Chlamydia is a potentially damaging sexually transmitted disease, affecting hundreds of thousands of people - both men and women - in Britain. If untreated, it can cause acute pain and damage the fallopian tubes irreparably, leaving women infertile. Yet it can be easily and cheaply treated with antibiotics once the infection is diagnosed. Alison Holt reports on the lack of awareness of this condition and asks why there has been no national research into the size of a problem that was identified in the mid-seventies.

In the last of the series of the countryside guide, David Stafford looks at weather forecasting with meteorologist Paul Marriott and discovers that many of the approximately 2,500 folk sayings about the weather are scientifically accurate. Geologist Richard Fortey explores the granite tors of Bodmin; Lindsay Cannon reports on what appear to be small islands in the middle of Celtic lakes but are really man-made fortresses; Ray Mears goes beachcombing in Cornwall for ingredients to make a seaweed salad; and the Tracks guide to trees comes to an end with the oak.
