The Church Mice and Sampson (the Church Cat) hitch a ride with the Vicar when he heads off for a seaside holiday. Of course this goes horribly wrong, and they find themselves stranded. (Interestingly, the holiday is set in Graham Oakley's home town of Lyme Regis, and the shops and seafront are real.)
