Eskdale is the final destination in Paul Rose's trek through the Lake District. He has the summit of Scafell Pike, England's highest mountain, in his sights.

Remote Eskdale is the final destination in explorer Paul Rose's trek through the Lake District. This corner of the western Lakes is off the normal tourist track, but it boasts England's highest mountain. Before heading for the tough Lakeland summit of Scafell Pike, Paul meets the folk who run one of the country's most scenic railways, he has a close encounter with a vulture and gets to grips with the locals in a spot of Cumberland wrestling.
