This evening this popular weekly item will be presented in the form of a discussion between a walker of many years ago and a walker of today - the latter a young member of the Youth Hostels Association.
The veteran will tell of the days when there were no coloured posters, no motor coaches, no tea shops, when the Lake District was like a new continent and charabancs did not roar over Dartmoor.
He rather doubts if the young man can ever have quite the thrill that he himself did, and clings to the idea, like all of us, that there were giants in the old days.
But the young man points out that a mist on Snowdon, and rolling Wilt-shire downs, and a camp fire flickering against pine trees, come just as fresh to the younger generation as they did to Victorians.
Perhaps the contrast after factory hooters and traffic lights and the pace of modern life is all the greater, and the finding of still undiscovered fieldpaths all the sweeter.
These two, however, have the same interests to draw them together. Listeners will hear how Victorian walkers dressed and may be surprised to learn that girls, too, walked in those days, and that in 1896 there was a Holiday Centre at Whitby for men and women. They will hear, too, about the Youth Hostels that are dotted all over Britain.... and it is interesting to note that today is the fifth anniversary of the English Youth Hostels Association, who will be holding a birthday meeting at one of the big halls in Birmingham while this discussion goes on.
