Tony Robinson is now 60 miles into his trek, and he’s leaving the Lake District behind.

His starting point is the dramatic Great Asby Scar, with its otherworldly landscape of cracked limestone.

At Ravenstonedale, our genial guide visits Cumbria Classic Coaches, whose vintage buses transport tourists and locals alike.

He also visits a dairy farm that uses high-end technology (and is thrilled to meet a newborn calf that obligingly arrives while Tony is in town), has a go at training a sheepdog and joins a mountain rescue team on a training exercise near Kirkby Stephen.

He's having such a great time it's hard not to get swept up in it!
