Here's
a quick heads up for you - there's a new TV series starting tonight
called 'Coast'. Presented by Nicolas Crane, it's a journey around
Britain's coastline.
The 13-part series starts at 9 pm on BBC2 tonight,
Friday 22 July, with the first leg of the 11,700-mile journey
covering the south coast from Dover round to Exmouth, so set your
timer.
Just as interesting is the series web
site which rather neatly both previews the next part of the
series every week, but also contains details of a selection of
coastal walks from right round the UK complete with detailed
instructions, a lot of excellent background information and a stage
by stage collection of excellent pictures from the walk for some of
the walks.
No-one's pretending that they're epic LDP extravanganzas, mostly
they're short and cultural, but it's a lovely idea and an easy to use
taster to some of our amazing coastal walking that's often overlooked
in favour of the mountains.
Looks like being an epic series :-)
