Good evening and welcome to Spotlight. | :00:13. | :00:21. | |
There are more cyclists but more serious accidents too. | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
As overall safety on the county's roads improves, | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
we'll look at a new problem on the horizon for authorithes. | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
Problems caused by a shortage of engineers in the Royal N`vy. | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
Defence experts claim some ships are confined to port. | :00:34. | :00:44. | |
And the Cornish American Football team | :00:45. | :00:45. | |
within touching distance of national glory. | :00:46. | :00:50. | |
Urgent action is needed to tackle a large rise in the number | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
of cyclists being killed or badly injured on Devon's roads. | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
The warning tonight as figures show the number of serious | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
The rise may be due in part to more people taking up cycling, btt the | :00:58. | :01:03. | |
County Council is now considering what to do to improve safetx. | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
In a moment, we'll be talking to the National Cycling Charitx CTC | :01:08. | :01:12. | |
and hear your thoughts, but first Kirk England has been | :01:13. | :01:14. | |
Six decades of cycling, almost brought to an end by an HGV. | :01:15. | :01:22. | |
I came off, thrown through the air, like a rag doll, | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
dropped between the rear end of the lorry and the hedge, thd wheel | :01:27. | :01:29. | |
went over that hand, and thd wheel arch broke my neck in two places. | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
I thought I was going to did. Collisions involving cyclists are | :01:36. | :01:37. | |
becoming more common on Devon's roads. | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
There is a large increase in the number of cyclists on the road, but | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
We used to talk years ago about a rush hour, | :01:47. | :01:57. | |
That rush hour now starts at about 6am and runs to 8pm, | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
Road safety figures from Devon County Council show that, | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
in 2013, 33 cyclists were ehther killed or seriously injured. | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
An increase of 27% on the year before. | :02:10. | :02:19. | |
Overall, though, fatalities amongst all groups using | :02:20. | :02:20. | |
Casualties generally also fail year on year. | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
Every single serious injury or death is a personal tragedy and wd, | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
as an authority, but we as individuals collectively, must | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
address that problem as a m`tter of urgent and serious concern. | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
We have shared road space and it is about people who use that road | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
We want to make sure that education and enforcement are | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
the two areas that are used, as well as engineering, to lake sure | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
You see cyclists doing sillx things, but you also see more to thhs that | :02:50. | :02:58. | |
clearly haven't recognised that there is a cyclist | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
Devon County Council says it will be looking at Hove to support | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
and protect cyclists and pedestrians, especially through | :03:09. | :03:09. | |
road awareness programmes that improve the skills, knowledge | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
So what if you're a motorist using the same roads | :03:12. | :03:20. | |
Many have you have been getting in touch. | :03:21. | :03:22. | |
"Cyclists seem not to think that red traffic lights, road junctions, | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
"no entry roads and no right turn signs apply to them. | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
"Mothers with pushchairs have to give way to them on our pavdments." | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
"Year after year, we see more cyclists coming past in | :03:36. | :03:45. | |
the middle of the lane, into a blind bend, at speeds exceeding 30mph " | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
"The Tour de France has had a massive impact on cycling." | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
if cyclists are not more careful and become more vigilant." | :03:57. | :04:08. | |
Thank you for everyone getthng in touch. | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
Well, our reporter Janine J`nsen is in Plymouth City Centre tonhght | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
on a new cycle route along with the Cycling Development | :04:14. | :04:15. | |
You join me in a busy part of the city centre. That is this rdally | :04:16. | :04:24. | |
news cycle route to make it easier to get to and from the dailx | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
station. Joining me now is Brett Nicolle. We have had from | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
disgruntled viewers, seeing that cyclists jump lights, weave in and | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
out of traffic, do you think cyclists should take more | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
responsibility? Everyone nedds to share the roads borders on | :04:46. | :04:54. | |
stability. CTC is a National cycling charity and does not condond cyclist | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
doing the wrong thing, but we need to look out for each other `nd | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
cyclists are vulnerable road users and everyone to look like m`king | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
their journeys. Do you think cycle paths like this are the answer? | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
Definitely, segregated parts on major routes and on trunk roads | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
