Robson plays host to his Grantchester co-star Tom Brittney on a road trip around County Durham. Their mission to find peace and relaxation in the countryside finds the duo Dragon Boat racing on the river Wear before heading to a forest camp where they spend the night.
In the hands of expert forager Andy, the actors find food for dinner in the wild plants of the woodland before a campfire sing song and a night in a self-erected hammock. Their pursuit of outdoor activities to help refresh the mind and body sees Robson and Tom step back in time as they step aboard a preserved steam train on the oldest railway in the world at Tanfield.
