In this sixth episode, Robson is travelling along the route of the mighty Tyne - a river steeped in history and tradition. His journey starts close to the border with Scotland at Kielder Water and Forest Park, where he has a messy encounter with some rare osprey chicks and learns about the plight of the river's salmon. Robson visits Cherryburn, former home of one of Britain's greatest wildlife illustrators, Thomas Bewick. Finally, Robson joins the Tyne Rowing Club and learns the story of the great North-East rower Harry Clasper.