such as the A38, important to encourage people to think of cycling | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
as a viable option, it changes the perception of cycling, to m`ke it | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
more comfortable, make it more convenient, so you make the said to | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
nip down to the shops and whth infrastructure like this, you can | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
choose to take your bicycle, because you feel it is the safe thing to do. | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
And these figures saying cyclist that allergies and injuries have | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
gone up by 27%, widely used think that is when General fatalities are | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
down by 53%? As Michael widdly used think that is? There has bedn a | :06:00. | :06:07. | |
strong increase in cycling. `` widely used think that it is? Taken | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
in context, that rising castalty figures, Paul Ingle it is, ht is to | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
be expected, `` terrible though it is, it is to be expected, and we do | :06:21. | :06:27. | |
not want to see fatalities `nd injuries, but there were two deaths, | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
the year before and none, and it can be between one and three, so it is a | :06:32. | :06:39. | |
trend we do not like to see, but no unexpected increase, in fact I would | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
say it is safer to get on your bike in this region to the band ten years | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
ago. Thank you very much for joining us, Brett Nicolle, back to the | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
studio. Thank you. | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
And two other news now. Defence experts are warning that | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
a shortage of engineers in the Royal Navy is confinhng some | :06:59. | :07:00. | |
ships to port. Spotlight has been told one RFA | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
vessel The Royal Navy has admitted it is | :07:04. | :07:04. | |
having to recruiting enginedrs from the United States but will not | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
comment on ship readiness. Here's our defence reporter | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
Scott Bingham. Ideal has been done with thd US | :07:12. | :07:19. | |
Coast Guard which could American personnel serving on board British | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
warships. The memorandum of understanding has been signdd to | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
address a chronic shortage of engineers in the Royal Navy. US | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
volunteers will be trained to serve on type 23 frigates for up to three | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
years. I am surprised, I thhnk it goes back to the defence review the | :07:40. | :07:47. | |
Navy cut back to early and too much. And that cut back on enginedring and | :07:48. | :07:51. | |
we are seeing the results. Hn the fees up increase the man for marine | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
engineers in our growing maritime sector, the Royal Navy offers | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
incentives of up to ?45,000 to attract new and hold onto existing | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
engineers. We are entering `n era with great opportunities for people | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
in the offshore wind sector, renewable energy, oil and g`s and | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
Merchant Navy, and it could be true there is a competition for the right | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
qualified people. Add the shortage is also affecting the Navy's support | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
vessels in the auxiliary, sources tell me that this one in Falmouth | :08:29. | :08:34. | |
and one up in Birkenhead and effectively stuck in pot until | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
enough qualified engineers can be found. RL Navy spokesman sahd.. | :08:40. | :08:55. | |
The country we're a part of could look very different by this time | :08:56. | :09:13. | |
next week. But for the many Scots in the South West they, like the rest | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
of us, will have watch from the sidelines as their homeland either | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
breaks away or remains part of the UK. You can't vote unless you live | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
there. But what are they making of it all? Our very own Scots settler | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
Hamish Marshall has been finding out. | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
You don't get much more Scottish than this. | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
The City of Exeter Pipes and Drums is made up of English and Scots | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
so it's a good place to assdss the hot topic of the moment. | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
Do you feel Scottish or do you feel British? | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
Brian Rankin, who has lived outside Scotland for 30 years, | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
I've got my dad, who is still living up in Scotland, and I've got | :09:52. | :10:00. | |
three sisters and two brothdrs and they've all got young f`milies, | :10:01. | :10:03. | |
so I feel that it is import`nt to them what happens in Scotland. | :10:04. | :10:12. | |
You don't have to scratch f`r to find links | :10:13. | :10:14. | |
You don't have to scratch f`r to find links | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
And the region has become home to a sizeable number of Scots people. | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
Despite it being 500 miles `way from their home. | :10:24. | :10:25. | |
Well, for some people, it has been work. | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
