Walking Hadrian's Wall with Robson Green

Robson travels from Chollerford to Walltown Crags, and learns more about how the Romans lived, from sampling natural cuisine and checking out the spa at Chesters Fort; to paying a visit to the latrines of Housesteads Fort, once the envy of an empire. He then pits his fishing abilities against an angling rival, gladiator-style, before climbing Steel Rigg to reach the route's highest summit.
