BBC Radio 4 - Blind Man's Bete Noire, Holidays

Peter White is joined by Simon Calder to explore one of Peter's pet hates, holidays.

Today Peter White's bete noire, as a blind person, is holidays. Peter and Simon Calder spend the Isle of Wight ferry ride exploring the best type of holiday for Peter.

In Blind Man's Bete Noire, Peter White explores some of the things which annoy him most about his blindness.
In the second programme Peter is joined by broadcaster and travel expert Simon Calder. They spend the Isle of Wight ferry crossing discussing the best type of holiday for Peter to enjoy independence, flexibility and action.

Simon suggests a cruise may well meet Peter's requirements and mentions that there are also tailored holidays for blind people. Peter talks to one such specialist company about the holidays they offer, providing blind travellers with a sighted guide, to enable them to go on holiday on their own.

Producer: Cheryl Gabriel.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