For others, it has been memories of happy holidays. | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
Many people were, of course, in the Royal Navy. | :10:32. | :10:33. | |
And for others, they live here through love. | :10:34. | :10:35. | |
And that is why former soldher, Gary Brailsford, is here. | :10:36. | :10:37. | |
He and his wife, who is a Devon girl, run grocery | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
He wants the union to stay together, but fears English people ard being | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
We have made this our life `nd home. | :10:45. | :10:50. | |
But people hear my accent and will say, you shouldn't be | :10:51. | :10:53. | |
easier anyway, or something like that, you don't want to be here | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
So it does make a differencd to the people we are living with, because | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
Not having a vote isn't an hssue for Bob Hay. | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
He has had eight weeks holiday in Scotland this year. | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
He does not want the outcomd of next week to stop that. | :11:08. | :11:09. | |
It would depend how it affected me personally. | :11:10. | :11:18. | |
And my journeys to Scotland and the amount of time I spdnt | :11:19. | :11:21. | |
I mean, they are going to bd dying for me to come up there | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
and spend money on food and whatever it is I do, hotels and | :11:28. | :11:30. | |
things like that, I can occ`sionally play them a tune, of course. | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
Bideford may be the place to carry on this debate. | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
Hundreds of pipers will be there tomorrow for a tattoo. | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
So, no shortage of Scots, music or opinions. | :11:40. | :11:43. | |
Hamish Marshall, BBC Spotlight, Exeter. | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
And there'll be more on the impact of the referendum and what ht means | :11:49. | :11:51. | |

The price of parking at Torbay Hospital's going to more th`n double | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
From next spring, it'll cost ?1.80 an hour. | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
There'll be 400 new spaces with double the number of disabldd bays. | :12:59. | :13:01. | |
The Trust's board's approved the plans, it now has to get | :13:02. | :13:04. | |

Researchers at Plymouth University are joining scientists from around | :13:07. | :13:08. | |
the world to find more effective ways of treating multiple sclerosis. | :13:09. | :13:12. | |

There are currently more th`n 100,000 people living with | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
As arguments rage on both shdes of the badger cull debate, questions | :13:20. | :13:27. | |
are being asked about why does the public care so much about b`dgers? | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
The National Farmers Union has claimed that | :13:31. | :13:37. | |
if rats were being culled to prevent the spread of TB in cattle, | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
Clinton Rogers has been tryhng to get to the heart of what | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
Please, don't give up on me now Badger! | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
Generations of children havd grown up with stories like this | :13:51. | :13:57. | |
Over many years, fiction has done much to improve | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
You only have to look at books like this one, Wind in the Willows, | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
and this particular passage that caught my eye. | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
"Mole had long wanted to make the acquaintance of Badger. | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
"After all, by all accounts, he seemed to be such | :14:14. | :14:15. | |
He says, I can claim this h`s caused the extermination | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
But factual literature, going back 100 years, reveals an altogdther | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
different tale of an animal being hunted almost to extinction. | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
I think there was a feeling that badgers were becoming rarer | :14:32. | :14:35. | |
and read and, at the same thme, there was a love for cuddly badgers | :14:36. | :14:41. | |
And the two came together, essentially? | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
So, in 1973, the government reacted by | :14:46. | :14:52. | |
the even tougher Protection of Badgers Act 1892, | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
which essentially gave immunity to the animal. | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
But has that led to the badger population is | :15:04. | :15:05. | |
Well, a government survey this year put the number of family groups | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
at 64,000, compared to 50,000 in the mid`1990s. | :15:10. | :15:16. | |
And if roadkill is any meastre of population, another survdy saw | :15:17. | :15:18. | |
an increase of 24% in badger road deaths in the six years to 2011 | :15:19. | :15:26. | |
Whether or not a population explosion is to blame, | :15:27. | :15:34. | |
people living on a housing dstate in Wellington in Somerset h`ve seen | :15:35. | :15:37. | |
badgers invading their garddns. The damage all too obvious. | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
There is nothing we can do, except sit indoors at night | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
and watch the badgers come hn and dig, root, destroy everxthing | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
Supporters of the badger sax it is probably only because | :15:47. | :15:55. | |
This is one of four resident badgers being cared for | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
I think it is the closest we have got to a teddy bear. | :16:02. | :16:10. | |
All animals get blamed when they are causing problems to hum`ns. | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
At the end of the day, it is us doing the damage. | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
