Atlantic Edge

Adam and the Auk visit the Shiants, an island group of 550 acres in the Outer Hebridies, that Adam owns. Adam intends to conduct an experiment. He means to eat only what he can obtain from the land and the sea.

The first leg of the journey begins at Falmouth and carries on to the Scilly Isles, travelling around the South West corner of England.

Leg three of the journey takes us across to the South West coast of Ireland. Adam is interested to see how the isolated communities who inspired a wave of early 20th century writers and poets are surviving.

The Auk is in the South West region of Ireland, and Adam is in search of spirituality. The Irish are famed for the strength of their faith, but what Adam wants to find out why it was here in the far south corner of Ireland that Christianity first flourished.

On the second stage of their journey our intrepid travellers visit the Pembrokeshire coast of South Wales. A dramatic rescue of the runabout left members of the team with their hearts in their mouths.
