Did you miss the crossing time?

No, we stopped there.

By choice.

We did all sorts, yeah.

I went, I think I was on a school trip there as well.

I remember being ages in a bus.

No, I mean, not all day, but probably like five, six hours we were there.

And, like, we went as soon as we could cross and then we...

Came back at the last minute, yeah.

And nobody stops you driving in, even if the tide's coming in.

No, literally.

They have all these pictures of cars that if you get stuck,

they'll put your picture up on the board, I think, at the car park.

Yeah.

Cars getting swept away by the sea.

We've got a picture, actually, of David's Mini and it's got, like...

Cos it's just literally the road.

Yeah.

Don't warn you or anything.

No, you just send them.

And then it's sea.

And then we've got David's car just, like, parked in the sea.

Like, do you know...

Cos if you've got a 4x4, like a Range Rover, you can go

even if the sea started to come across it.

Mm.

But it comes so fast.

It's strange, it's not a bridge, it's a road.

But it goes up and down the sea.

Oh.

So half the day you can cross, but every six hours it's in and out.

Exactly.

Holy Island.

It's an island, but it's an island part of the time.

Yeah, this is it.

Look, this is where...

Cos we stopped at the end of the road.

And there's, like, a...

They've got, like, a tower in the middle for people who made the mistake.

So, literally...

So they can survive.

It's there.

It comes right up to here.

This is the way we were.

So you're just driving along.

And then if season, you've just got to turn back round.

But, yeah, then it goes across.

But if you...

If you want, you can go.

If you...

So the sea's coming...

The sea comes in.

And it's in.

You could drive it, even if it's that deep in a Range Rover.

But people try it.

There's videos on YouTube.

Yeah.

Like, it comes to here, and they've got a big, massive car.

And they think, OK, I'll drive, cos it's on the anchor line.

But it only takes two minutes to drive across.

But when they get to the other side, the car just floats away.

Yeah, look, that's the tower.

So you can save yourself.

Yeah.

And there's a phone inside too.

Mm.

Like, to there.

Very high.

Because it's not a lake or a small sea.

It's North Sea.

You know, like Mediterranean.

It comes up and down this much.

But that sea is...

It's more than those boats, if you get stuck or something.

Yeah, there's a timetable.

But there's no, like, traffic lights or anything.

You just have to...

Yes, yeah.

But that sea, it's dangerous.

Yeah.

That's dope.

And I'm not in the AA, even though he's got probably four memberships.

And what happened?

To the AA.

And what happened when you're stuck in there?

You won't get stuck, cos the sea would take the car away.

They find it in Denmark or somewhere.

I don't know.

No, it is dangerous.

Cos my mum grew up on that coast.

The school was next to the sea.

And there was a girl who drowned.

Yeah.

Even we'd been at the beach when I was a kid,

and there was some children playing.

And my grandmother saved them,

kind of taught the parents to get them,

because I remember people who lived there know

the beach is massive.

Like, from here to the post office, it's massive.

But in 15 minutes, it gets the size of this room.

Yeah.

And the beach isn't flat.

It's got lumps and bumps, so you could be on it

and not realise you get surrounded in a matter of minutes.

Yeah.

Like on Chilli Bang Bang.

You know, there's a blink and then you're surrounded.

And then it covers that, and the currents are strong.

Yeah, they are.

A lot of people have drowned from making a mistake on that coast.

Even a good swimmer can't survive,

cos it swells round and pulls them.

Somebody drowned at Widdensee, didn't he?

Where?

One of the castles.

I don't think I'd appreciate it.

It's...

It's 60 miles from a normal town, isn't it?

It is quite far, yeah.

They don't have Amazon, probably.

Yeah, they're all round here.

But it's important and famous, cos isn't it Holy Island,

the first Vikings landed on Holy Island, I think?

I think so, yeah.

And they slaughtered the priests in the...

Cos it's a monastery.

There are monks still on it, isn't it?

Like, an active monastery.

But...

Monks live on it.

Monks live on it.

And, er...

That one in Lodi...

Where did we go now?

Wales.

There were actual monks living there.

No, I think there are several monasteries on that coast.

And there are other...

Yeah, probably.

And they're all named after the same...
