knew it was coming to cost her mom was expecting a few relaxing days of sightseeing and strolling through the city so it was a bit of a surprise when our first stop was a wild and windy village and there was an eerie howling in the background. this may not look like the most hospitable weather but if you were certain type of person. this is pretty much paradise because this is the home of the northern hope center and as we're about to see it's like a united nations of races right here in. this is no wooden reportage mushers have traveled here from australia canada and the usa because as well as putting on contests northern hope is a refuge and therapy center for young people but i'm really well known for mentoring of teenagers in life through the dog through dog sledding bombers flown all the way from california to take part the work that i do with teenagers in

america is very similar to what she does with the boys is using the dogs as a way for the boys to be able to reconnect with other people so it's a great way a great lesson to teach them about being self-confident and truthful and focus and determination and you can teach that by using the dogs as an example of how well you're doing with the. premier. this is pretty much what i do when i'm training him. i find that exhibiting dogs at shows is great fun. and day to day handling of dogs use is also very interesting. i'm told as someone who's felt the benefits first time and he came to live at the center three years ago and is now a qualified race referee he says it's really turned his on the other boys lives around

this is you have mother nature changes completely and so does your treatment of the animal world. and he certainly popular with the residents do. you see he's really fond of having his belly. but in the ok let's go home. there were plenty of last minute preparations going on this is a long race and the dogs have to be checked over thoroughly before they get going. until you are literally straining at the least these guys car way to get stuff. this is thing is sleepy and. once they've been given the go ahead it was over to i'm told of the starting line to put them on the stall to. see how barbara and her team hit leading the way for the international races and you can see some of the dogs wearing the latest and stylish fashion and. fifty kilometers to go. think. the dogs have.

teams race at intervals through a forest track and i headed out to join chief referee terry at the halfway point ask her if she's ok if you think. everything's ok he invent caroling check the dogs over to make sure they're still in fine fettle and that no rules have been broken there to do a little inspection only very shyly. you know it's ok. terry is that cia so people tend to do what he says. thank you once all the teams were through it was a race back to the finish line to see the dogs in and it was a homegrown russian team who picks up the onus. of the mushers headed off to celebrate and it was time for me to make my way into coaster ma but you can't exactly fly down a taxi and these power. that

i cared for care. of us were travel. history dates back almost nine hundred years and when you take a walk through the city center it's easy to see why this is a major attraction for travelers. but the marches be an ulterior motive the future of the hof suggests a romantic weekend here. this is russia's jewelry capital producing around twenty five percent of the country's goals and they turn out sparkle as in the thousands. one of the region's biggest factories employs nearly eight hundred people and i've been invited to see how a ring makes it from the drawing board to the display case. one of the workers have a design it's called. and then that's used to make a three d. wax model. so squeezy very hauled. into this.

and says enough. time waits for the magic to happen. so that the benefit is off to the mental cost to. be seen and go see but when you're dealing with hundreds of rings at a time you need to find a way to speed up the process each model is attached to a miniature christmas tree which is covered with plaster and then it's time to start adding the body you know with the. castings of the flask is placed here. and a few hours later you go to stocking filler fit for a million that the original you there was waxing near but notes gold in dead one has learned to still work. with heavy snow just have to cut these items from the fir tree into release them into production a miring just needed to have it stone fitted to make someone very special. ok

so maybe it's not quite my style but you don't have to be rich to pick up an authentic cost from a souvenir. the region is also the center of russia's linen industry they've been spinning and refining it here for centuries and the local textile museum is home to a group of ladies who still make clothing the old fashion way. new bovis the museum director and the lady who knows her linen but getting the flax to the loom is a drawn out process and usually it's picked by hand from the fields before being crushed in a wooden growing to release threads. this was a stool now it's a bunch of thread once the threads have broken down that comb through with the rioting of implements including a brush which looked like it would be more at home in a torture chamber rather than a house be careful with that when. deadly weapon once it's fun enough to try to

spool into a launch spin up although you definitely need nimble fingers than mine to do this properly yet and just keep doing it since heart of the looks apparently. used to give the. spinning wheel to a six year old girl so i'm a little bit late so much can do you think i'm doing everything right but it wasn't all work and no play apparently the spinning was really an excuse for a good gossip i would not only between twelve and fifteen girls at the time were excited by side their tongues were in few and with this being well as they spawn aren't they only tales same songs and the boys to pieces the trends of died with fruit and vegetable juices and then they're ready for the loom it was common for the women to work fourteen hours a day preparing new clothes and there is a bit of an act to it. and here you go. you want to believe it when you look at it but actually this using the to do fun is far easier than spilling the thread.

