Suspended like a pink octopus on a door hanger, this rucksack is famous. But only if you know why it's famous. Actually famous is stretching it a bit. But this rucksack spends a lot of time with the very wonderful Clare Balding as she strides across the length and breadth of Britain. Not that she carries it, but it is used by the producers of Ramblings on Radio 4. Its simple persona belies its importance. Within are held first aid kits, spare food, water and batteries and a few other things depending on the weather and the walk. Formerly it belonged to long time Ramblings producer Lucy, and now Maggie and Karen. Today however it landed in my office, as Freelance Tom who sits opposite me will be using it for three summer recordings. I think pink is his colour, he's certainly tall enough.
