Three men and their milk float embarked on an epic journey across England. Buying a 1958 decommissioned milk float on eBay, the team set off from Lowestoft to Land's End. They succeeded in blacking out a Cornish campsite whilst recharging their float, stayed with monks at Buckfast Abbey where they undertook a vow of silence, and drove five hundred miles to King Arthur's birthplace, Tintagel, to find it was closed - all in the name of discovering lost England.