the same i get stuck. on after all that effort the family have a wardrobe to be proud of the ladies would make every day clothes and clothes and special occasions apparently a beautiful set like this would take about a week solid labor of course really i need some trousers to go with it but i think i threw my hands it's going to take me about six months so i'm going to leave the girls to do what they do best. with more than five hundred dotted around the town you could spend days checking out all of costermongers historic and cultural monuments but there's one figure in the city whose statue and reputation stand head and shoulders above the others. he was called a son and his name has become a russian by word for patriotism and bravery and there are always people ready to tell his story. back in the early seventeenth century of the russian nobility had

just elected the first romanov zam a high heel to take the vacant crown the young prince was living in cost ramana and he needed to travel to moscow to be crowned. there were several other people who wanted the throne for themselves and the king of poland mercenaries to come and find. and kill him that they hadn't reckoned with. if once a saw him was a local peasant living in the region and when the polish troops approached he offered to take them into the woods and to me. but he had a surprise in store sauna and led the poles deep into the forest they were supposed to spend almost a day walking through the trees and heading towards the swamps. of didn't seem to be getting any closer than the polls were starting to get angry. as the story goes through sonnen refused to continue telling the poles he would never betray his prints and there was only ever going to have one outcome.

so. you can see what happened to poor yvonne but the poles by now were so hopelessly lost that they never made it out of the forest we heil was crowned and events to sign him wrote himself into the legend of the russian. fortunately our van was able to make a miraculous recovery but maybe the poles have been going about it in the wrong way . this is the sun and telephoned me how romanov. if you go right across the swamp and the clearings in that direction you'll find me feel romana there we have to do is ask nicely and it turns out rushes first romanov's was back within the city limits. see i knew that society was really a trustworthy fellow as the poles really are going to define it how roman of this is where they should have been looking. this is the apache of mona stream

probably the most famous building in cost it's hardly changed in almost seven hundred years and the high heels house is the main attraction. and they have a rather bryce a paint job now but this was the house where the young lived with his mother and every roman of since i came here to pay homage to the place where the dentist began . to son in that come good and i was all set for a date with another local cause from our celebrity. welcome to the. big splash in the world of high tech business. and science into products. we followed rushing innovators to broaden their big breakthrough. spotlight on story on technology

update. we. covered. download the official antti application to your i phone or i pod touch from the i choose apps to. watch our teenage life on the go. video on demand on teens and live broadcasts and already has feeds now in the palm of your. question on the t.v. dot com. but in the nineteenth century it was home to the famous russian playwright alexander ostrosky and he's responsible for popularizing the legend of one of the country's most famous folk characters in the west santa claus maybe more of

a solo artist but his russian counterpart for the frost is almost never seen without smoke gorged this moment ostrosky wrote his fairy tale while living in the city and unsurprisingly the town has a real soft spot for their icy places this guy is serious he's at home to support your ladies you can see. when cigarettes career is having a break from father frost she lives here in her own house she's one of the city's most popular attractions and shows her visitors the much a side of life see. several hopeless including a particularly entertaining them very well spoken cat and when the last children have gone home she was kind enough to offer me a private school. as you might expect for a snow maiden she has an entire room dedicated to christmas trees all made by children from local schools but also with the early morning still answer emails

from around the world and as the star of her own fairy tale she's surrounded by other characters from slavic mythology right now is. forefathers believed that each of us has a guardian angel while at the end these are the helpers ancients lobby gods for example throttle is the god of labor helps us to work he has bestowed various crafts on us. is the patron saint of. the market. then one side whispered a few words of thanks to a particularly big gold said she was taking me to a favorite room in the house i should have expected this really. is. going to relax days' work. because most of the ice cream cocktail. there may not be many reindeer to pull cynical it's because sleigh when she's out and about. but deep in the local woods

there are certainly some animals who'd be up to the tosca. this is. a forty year old project that was originally designed to try and domesticate these huge animals but since the collapse of the soviet union it's been used as a breeding sensor. there are thirty seven moose and they each have a thousand hectares of land to explore in fact the only fence areas to prevent them wandering out onto the roads there are ten full time staff that look after the animals and when you've got appetites like these to take care of you can always use another pair of hands. but also the you take the axe. go ahead. it seems only fair. see. and keep here with.

