehicles are allowed along them. The Lake District National Park Authority has refused to stop the vehicles with a traffic regulation order, because their evidence isn't clear enough to warrant that. We visit one of the biggest insect farms in the UK in Cambridgeshire. Arable farmer David Lemon farms near Marlborough in Wiltshire. The recent wet weather means his planting is months late, and he's anticipating next year's yields will be down by a fifth. Presented by Anna Hill and produced by Beatrice Fenton.
