Michael heads to Wharncliffe Crags, where he follows in the terrifying footholds of the Victorian daredevil who made rock climbing a sport. The relative calm of academia beckons at Sheffield University but, face to face with a hagfish, his visit to the Alfred Denny Collection proves an eye-opener. Then Michael visits the castle which inspired Sir Walter Scott's immensely popular novel, Ivanhoe.
