‘Ulster By The Sea’ returns for a second series on BBC1 NI to explore caravanning life and meet holidaymakers, young and old, who love to escape to their ‘home from home’ in Portrush and Carnlough.

Back for series two, it has been a tough year for familiar faces Brian and partner John. Brian is recovering from a heart attack, but the pair are determined to enjoy some summer fun at their luxury caravan in Portrush with the help of family, friends and an Abba tribute band.

Kathryn also keeps herself busy, spending time at her family caravan near Ballycastle training hard for triathlons. Her life was transformed by a kidney transplant 13 years ago which has spurred her on to embrace this demanding sport.
