Description

Tim and Shane Spall complete their intrepid journey around the British Isles as they head south for the first time, first tackling Rattray Head in Aberdeenshire in the face of a huge storm. They progress across the North Sea to Newcastle, Hartlepool and on to Whitby in North Yorkshire. Even near London it was perilous as Tim hadn’t realised how confusing the Thames can be at night.
