Tom Fort’s maritime travels explore hunting at Slapton Ley, tumultuous sea wrecks and pilchards. Read by Jonathan Coy.

At Slapton Ley there are musings on Pallas sand grouse, ship-wrecks, and 'Cornish sardines' - whose numbers turned the water black from Lands' End to Bigbury bay.

Tom Fort's maritime journey takes us from the White Cliffs to Lands' End. About 675 miles in all.
