During a visit to North Wales, Negus and Prideaux sat down in a woodland to talk about land management, what Negus has witnessed on his travels and why you won't find any mole hills on slurried silage fields.
They also try to bring back feudalism, why land managers should be the ones leading the charge for outdoor access and the slim possibility of Richard Negus writing a second book.

This is our first stab at filming an episode of Countryslide. We DO know what we're doing, but you would never know from the above output.

On 19th December 1981 a dramatic rescue played out on the English coast, involving a stricken cargo ship being driven towards a rocky shore by a storm. It's an important story of courage, skill, sacrifice and decisions that ultimately led to tragedy which affected an entire community.

Tonight is the anniversary of that incident, and in this episode we pull together the original radio transmissions to tell the story of the crews of the Union Star and the Solomon Browne.

We've loved every minute of it and to celebrate we sat down as usual to record and episode, as usual.

This week the guys talk about the news that game dealers in Belgium are no longer going to be taking game birds from the UK (aside from honouring existing contracts) This is possibly just the beginning of a prediction coming true that Europe will no longer be taking game from UK suppliers. This calls into question where the future of shooting lies. To put this into perspective, Negus has found an old edition of the Shooting Times complete with game prices from 1972.

To round out the episode, there's a quick (ish) fire round of questioning to get to know your hosts just a tad better.

We did record for a full hour with Cat, but due to technical issues it sadly only recorded Negus and Prideaux for the last 45 minutes and then blank space where once there was informative content from Cat.

For the second half of this episode Richard Prideaux interviews his mother about rural life in the 60s, 70s and 80s - they talk about the number of people, nature of community, poverty, and a few anecdotes from Richard's childhood.

A recent study has shown that 42.3% of farmers across the UK reduced their cropped arable area to take part in agri-environment schemes for harvest 2025, with the majority being in the South East and East of England where less productive and marginal ground which is difficult to access with machinery are being put into schemes to improve profitability and help the environment.

Meanwhile a Labour-led all-party parliamentary group has released a report which concludes that there is not enough access to nature in England and calling for greater access to nature, particularly inland waters. There is also a push for improving accessibility of existing rights of way by removing stiles and replacing with inclusive alternatives.

Richard and Richard discuss these topics, the deeper meanings and their potential impacts on rural spaces and our wildlife.

Andy is not only from a long line of thatchers, but he is also a lecturer and currently studying to become a doctor of reeds (AKA Reedbed management)! The three discuss everything from reedbed conservation, the importance of the reedbed habitat to Bittern and other wildlife, lack of management in the UK, exotic reed, Andy's less good looking brother Chris, the endangered craft and hard job of reed cutting and so much more.
