River Journeys with Conrad Humphreys - River Dart

International yachtsman Conrad Humphreys explores the rivers of Devon and Salcombe estuary in his one-of-a-kind lugger, Bounty’s End. He meets up with a myriad of interesting people along the way to talk about history of the rivers and the sailing boats that have shaped the local area. "Sailing a traditional boat on these rivers has really helped me to understand just how much our waterways have shaped our history. It’s all too easy to think about the big round the world exploratory voyages that Captain James Cook and Robert Fitzroy undertook, but around the UK every river, estuary and harbour has made its own unique contribution to our prosperity, our way of life and our understanding of the world." Episode 2: River Dart Conrad travels up the River Dart, past Dartmouth Castle and toward the famous Britannia Royal Naval College and then on up to Totnes. Along the way he learns about some of the people and ships that have shaped the Dart's history.
