Coastal Delights

Derek hits the Welsh coast, where he tries sand-sledging and horse-riding.

Derek takes a trip down memory lane as he remembers three of his best Welsh coastal walks.

He kicks off with a walk along one of Wales鈥檚 most popular coastlines from Harlech to Barmouth, where he dons his birthday suit on a nudist beach, gets drenched on a DIY raft, learns about the 鈥楧evil in the shawl鈥� in Salem, and visits an island campsite cut off by the tide in a jaw-dropping location.

For his second hike, Derek is in the Vale of Glamorgan, where he takes part in a lifeboat challenge, sledges down one of the highest sand dunes in Europe, and gets in the saddle for a horse ride across the beach in Ogmore.

For Derek鈥檚 final flashback, he ends up on Pendine Sands in Carmarthenshire, famous for land-speed records. There, he is serenaded by the Tenby Male Voice Choir.
