Wee Binnians Walkers on BBC Radio 4 - Ramblings.
« on: February 16, 2012 »
The Wee Binnians are Northern Irelands bigest walking club were on the radio. The programme was presented by Claire Balding (of BBC Horse Racing pundit fame). We recorded it on Fri 13th Jan in a glorous sunshine. The Mournes was looking its very best. Here are the photos

Listened to it last night.  I found it surprisingly easy to listen to.  Yer man can hold a good tune.

That was our Chairperson Mick O'Driscoll. He is a very talented singer. It was a great day and it was recorded on Fri 13th Jan. Thankfully nothing bad happened. Have to say both Claire Balding, the presenter and Sarah Conkey, the sound engineer were very nice. They were very impressed. Here are photos of our day with Claire Balding and the BBC Radio 4 Team:
