Two people stand in moorland near Tan Hill surrounded by purple heather and bog, struck by the emptiness and wilderness. The heather alone is worth millions of pounds. One speaker contrasts it sharply with living near Birmingham.
We left Tan Hill and you go out of Tan Hill and it's literally like a, I can only say it's like a moorland desert. You just, there's just heather as far as you can see. And I was saying to like Colin and Amber, I was saying, there's no roads, there's no buildings. For as far as you could see, there was nothing. That blew my mind a lot because you think about where we live. Like I live in the middle of Birmingham, on the edge of Birmingham, and to have nothing in any direction. and proper wilderness.
Yeah, you literally do a full 360 and it's just heather.
There was nothing. Yeah, I mean, what color were they? Like, it's like purple in it now, I think. Yeah, you could see a lot of bogs. It was a lot quite boggy, which wasn't brilliant, but millions of pounds worth of heather.
How much would you sell a little piece of that for these days?
