Episode 3

Dan and Helen are on the penultimate leg of their Pennine adventure and this week takes them across God's Own Country: The Yorkshire Dales.

Starting off in the stunning karst landscape of Beck, Dan and Helen face their biggest challenge yet with a huge 100m abseil into Alum Pot, one of the Dale's deepest caves. After their jaw-dropping descent, Dan and Helen cool off at the nearby stunning waterfalls of Cotter Force.

Next they enter Cheese Country: Wensleydale, where Dan heads off to investigate (and munch on) one of Yorkshire's culinary heroes, The Yorkshire Curd tart. Meanwhile, Helen meets Britain's only female traditional ropemaker, who teaches her how to make a skipping rope as well as the importance of the craft. Later, the friends reunite for a picnic at Helen's childhood picnic spot: Pendragon castle.

Our intrepid duo next seek to uncover the artistry that the Pennines have to offer, being a former stomping ground of JMW Turner and David Hockney. They meet artist Andrea Hunter, who teaches them how to turn wool into a piece of art.

Afterwards, travelling across the epic Buttertubs Pass, which was a former packhorse route up until the 18th century, Helen shares her childhood love of horses with Dan, who at first is not quite as enthusiastic about our four-legged friends... Helen hopes to change his mind with a lesson at Brookleigh riding Centre.

As dark clouds roll in, the pair drive across the moody landscapes of the Swaledale Valleys to their final stop of the day, The Tan Hill Inn – famously recognised as Britain's highest pub. There, they meet owner Andrew Hields to discuss the challenges of his elevated post. To round it off, they look towards the last leg of their Pennines journey and celebrate their adventure so far with the famous Tan Hill banquet, including "head-sized" Yorkshire puds!
