Probably for those of us over a certain age .
Remember listening to the shipping forecast morning and evening?
Everyone thought about where the various areas are ? Some areas only known by regular seafarers who use charts .
The series is presented by the Reverend Richard Coles . A gentle amble around our coastal areas in various boats and ships.

I saw on the EPG it was starting in Lundy. I flicked it for a couple of minutes and he was helping clean up the beach in Barry. Seems a loose envelope for the programme, really.

It did seem to flick back and forth .
Lundy was interesting for me as I wasn't sure where it was and what it was .

I watched it last year when it was first shown on More4. Found it a nice relaxing show with Richard travelling around various parts of the UK, meeting locals, etc.

It's a bit "wallpaper TV" but a pleasant enough diversion.
