BBC Two - Robson Green's Weekend Escapes, Series 1, Episode 10

Robson and his uncle Matheson are in Hexham to explore things to do in the outdoors.

Robson is joined by his uncle Matheson to test a night in a local youth hostel. They sign up for a cookery class, take a guided walk on Hadrian's Wall and visit remote honey beehives.

Robson’s quest to find ways to spend more time in the outdoors sees him join forces with his uncle Matheson. The pair set off to explore the Northumberland countryside on their doorstep which  includes a night in a youth hostel. Armed with produce from his own garden to cook in a communal kitchen, the pair head for Hexham.

After signing up for a bread making class in a rural cookery school, Robson and Matheson come away with their very own Stottie cakes. A night in bunk beds at the Sill youth hostel is a first for both of them. With Hadrian's Wall on their doorstep, the pair join a national park guided walk along the Roman remains. 

Leaving the wall behind, they head west to the heather-clad moorlands of Allendale. Local honey makers take uncle and nephew to their beehives to learn more about the making of heather honey.
