Hi, this very interesting programme was broadcast on Friday 4th April 2008 you can listen to it on the Radio 4 listen again service :-
15:00
Ramblings
Walking through Time
Clare Balding explores routes with connections to the past.
She joins a group of ley hunters at Llanthony Priory near Abergavenny. Lawrence Main and writer Phil Rickman explain the work of Alfred Watkins, author of The Old Straight Track, as they take a group of enthusiasts on one of the ancient spirit paths that criss-cross Britain.
Best wishes Paul

Re: Ramblings on BBC Radio 4
Thanks Paul.
I just found the link and had a listen to the podcast:

Laurence Main is a very interesting character, he gave a talk at the West Wales Dowsers a while back. His books on rambling, spirit paths and King Arthur's Camlan are widely available in bookshops (and on the web) and definitely worth a look.

I've just been having a look for the episode that Paul originally mentioned. Here's a direct link to the episode on the BBC archive page.

The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it - Terry Pratchett.
