To mark the centenary of broadcasting of the Shipping Forecast, members of the Radio 4 Continuity team, the voices of the on-air forecast, leave the Radio 4 studio behind and travel the UK visiting some of the iconic areas we only know by their official descriptions on the daily forecast. Dogger, Irish Sea, Wight, Lundy and Forth. They meet the residents, sailors, fishermen, radio lovers and many others who live and work on the coastal areas – and who have a connection to the Shipping Forecast.

Episode 4 - Lundy

Charles Carroll visits the sea area of Lundy. He heads out with a lifeboat crew, meets an artist inspired by waves, and discovers why it’s important to listen to the shipping forecast if you are getting married at St David’s Cathedral.
