Robson Green's Weekend Escapes

Former Newcastle United footballer Les Ferdinand shares his insights into switching off as he and Robson journey along the Northumberland coast. For Robson, it’s an emotional trip in more ways than one. The actor and the footballer share memories and laughs while taking in the sights of Craster and Beadnell Bay. Later, they take to the North Sea in wetsuits as they challenge themselves and each other to stand up on a paddle board long enough to take in the stunning views.

Robson spends time with old friend and actor Kevin Whately. They reminisce about their times growing up in north east England before heading to Alnmouth beach to try their hands at making pictures in the sand at low tide. The pair take to the water when a boat comes in to join a team of sea-going rowers and try their hand at the border pipes. Later, Robson spends the night in a cabin on a farm at Tughall before attempting the art of willow weaving.
