Reuben: Life in the Dales

Reuben sets about renovating a 200-year-old tumble-down cottage to sell on. With a gap in digging work, he and work mate Sonny set about clearing out the old property. During the excavations they discover an old well which little brother Sidney helps them investigate. Reuben also helps new girlfriend Jess round up her flock at her family farm.

Reuben and Jess salvage stone from a quarry using huge machinery. With winter ending, they're eager to turn rubble into cash, but first must fix a stubborn loading shovel. Tommy enlists the team - and a helicopter - to help repair a 3km stretch of the coast-to-coast trail high in the Yorkshire Dales. Back at the farm, the Owen family recall Miles' emergency helicopter rescue and reunite with the medics who saved his life. Reuben helps Jess herd some very determined sheep.

Reuben and his friends attempt a vintage tractor journey - from the heart of the Yorkshire Dales to the Whitby coast. Having loved restoring vintage tractors since he was a child, this trip will mark Reuben's 21st birthday and test the whole team's mechanical skills. Girlfriend Jess has organised balloons and a cake, which are transported under the engine of Tommy's tractor.

Spring arrives in the Dales and the season brings a flurry of activity. The first job to tackle is Reuben's huge order of cropped stones. As he and the team must hand finish a hundred tons in the disused quarry, the crew visit a family run stone merchants in search of tips and learn from the professionals. Girlfriend Jess faces her busiest time of year as lambing season erupts on her family's farm.