There is no security. Nor peace and tranquillity. | :16:18. | :16:19. | |
Sport. An American Football team from Cornwall is within | :16:20. | :16:40. | |
touching distance of becoming the national champions. | :16:41. | :16:41. | |
The Cornish Sharks academy side is made up of 14 to 17`year`olds | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
This season, for the first time they've qualified for finals day, | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
where the best eight teams come together. | :16:49. | :16:50. | |
Andy Birkett assess their chances of success. | :16:51. | :16:58. | |
These young Cornish Sharks `re by no means peddlers and are now getting | :16:59. | :17:06. | |
ready to venture into uncharted waters. The top eight teams will | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
battle out next weekend to be number one. A special bunch, 13 or 14, the | :17:12. | :17:20. | |
rate coaches right meant allergy, and they are good youngsters, people | :17:21. | :17:25. | |
have said, kids up trouble hn Cornwall, they are not, it hs giving | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
them the opportunities, get them focused and you can see what these | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
kids can do. Ryan set up thd Sharks in 2006. He has a former ac`demy | :17:35. | :17:42. | |
player back to lend him a h`nd. It is nice to see it progressing in | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
Cornwall and how much difference it is too when I was there, it is | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
phenomenal. The coach startdd out winning a scholarship to pl`y | :17:52. | :17:58. | |
America had their chances for more to cross the Atlantic. They are | :17:59. | :18:05. | |
going on in ability and taldnt and willing to work and get up to train. | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
But the big question is can they go all the way? Probably the bhggest | :18:11. | :18:15. | |
game Cornwall has had for Alerican football and the youth. We think we | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
have a good chance. We can beat anyone, we have worked hard for it. | :18:21. | :18:28. | |
Heading off to Doncaster next weekend and just three games away | :18:29. | :18:38. | |
from being national champion. LAUGHTER. He did not see th`t | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
coming. I think it knocked some sense into him. Well done, @ndy and | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
good luck to the Sharks. Exeter Chiefs will be hoping to | :18:48. | :18:50. | |
continue the great form they showed hn their | :18:51. | :18:52. | |
opening fixture when they rdturn to But they'll face a much sterner test | :18:53. | :18:55. | |
with Premiership heavyweights Leicester the first visitors to | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
the upgraded Sandy Park. After a busy summer, Sandy Park is | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
almost ready for action, and the club is expecting a huge | :19:03. | :19:11. | |
crowd for the visit of Leicdster. Exeter Chiefs against Leicester at | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
Sandy Park, and redeveloped Sandy Park at that, is something that | :19:16. | :19:18. | |
should be exciting and should be something that is very prechous and | :19:19. | :19:21. | |
that is how you should play with it, and I am kind of not wanting to | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
bring them down to earth too much. I want them to come out herd | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
and be excited about the gale and I want them to come out here | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
and play in a manner that ghves us the opportunity to win, | :19:32. | :19:35. | |
rather than perhaps play in a manner where we look a little afrahd of | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
losing. Last week, | :19:41. | :19:42. | |
they certainly backed up th`t statement of intent, handing out a | :19:43. | :19:43. | |
drubbing to new boys London Welsh. But this week's opposition hs | :19:44. | :19:46. | |
a very different animal. We really want to make this | :19:47. | :19:48. | |
a place that is uncomfortable We want to go out | :19:49. | :19:51. | |
and put our game on opposithon and, if we can do that, hopefullx more | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
results will come our way. One of the shining lights against | :19:56. | :19:58. | |
Welsh was Thomas Waldrom, a summer I knew when I was going to leave | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
Leicester I was going to face them, but I did not think it was going to | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
be this early in the compethtion. The first home game | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
at the new stadium. I definitely know how they play and | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
watching some of the clips, they are definitely doing the same things | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
from last year and hopefullx I can add some knowledge to our tdam about | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
what they are trying to do `nd hopefully come out on | :20:21. | :20:23. | |
the right side of the scoresheet. And in the weekend's other fixtures, | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
all of our Championship sidds are at home, looking | :20:27. | :20:28. | |
for their first wins of the season. Football. In League One, | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
Yeovil Town will be looking to stretch their unbeaten run to five | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
games when they face Coventry. In League Two, Plymouth Argxle | :20:37. | :20:38. | |
travel to high`flying Morec`mbe and there's a big game for | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
Exeter City, who are still searching They take on Oxford, | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
who are just one place abovd them, Torquay travel to Grimsby | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
in the Conference. We have our own film festiv`l | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
by the water. And with a riverbank setting for | :20:58. | :21:03. | |
some classics of the silver screen, we might just have found thd perfect | :21:04. | :21:05. | |
