Ramblings - Barry Farrimond, who plays Ed Grundy, on Dartmoor
Download Barry Farrimond, who plays Ed Grundy, on Dartmoor
Barry Farrimond, who plays Ed Grundy in The Archers, takes Clare Balding for an adventurous hike across Dartmoor. As they navigate the granite boulders of Wistman's Wood and scramble cross the West Dart River, Barry discusses the challenges of recording The Archers during lockdown, the knot he invented a few years ago (the Farrimond Friction Hitch) and Open Up Music, an organisation he co-founded to ensure that orchestras are accessible to young disabled musicians; this led to the establishment of the National Open Youth Orchestra, the world's first disabled-led national youth ensemble.
Barry and Clare began their walk at Two Bridges, in the car park for Wistman's Wood: grid reference SX609750.
