Horatio Clare, on Running for the Hills20 Apr 2006
Every year thousands of people dream of escaping the city for a country idyll. Back in the 70s London journalists Jenny and Robert Clare followed that dream when they bought a dilapidated farm high in the Brecon Beacons complete with a flock of mountain sheep. The brutal and beautiful life they took on and the subsequent break up of his parents' marriage is told in a new book Running for the Hills by Horatio Clare. 

Horatio and his mother talk to Miriam O'Reilly about their family and their bond with their natural surroundings.

Running for the Hills, publisher John Murray, ISBN: 0719565383
