Ramble

BBC Radio 4 - Spring Stories, Ramble

By Eley Williams. An original short story for radio, read by John Lightbody.

"I’ll remember that feeling as we pressed on, broaching what we could in our own way, and making space for what we had a right to all along, even if we did not always have the words to tell each other so..."

An original short story for radio inspired in part by the anniversary of the Kinder Mass Trespass, a protest on 24th April 1932 that saw hundreds of ramblers walk onto private land in the Derbyshire Peaks, asserting their "right to roam". Following the protest, five men were arrested and imprisoned. It’s often cited as one of the most successful acts of civil disobedience in British history.

Written by Eley Williams, performed by John Lightbody, and produced by Becky Ripley.
