Next, they travel to the banks of the River Breamish to enjoy the peace and quiet and take a watercolour class with a local artist. After quieting the mind with their creative pursuits, it’s time to move the body, and Robson surprises a group of local line dancers with his celebrity guest. After saying goodbye to Faye, Robson makes his way to his overnight accommodation near the village of Branton. On the final day of his escape, Robson joins local walking guide Dave Harris-Jones for a short hike through the Breamish valley.
