Gabriel Seal describes an evacuee holiday on horseback
Here is an interesting talk by a University man who has taught for two years at a London co-educational school now evacuated to South Wales. Since the war, in his holidays from teaching, he has ridden a horse over the Downs from Sussex to Dorset, through the Welsh mountains and up the Pennine Chain, from Derbyshire to the Scottish Border, something like 600 miles in all, and he had never ridden a horse before!
Gabriel Seal , who has broadcast in a number of radio plays and cycled before the war through nearly every country in Europe, will discuss some of the difficulties he met on his equine excursion, and some of the curious experiences he had in wartime Britain.
