Countryfile

Northumberland (31x36)

Uitzenddatum: Sep 08, 2019

This week the team are in Northumberland, where Helen Skelton visits the Blyth Tall Ship scheme, where students from disadvantaged areas work with retired engineers and craftsmen to learn traditional boat building and shipwright skills. Joe Crowley meets a man on a mission - a slightly bonkers mission. Paul Farley is not only an award-winning writer, he’s also attempting to map Britain - in poetry. Places of Poetry is a community arts project where members of the public are invited to write poems and 'pin' them on a digital map of the locations that inspired them. The aim is to celebrate the diversity, history and character of the places around us. Adam meets the next of our contestants hoping to lift the trophy in this years One Man and His Dog competition, Matt has all the information on how you can take part in this year’s Countryfile ramble for BBC Children in Need, and Tom investigates the safety risks posed by the UK’s hidden reservoirs.
