1700miles in a Tiny Speedboat - Part 10

It's a very long way to go in a very small boat. With our camping gear, petrol tanks and meat-based snacks we again head out to sea.

We're circumnavigating the UK and have covered over 1000 miles so far on our wiggly route. In this episode we cross the Bristol channel and journey into Wales to see the birthplace of the rigid hull inflatable boat, Atlantic College, a school based in the 12th century St Donat's castle.

We meet Robin Jenkins and learn about the invention of the rib and their latest lifesaving project, Atlantic Pacific:

From the Vale of Glamorgan we travel west to Porthcawl, Tenby and finally into the safety of Milford Haven.

Our boat, 'Goodwin', is an Avon Searider from 1977 and only four meters long, you can see the restoration process here:
