to doughtiest out here for this. I am more got it for me because he | :00:24. | :00:32. | |
was so excited. I am more got it for him. -- got it. Good evening | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
and welcome to Spotlight. More from Wootton Bassett in a moment. Also | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
tonight: A �6 million rehabilitation unit to help our | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
injured servicemen. The facility at Norton Manor Camp is due to open | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
next year. And anger and sadness after much-loved beach huts are | :00:43. | :00:52. | |
destroyed by fire. The parents of a Royal Marine killed in Afghanistan | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
have spoken of their pride and loss as his body was flown home to the | :00:56. | :01:02. | |
UK today. 22 year-old James Wright from Dorset died after a grenade | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
attack on a checkpoint in Helmand Province. Hundreds lined the | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
streets of Wootton Bassett this afternoon for what could be one of | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
the last repatriation ceremonies in the town. Our defence reporter, | :01:11. | :01:21. | |
:01:21. | :01:23. | ||
Scott Bingham, was there. As the bell of St Bartholomew told, the | :01:23. | :01:33. | |
:01:33. | :01:36. | ||
town of Wootton Bassett fell silent once more. Another British | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
serviceman killed in Afghanistan, returned home for the final time. | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
22 year-old Marine James Wright from Weymouth was serving with | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
Plymouth-based 42 Commando Royal Marines when he was wounded in a | :01:49. | :01:56. | |
grenade attack on a cheque. In Helmand Province. His family say he | :01:56. | :02:03. | |
died doing the job he loved. It was his proudest moment, he was so | :02:03. | :02:12. | |
proud of warning that Green beret. Unfortunately, going to Afghanistan | :02:12. | :02:18. | |
was the only way he could prove what he wanted to be. Words cannot | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
express how proud I am. Tragically, James also leaves a long-term | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
girlfriend, pregnant with their first child. I am just sad that he | :02:29. | :02:35. | |
isn't here. More for him than me because he was so excited. This | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
small but Shere Khan has seen far too many of these repatriations but | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
this will be one of the last. Next month the flats were transferred to | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
RAF Brize Norton and Wootton Bassett will no longer be on the | :02:48. | :02:55. | |
route. We always hope that the last repatriation will be the last one. | :02:55. | :03:01. | |
They know it will not be, in our hearts, but we always hope for that. | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
They would have liked to have been were the last repatriation came | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
through. But the powers that be decided to go back to Brize Norton. | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
We wish them on the very best in what they will do. The former mayor, | :03:17. | :03:27. | |
:03:27. | :03:27. | ||
Percy miles, organised the first tribute here back in 2007. I saw | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
the first coffin through. What was nice was we had a letter from the | :03:32. | :03:37. | |
deceased's wife, some time after, to say that she was going to keep a | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
copy of the letter that we sent and show it to her children when they | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
were old enough. Since then, the town and the people who lie in the | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
High Street have become a symbol of public support for our troops and a | :03:51. | :03:57. | |
comfort to many other families. would have meant so much to him. As | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
much as I don't want it to happen again, if you have to do it, it do | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
it properly. This is a good way to do it. The repatriation of Royal | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
Marine James Wright, who was serving with 42 Commando. Well, | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
Taunton-based 40 Commando lost 14 Royal Marines in their last | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
deployment to Afghanistan but they're also having to cope with a | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
rise in the number of injured personnel returning. Now �6 million | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
is being spent on purpose-built training and rehabilitation | :04:27. | :04:32. | |
facilities at Norton Manor Camp. The new building, which is due to | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
open in March next year, will have a specialist centre for | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
recuperation as well as a gym for all personnel to use. Here's our | :04:39. | :04:49. | |
Somerset reporter, Clinton Rogers. Set up... The wounds of war are | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
healing for look net cash. Injured in an explosion in Afghanistan, he | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
underwent many months of painful surgery and rehabilitation. To | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
begin with, he had to learn to walk all over again. From walking around | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
the bed to walking from bed to bed and slowly walking up the corridor | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
at night like a little old lady in my dress. Has he started to regain | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
fitness, this Royal Marine continued his recovery at the home | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
of 40 Commando in Taunton and when he is on his own, this Jim is big | :05:23. | :05:30. | |
enough. The problem is, the conflict has stretched the medics | :05:30. | :05:38. | |
and the fitness trainers as much as the frontline troops. 40 Commando | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
lost 14 men on their last tour. But many more came back injured and in | :05:44. | :05:48. | |
need of intensive support on the long road back to fitness. We are | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
up to 30 strong in the trip at the minute. But that can go up once the | :05:54. | :06:04. | |
:06:04. | :06:05. | ||
unit are away on operations, up to 50. One of the reasons why 40 | :06:05. | :06:12. | |
Commando is being given an EGM and rehabilitation centre at a cost of | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
nearly �6 million, work is already underway. They Brechin that this | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
work should be completed by the middle of next year and the | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
rehabilitation unit will alone be four times bigger than the existing | :06:23. | :06:28. | |
one, reflecting not only today's need but the need they know they | :06:28. | :06:34. | |
will need to satisfy four years to come. When the new centre is | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
finished, look is in the running to work there. He has recovered so | :06:38. | :06:48. | |
well, he is working to become a physical training instructor. | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
Health bosses in Plymouth are denying claims that a unit for | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
stroke patients is being scrapped. They say the rehabillitation | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
service at Mount Gould is being reorganised to improve facilities | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
and provide more support for people in their own homes. Clare Casson | :06:58. | :07:06. | |
reports. Brian Ward suffered a stroke 12 weeks ago and has doubt | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
being treated at the rehabilitation unit with a team of specialists on | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
hand to help. His mobility and speech will take some time to | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
recover but he has nothing but praise for the care he has received. | :07:18. | :07:27. | |
Fantastic. Really, yes. There is room for 19 patients at the end it | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
with plans for a major reorganisation. Managers at NHS | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
Plymouth so for some time there have been empty beds here and the | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
facilities are outdated and they want to move the services across | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
the road to the larger in-patient unit. It's a much more modern | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
building with private facilities for patients. But the number of | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
beds would be cut by around a quarter. Spotlight has been | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
contacted by some staff anonymously who are concerned it is simply a | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
way of closing down the stroke unit. Bosses insist that isn't the case. | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
The unit isn't closing, we are moving the bends from one unit to | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
another and we will have dedicated staff to carry on the excellent | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
work that they took in the current facilities. The money that we saved | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
from those five beds will be invested in community services to | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
ensure that people can go home earlier and also receive a high | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
quality of care in their own home. A consultation with unions over the | :08:23. | :08:29. | |
plans runs until September. A wealthy undergraduate from the | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
University of Exeter has been charged with stealing from shops | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
during the riots in London. 19 year-old Laura Johnson appeared | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
before magistrates in Bexley on five counts of burglary. Miss | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
Johnson is reported to be the daughter of a millionaire | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
businessman from South East London. She's been released on bail. The | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
University of Exeter says it will await the outcome of the court case | :08:47. | :08:56. | |
before deciding whether to take any action. About stubble factory which | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
was facing closure could now be kept open, securing 90 jobs. | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
Executives from the new owners have been on site at leader flush Chapel | :09:04. | :09:12. | |
End today talking to managers about the future. �1 million is being | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
spent at North Devon Hospital to bring patients with similar | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
illnesses closer together. The new ward for babies and children and | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
the gynaecology unit will be part of the refurbishment. An HIV | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
campaigner from Cornwall as Colin for people to be regularly tested | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
for the disease. There are T Hall became HIV-positive after her | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
husband contracted it while working abroad. She says that earlier | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
diagnosis could have changed a quality of life. Biggest figures | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
show that 136 people in Cornwall were accessing HIB services. In | :09:43. | :09:51. | |
Devon it stood at 234, Torbay, 93, and in Plymouth, 138. Somerset and | :09:52. | :09:58. | |
Dorset, 148 and 112 people were treated. But he read Hall joins me. | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
It was some time before you or he Chidi was diagnosed. How do that | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
affect your quality of life? about three years I was very unwell. | :10:08. | :10:16. | |
I didn't know well. -- he Chidi. All of the test she could think of. | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
Her husband was also unwell but he was still working at sea and could | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
not get any treatment but we were both feeling unwell for about three | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
years before he actually had aeons. He was hospitalised and refined it | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
to both have it. Now that you have been diagnosed, how are you | :10:34. | :10:44. | |
controlling that? We take metro viral drugs,, they're very good, I | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
cannot remember the words! They are highly active. They are an | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
improvement on what used to be available and they have been | :10:51. | :10:59. | |
available since 2003. They're very good at controlling the disease | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
infection. They can make you so you have no virus in your blood | :11:03. | :11:09. | |
whatsoever. They don't necessarily take away the damage that has | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
already been done and that is the point about early detection. | :11:13. | :11:20. | |
that point, how would you like the checking to be changed? Testing | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
should be as routine as going to the dentist, having as mayor, if | :11:25. | :11:32. | |
you are a woman, because that is detecting damage due to another | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
sexually-transmitted virus and yet we go for those smears all the time, | :11:36. | :11:46. | |
every three years and don't think twice about it. Young girls can be | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
inoculated and no one gives them any stigma. HIV should be exactly | :11:51. | :11:59. | |
like that. Like pap smears. If you are feeling under the weather as | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
well as having something, going to the doctor and having a blood test, | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
as well as having something like diabetes tests, like blood tests | :12:09. | :12:14. | |
for anaemia, which is all very routine. They should also do HIV. | :12:14. | :12:21. | |
It should happen for everybody. Thank you very much for joining us. | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
Staff and players at Plymouth Argyle have agreed to the | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
possibility of not possibly being paid this month. The administrator | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
field in his legal bid to get the preferred bidder for the club, | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
Bishop International, to pay wages. He says he was assured the money to | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
complete the deal will be available next to it. If the deal goes | :12:39. | :12:46. | |
through, the staff will be paid on 20th August eighth. Coming up... | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
We'll hear from the owners of beach huts which have been destroyed by | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
fire. Plus: Will they have what it takes? The hopefuls lining up to | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
volunteer for the Olympics. And messing about on the river as we | :12:55. | :13:05. | |
:13:05. | :13:08. | ||
continue our journey down the Dart. Part of a seafront parade of much- | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
loved beach huts has been destroyed, the police believe, by arsonists. | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
Families who lost thousands of pounds worth of possessions have | :13:14. | :13:16. | |
told us of their sadness and anger. Our correspondent, Simon Hall, | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
reports from Paignton. The beach has that been a popular feature of | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
Paignton seafront for more than 100 years. It took minutes for these at | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
the heart of the parade to be destroyed. The young family rented | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
one of them, this is when it was. This is what it has become. I am | :13:36. | :13:43. | |
absolutely devastated. All of our summer gear, for those few weeks, | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
has just gone. We have nothing left. I spent lots of time with my | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
friends here because a friend and I spent ages here. Now everything has | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
gone, I can do nothing. We hope to get on backs in. The beach huts | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
were wooden, fuelling the fire took an intensity sufficient to that | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
class. Thousands of pounds with the positions were destroyed, body | :14:08. | :14:14. | |
boards, wet suits and camping gear. We spent a lot of time here this | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
season, it is a great meeting place for friends. And the kids have a | :14:18. | :14:25. | |
great time all season. It is quite sad because socially we have a | :14:25. | :14:27. | |
network of friends to come around and we spend the weekends and | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
throughout the summer here. It has at some of the ruined it. The beach | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
huts are so popular there isn't it you waiting list. The police | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
believe the fire was started by arsonists. You can imagine how I | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
feel, it's disgraceful, disgusting and that people know anything, tell | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
the police and let's get this dealt with officially. Devon and Cornwall | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
police tell me they are investigating what happened here | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
and are asking for anyone with any information to contact them. Torbay | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
Council said they intend to replace the lost beach huts as quickly as | :14:58. | :15:08. | |
this weekend. Surf stars from all over the world have joined music | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
stars in Cornwall this week for the UK's biggest surfing festival. As | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
Eleanor Parkinson reports, thousands of people are expected to | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
attend the Board Masters event in Newquay, swelling the town's | :15:16. | :15:23. | |
population and bringing in much- needed money. This beach in Newquay | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
is a mecca for surfers and this week and it plays host to some of | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
the best. They have come from Brazil, Spain and America. The | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
conditions have not been ideal, there has been strong wind but | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
they're making the best of it. very hard conditions. But I hope to | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
get the surf tomorrow. I had a couple of rides and they were | :15:42. | :15:46. | |
enough to make me pass through to the next round. This festival | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
celebrates everything about surfing, off the beach there is plenty to | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
buy a ticket that ultimate look. And there is plenty to do if you | :15:53. | :15:59. | |
don't want to take to the waves. This festival is also about music. | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
Tamara, thousands will be here above the cliffs for a two-day | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
music festival. There are nine stages and headline acts such as | :16:07. | :16:12. | |
Fatboy Slim and a Liza Doolittle. The complex is huge but tourism | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
leaders want to keep it green. They have all set the size of the | :16:15. | :16:22. | |
festival site, 40 acres, with 40 acres of Amazon rainforest. Board | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
Masters do well up to keep the screen, recycling, minimising waste | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
and this takes him into a new a league. And the council wants this | :16:31. | :16:36. | |
to happen across the council -- County. The festival runs for | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
another three days and is expected not used to bring in the crowds but | :16:39. | :16:48. | |
also their money. Hundreds of people from all over Devon and | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
Cornwall are hoping to book their place at next year's London | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
Olympics over the next few days. They're being interviewed for some | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
of the 70,000 volunteering roles. Organisers say without their | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
efforts the Games couldn't go ahead. Hamish Marshall has been to meet | :16:58. | :17:05. | |
the would-be volunteers. It isn't just sportsmen and women who have | :17:05. | :17:12. | |
fallen victims. This catering worker from Plymouth has. So does | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
this Royal Navy Bursar from Princetown. And then Russia, a | :17:15. | :17:22. | |
retired IT expert. For part of next summer, they want to make the | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
London Olympics work. Like these volunteers did at the Commonwealth | :17:26. | :17:32. | |
Games in Manchester in 2002. It's at the other end... Work can get | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
the bus? John Hewitt from Newton Abbot is retired. A friend was a | :17:37. | :17:44. | |
volunteer at the Sydney Olympics which sparked his interest. | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
thought the sense of occasion was amazing. And very exciting. He did | :17:48. | :17:53. | |
a fairly mundane job. About think it is something I wanted a party. | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
John could end up volunteering in London, Weymouth and Portland or | :17:57. | :18:03. | |
any other venue. We want people who will be city be hosts to the rest | :18:03. | :18:10. | |
of the world, to the UK in 2012. People with enthusiasm, just great | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
hosts, great personalities that people of the UK have got and | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
particularly that character of the south-west. In this converted | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
sports hall and Plymouth, decisions will be made on who will go forward | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
from Devon and Cornwall to carry out roles like Manning car-parks, | :18:24. | :18:30. | |
seeing people to their seats and other behind-the-scenes tasks. It | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
is a slick operation with 16 boobs in use all the time as 1200 people | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
are interviewed to become volunteers over the next few days. | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
Among them as Janet. She will be sitting in both seats. She is also | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
one of the interviewers helping with the selection. Friendliness is | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
the most important thing. And then the ability to be able to talk to | :18:53. | :19:01. | |
people can't do the job. Yes, basically friendliness. If the | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
offender towards me and people around them, they should be OK. | :19:06. | :19:15. | |
There is no pay, one of the reward of satisfaction. -- only the award. | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
This summer, in the run-up to the Dartmouth Regatta at the end of the | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
month, we're exploring the River Dart from its source on Dartmoor | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
down to the sea. Tonight, on the section between Dartmeet and | :19:24. | :19:31. | |
Dartington, our South Devon reporter, John Ayres, has been | :19:31. | :19:37. | |
trying out some of the more unusual activities on offer along the river. | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
From here, you can see Dartmeet, where Anna Rosen ski ended up last | :19:42. | :19:49. | |
week, and we go through the valley, onto the river Dart Country Park | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
and then at Faslane. The River Dart might appear to be tranquil but | :19:53. | :20:03. | |
:20:03. | :20:05. | ||
over the years, one part has become a hive of physical activity. I am | :20:05. | :20:11. | |
not doing that! This used to be the base for the outward bound Trust, | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
where young people came to discover themselves. Now it is the River | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
Dart Country Park. We still have schools coming down on residential | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
courses and staying with us I'm going climbing on Dartmoor, caving, | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
canoeing, doing what I it would bind used to do. There's a modern | :20:29. | :20:39. | |
:20:39. | :20:41. | ||
touch with activities that of as well as on the water. This isn't | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
for the faint-hearted. Or people scared of heights. And 30 feet up. | :20:46. | :20:54. | |
The River Dart is just below me. And getting between these planks is | :20:54. | :21:04. | |
:21:04. | :21:15. | ||
more difficult than it might You find a lot of people look at | :21:15. | :21:17. | |
the course and feel confident and are soon as they get up there and | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
swing about in the trees, they see it is difficult and they get sweaty | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
and nervous. In the end, they make it through and it's a big challenge | :21:25. | :21:31. | |
for people to get up there. River also plays its part in power | :21:31. | :21:37. | |
in the park and sometimes they sell electricity back to the grid. | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
Founded during the reign of King Canute in 10 a tin, Buckfast Abbey | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
has seen it all. For centuries it was crucial to the local trade and | :21:46. | :21:54. | |
built up great wealth. landowners of the time, 500 years, | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
they were desperate to get on the right side of the ecclesiastical | :21:58. | :22:07. | |
world. So, giving huge tracts of land to the Abbey over this period, | :22:07. | :22:12. | |
and the old bat on the land but villages. Such as South Brent, | :22:12. | :22:20. | |
Kingsbridge. And you have to understand why these abbeys were | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
such a great attraction to Henry the eighth. Henry VII went on to | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
dissolve and destroy the Abbey in 15-29. Almost 400 years later, it | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
was rebuilt by Benedictine monks. These days it is famous for its | :22:33. | :22:43. | |
:22:43. | :22:52. | ||
Following the river downstream is the South Devon Railway. Years ago | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
this was a branch line on the railway network. These days, | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
volunteers statisticians and the engines. The railway attracts | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
thousands of visitors each year to see a little of lifelike it used to | :23:03. | :23:11. | |
be. The things you see out of the window, the kingfishers, all of the | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
fish jumping around, the seasons as it goes through the years, the | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
railway remains the same, in harmony with the countryside. | :23:20. | :23:30. | |
:23:30. | :23:33. | ||
week we will follow the river past Dartington. Very nice. Gorgeous. | :23:33. | :23:39. | |
That is a very nice series. I love the River Dart. I liked John | :23:39. | :23:49. | |
:23:49. | :23:49. | ||
That looks better for the weekend. There is quite a lot of time around | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
already this evening, it is getting there were and overnight tonight he | :23:54. | :23:59. | |
will have to return to those damp, misty conditions. Tomorrow isn't | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
different, generally cloudy with showers around and into the evening, | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
some more persistent rain. Already the cloud is on the picture, quite | :24:08. | :24:12. | |
a long way off, this curve of cloud in the middle of the Atlantic, this | :24:12. | :24:16. | |
will bring us clearance once it goes through Saturday morning but | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
at the same time when it arrives it will give us some outbreaks of | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
persistent rain. Between the two, it's not as straightforward, we saw | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
how the rest of drizzle around and also that low cloud and hill fog | :24:29. | :24:35. | |
over the tops of the romance, so that's tonight. Over out, this | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
weather front gets closer, this is lunchtime tomorrow and it does not | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
really getting until the every evening. Or persistent rain is | :24:43. | :24:49. | |
associated with that. After that, it is brighter with some sunshine, | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
be clear the air so visibility will improve and a lot of low cloud will | :24:52. | :24:58. | |
lift out of the way. And some sunny spells with one or two showers. | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
This is a cloud structure from this afternoon, you can make out the | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
outline of the UK but it's not easy. There is a lot of cloud, some | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
drizzle right by moving through parts of north Devon and Somerset, | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
some breaks and the cloud here and there an overnight, any holes we | :25:14. | :25:20. | |
have in the cloud will rapidly fill in. Overnight temperatures not | :25:20. | :25:29. | |
falling below 15 or 16 degrees for some of us. Quite a warm night. | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
Tomorrow, Bestie, it's a great start, gradually brightening up but | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
there were not in any holes and that cloud and if they do form it | :25:36. | :25:42. | |
will be temporarily. By the end of the day, the patchy rain returns as | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
a weather front gets closer. Temperatures tomorrow, it will not | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
be cold, between 18 and 20 degrees, perhaps could run the coastline | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
with more of a breeze off the relatively cool sea. And for the | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
Isles of Scilly, after some practice in the morning, it will | :25:58. | :26:08. | |
:26:08. | :26:16. | ||
And for the Sir first... In particular, those heading to the | :26:16. | :26:26. | |
:26:26. | :26:31. | ||
Much better with run Saturday, Tamara, 6 ft and clean. The rest of | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
the surfing conditions, the south coast will have some top be so if | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
onto the wind swings around and it will become messy with a southerly | :26:38. | :26:45. | |
breeze. The north coast, feeling quite well, four - 5 ft and mainly | :26:45. | :26:54. | |
clean. The coastal forecast, the wind changes direction, south- | :26:54. | :27:01. | |
westerly, backing into suddenly, forced five. This ability generally | :27:01. | :27:08. | |
quite poor as the rain sets in. He was the forecast for the weekend. | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
Much brighter. On Saturday, cloud and outbreaks of rain in the | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
morning, moving swiftly away from us and then it brightens up and | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
apart from one or two showers, sunny spells and better visibility. | :27:20. | :27:24. | |
Sunday is nice, 18 - 19 and try for Monday as well. Have a good evening. | :27:24. | :27:30. |
