Description: Before venturing out onto the water to continue our 1700 mile journey around the coastline of UK there's a bit of engine servicing to be done... and it doesn't go entirely to plan. After fully servicing the old Honda outboard I manage to set the thing on fire, lessons were learned. I'm attempting to take my tiny rigid inflatable boat all the way around the UK, it's going to be trickier than I originally thought. All the action in this episode takes place in Devon. We service the 30hp Honda outboard as well as the 3.3hp Mariner two stroke backup engine. I also visit Kit's house on Dartmoor where he is restoring an old Devon Longhouse. I manage to get out to see some sights and visit Grimspound, an old Ironage village right in the middle of the wilds of Dartmoor. Delightful piano accompaniment by composer Angus MacRae who has written an entire score inspired by the original theme tune: youtube.com/c/AngusMacRae​ You can listen to the score on Soundcloud: soundcloud.com/harry-dwyer-266219730/sets/the-goodwin-variations Main theme re-arranging and recorded by the synth wizard Woody: youtu.be/9FmL6Tj8yVw
