Beautiful autumnal colours on this Lake District hike: bagging 2 Wainwrights in the Southern Fells: Holme Fell and Black Fell.

Along the way, we consider a spate of recent acts of cultural heritage vandalism, including: the destruction of the world famous sycamore tree at Yew Tree Gap on Hadrian's Wall and The Crooked House pub in the Midlands. We also look at the less widely reported vandalism that took place at Beggar's Bridge near Glaisdale on the North York Moors, plus Brimham Rocks a few years back.

It's difficult to get one's head round the motives of the individuals behind these crimes. What makes people do things like this and is it part of an increasing trend? Let us know what you think in the comments below. ENGAGE NOW!

Hopefully you'll enjoy the scenic backdrops to this stunning walk - it took ages to film and was exhausting.
