| Description | Interview with Walter Thornton, Bournville. He talks about some of the longer journeys he had made on his own since losing his sight and describes in detail how he navigated the local area around his house in Church Stretton. He describes occasions when he has become disorientated, his strategies for dealing with this, and the difficulties of dealing with unexpected holes in the ground. He talks about the 'embarrassments of blindness', being observed by people when making mistakes moving around, sighted people's feelings of guilt, and the amount of sympathy evoked from sighted people (tracks 1-7).
