There are only two ways of seeing the country: one is to walk, the other to cycle. Myfanwy Evans chooses the latter means of propulsion, and this afternoon she will try to convey the enjoyment she had when she recently made a cycling tour of the Chilterns. The expedition started with an empty haversack, which soon began to swell and bulge with odds and ends, some of which will be shown on the television screen. She met some interesting people, too, and one or two of them will be with her today in the studio.
Myfanwy Evans is the wife of John Piper, who has given several television talks in the past. She studied English at Oxford where she was president of the University Women's Swimming Club. Now she is editor of Axis and a contributor to periodicals such as Time and Tide and The New Statesman.
