Beschreibung
Thousands of people in Britain surf, few of them have surfed all the way round. Around the Coast in Eighty Waves is Jonathan Bennett's story of doing just that.

Living in an old, unheated T25 campervan for fourteen months, including the coldest winter for thirty years, he travelled clockwise round Britain, surfing every beach he could catch a wave. From the Isle of Harris to the Lizard Peninsula, from Orkney to Anglesey, from Sandwood Bay to Sussex, he shared the waves with seals, sewage and fellow surfers, meeting friendly and not-so-friendly locals, often alone and miles from civilisation. Without going near a campsite, he slept with the sound of the waves whispering in his ears.
