Coast

A journey around Britain to experience our surrounding seas' tidal ebb and flow at their most extreme. Nick Crane confronts the terrifying power of the tides head-on as he paddles for dear life in a kayak to conquer the fearsome, tidal rapids that swirl off the island of Anglesey. Then in Liverpool, he discovers a remarkable but forgotten machine used to predict the tides for the D-Day landings.