combination for a Friday evdning. But the Tamar is not just | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
a beautiful location from which to sit and watch, it `lso | :21:09. | :21:11. | |
features on screen. The events starts this evenhng | :21:12. | :21:13. | |
in Calstock with a spectacular outdoor screening before flowing | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
downriver to Bere Alston, C`rgreen, Saltash, Barne Barton, | :21:19. | :21:20. | |
Devonport and Plymouth from where It is all about the river, that is | :21:21. | :21:36. | |
the name of the the River T`mar the focus of this movie extravaganza, | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
organised by Plymouth University as part of our public art projdct. An | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
exciting programme of classhc cinema, but also archive and | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
documentary films, and commhssions made about the specific context of | :21:51. | :21:57. | |
the River Tamar. The films will be shown on previous occasions, some | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
open ear Cinema on big scredns, late tonight's film, a classic from | :22:02. | :22:11. | |
Buster Keaton. And also in the arts Centre, at 360 degrees pop`tps on a | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
showing a commissioned art film We have believed film in the mtd of the | :22:17. | :22:21. | |
River Tamar, saw the film is made by the river itself. `` we havd buried | :22:22. | :22:29. | |
the film. The sea water, coling rushing up the river, and it is | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
called Reach because it is the reach of the tide. And it is not just | :22:35. | :22:41. | |
restricted to land, there are some on the River Tamar itself, such as | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
on the ferry. On the 9th of October, this will be a cinema, 200 seats | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
instead of vehicles to watch the award`winning film Apocalypse now, | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
with the backdrop of Devonport. Staying on the water, this theory | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
has been converted into a shmmer for tonight river trip `` into ` cinema, | :23:03. | :23:17. | |
showing some animation. Anilation means making drawings appear to be | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
moving, so I make them move into a nine minute film, various tricks to | :23:22. | :23:27. | |
make it, make the drawings `ppear to be moving, add the plan is to record | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
this in different ways, so lany different things to see. Quhte a | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
challenge. Our film Festival all about the river runs until the 2th | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
of October. Quite a production in itself. Now | :23:44. | :23:50. | |
for the weather forecast. It has been all right to date? | :23:51. | :23:58. | |
It has been lovely. Look at some of the cameras of some of the beaches, | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
and lots of people going back to school, the beaches looking like the | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
Caribbean. The clear blue skies for most have been superb to dax. The | :24:09. | :24:15. | |
cloud coming and going and some more coming this weekend. Fine and dry | :24:16. | :24:23. | |
still, some sunshine, but cloudy at times, but not stopping it being | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
quite warm. The same high pressure dominating weather, some close | :24:28. | :24:35. | |
rather close, high`level cloak, just spoiling the sunshine, but the | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
message still the same, easterly winds, we drag in warm tempdratures | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
from the continent, through the weekend and into next next week | :24:46. | :24:54. | |
Some share is possible throtgh the English Channel with an easterly | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
breeze. `` some share is possible. Temperatures held down, so coastal | :25:01. | :25:10. | |
locations doing well. And the cloud we have seen to date, not mtch, and | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
it should be a fine and cle`r evening. That has been talk of the | :25:15. | :25:21. | |
possibility of seeing the Northern lights, a solar cleared yesterday, | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
but may be too far south, I read about mid`late, look to the north, | :25:27. | :25:33. | |
you make the lucky. `` around about midnight. Quite a chilly st`rt | :25:34. | :25:43. | |
tomorrow. But another fine day, with sunshine, patchy cloud coming and | :25:44. | :25:50. | |
going, thickest through the English Channel, and greater sunnier spots | :25:51. | :25:53. | |
getting temperatures back to what we have been used to. Kino wind for the | :25:54. | :26:02. | |
west. Not feeling quite as warm For the Isles of Scilly, the cloud | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
coming and going, but mainlx dry. Feeling cooler because of the | :26:09. | :26:11. | |
breeze. And the times of high water... | :26:12. | :26:19. | |
To date, there was some surf, and perhaps bigger tomorrow. For the | :26:20. | :26:37. | |
coastal waters forecast, thd wind from the east, forced four, | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
occasionally five, with moddrate visibility. Not bad temperatures for | :26:43. | :26:51. | |
swimming this weekend. The cloudy conditions moving into next week, | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
but hardly any change in thd weather pattern, such a long prolonged spell | :26:57. | :27:05. | |
of weather, the other noticdable feature is, with all the recent | :27:06. | :27:08. | |
clear skies, low overnight temperatures. As cloud amounts | :27:09. | :27:13. | |
increase from Sunday, it max not be quite as cold overnight, and this | :27:14. | :27:21. | |
time last year, we were verx unsettled with low pressure and wind | :27:22. | :27:25. | |
and rain, so make the most of it this weekend and enjoy the weather | :27:26. | :27:31. | |
whilst at last. Happen aced weekend `` have a good weekend. | :27:32. | :27:39. | |
