Gwen Moffat & Helen Mort on BBC Radio 3 - Between the Ears

© Jim Herrington

93 year old climber and author Gwen Moffat has taken part in the BBC Radio 3 series Between the Ears, which is due to air tomorrow (Saturday 30th September) at 9:30pm. The programme, titled Between the Ears: Give Me Space Below My Feet - which alludes to Gwen's book Space Below My Feet - will feature commissioned poetry read aloud by Helen Mort and recorded in binaural sound in an attempt to evoke the sensations of climbing on Middlefell Buttress.

Will the experimental sound match up to reality, and will Gwen be taken back to her climbing days?

Also featuring me in a thankfully minor role, and support from Zac Poulton. Really pleased with how this turned out, best appreciated with a good pair of headphones.

I caught most of it last night completely by chance after putting new batteries in an old radio and trying to find Radio 4! It was great, and the bit where Gwen spoke about finding the body of the little boy brought me to tears. Great poetry from Helen Mort too.