trying to repair a bit of the moose is favorite food and this. aspen book. is absolutely most favorite treat their own hunger i doubt if that's an indictment of my cats igs they'd rather the stuff that's on the floor. oh ok. i'll put it there for dessert. enjoy. the herd will stay here for the whole winter before moving off when the weather heats up but for now they're very happy to lounge around and enjoy the easy pickings and explore the old stranger who comes into their midst have zero interest in smell. that you think. you.

ok so that won't go into the with. what i've managed to turn myself away from my new admirer i headed to a nearby town to take in a rather special ceremony. this is a region that's filled with churches and still has a highly religious population and every easter the people make a unique product more on the thursday salt. hundreds of years ago there used to be mines here but back then only the very rich could afford to buy it. even though seeing the list used to be worth its weight in gold a sack of thought could even buy a house dome. became more affordable it was offered to the churches in the east to gift. branches and the russian soft drink together and added to the salt

but then goes into the oven and once the mixture has toasted it's all saved. the day you hear the grain it turns into ashes that's how you get thirst is black salts let's. leave it there for a few hours officially ready. and. it's taken to the church to be part of easter celebrations. now we're going to place the salt in here. this is really just the start. once it's been blessed by the priest every member of the. a little. supposed to cure ills and protect the family for the whole of the. it turned out to be a busy few days and cost from zero but i was determined to fit in a little all in all before heading back to moscow. and if you're

a man in this city there's one place everyone goes to get away from it all. sight seeing i thought it was definitely tell him to come kick back and spend a relaxing off noodle belike but this is the middle of the russian winter so i do need to make a few slight adjustments. over there you go and fish and not. your ok except for the way that your dress ok fine any different clothes but that's all right we have everything you need. khalid's coal fisherman the right foot wear . a jacket. right and most importantly i had to keep your head more of a right so i think i was ready. you gave me and his friends come fishing here almost every week and with temperatures well below freezing it pays to wrap up warm

. right this is much more suitable i think you're going to really go ok and now that you've got the right elbow hit send me to everything for fishing the box with the rods of the roads in here. and a drill to make a hole in the ice very important and then we were ready to head out onto the ice apparently there were some spots the better than others for fish out here if you can find. i didn't like. you to find some way to get the word so. it's not easy when you're dealing with my space but all true good work out with the drew i did eventually. almost. seventy cents race is the danger of falling through so we had a whole we had a delicious plate now surely be the endless hours of waiting. a

. day that is crazy. you wouldn't believe but i swear to god i've been fishing so many never actually managed to get that quickly. but it's not easy. i do you can it feeds too many people. for small dinner appetizer but little did i know this was just the beginning this is absolutely crazy. you're just another. second in about thirty seconds.

james of the james has all the makings of a skilled fisherman the fish can't get away. new baits to treat. and i thought i was just here to kill some time and relax you never actually going to catch fish with this. group. with. my own devices and this really seems to be the point of spending time out here you're alone with your thoughts in one of the most beautiful places in the region and the daily grind seems like a million miles away. could really get you through this peaceful tranquil place. with good thoughts even if you don't. but that doesn't mean you don't get colds. he had come prepared. and then.

just a symbolic drop bad surprise. it will keep us warmer as well. it's just medicinal obviously. this is definitely a very good idea to irish up. a months we've bagged up a few more fish it was time to head back to shore and get cooking. on the ice. and some freshly made.

russians golden ring cities of some of the most beautiful and historic in the country this is russia as it used to be filled with churches ancient architecture and the gentle pace of life and one of the jewels in the crown is. just a four hour drive from moscow to its original campus all the time to just over a quarter of a million people and then on the banks of the great fold the river. is the perfect place for a little russian escapism the city is reminiscent of a bygone era with enough history and tradition for a cultural tour on the wide open spaces for those looking to just leave it all behind.
