Minty Clinch, who died this month, was a good friend of ours for more years than we can remember. She was a fine writer and witty to the very end. We have decided to re-release an interview we did with her five years ago. The episode is about her adventures on horseback to some of the wildest corners of the world. To Minty's many friends: we hope you enjoy listening. Music © Barney & Izzi Hardy.
