Paraclimbing and Cooking

BBC Radio 4 - In Touch, Paraclimbing and Cooking

Peter White talks to Abbie Robinson about paraclimbing as a Paralympic sport and Simon Mahoney talks about cooking with no sight.

Abbie Robinson is a champion paraclimber.  She talks to us about her passion for the sport and how she wants more blind and visually impaired people to take up the sport so it can qualify as a Paralympic event.  

Simon Mahoney suddenly found he had to learn how to cook for himself when his wife recently died.  He's now decided to put all that he has learnt into a new book.  Simon talks to us about cooking safely, but with aspiration, when you have no sight.

Presented by Peter White
Produced by Louise Clarke-Rowbotham
