Clare Balding walks across Dartmoor with a former soldier whose retirement has taken him in a surprising direction.
Andy Salmon is a former soldier who now runs creative events which he hopes will inspire peace and reconciliation. As the former Commandant General of the Royal Marines, Andy has much experience to draw upon. He spent 36 years in the Marines and served in many global conflicts.
It might sound unlikely, but the 鈥楯ourney Through Conflict鈥� events he now stages are a mixture of art, music and storytelling during which he and other former soldiers share their wartime experiences.
In this edition of Ramblings, he takes Clare Balding for a challenging walk across a section of Dartmoor 鈥� which is a significant training location for the Royal Marines - on the way, they discuss what led him into such an unusual retirement.
