Charlie Connelly's quest takes in 'the St Tropez of the North' and 'the most boring place in the world.' Read by Tom Goodman-Hill.

The shipping forecast on 成人快手 Radio 4 is as familiar as the sound of Big Ben chiming the hour.

Yet recognisable though the sea areas are by name, few people give much thought to where they are or what they contain.

Charlie Connelly has set off on a journey into the forecast to find out.

"I cursed the arbitrary nature of the shipping forecast map for forcing me to spend a weekend of my life here."

Charlie's quest takes in 'the St Tropez of the North' and 'the most boring place in the world.'

Written by Charlie Connelly and abridged by Beatrice Colin

Read by Tom Goodman-Hill.

Producer: Gaynor MacFarlane
