“Audio Posts Enhance The Richard Burton Trail”
The Richard Burton trail has been selected as walk of the month by Mark Rowe for ‘The Independent’ in March 2013.
Blackbox-av were delighted to take part in the construction of this trail with the supply of a U-Turn Round audio post. Something noticed by The Independent who mentioned “Audio posts enhance the experience of walking among the actor’s childhood haunts in South Wales”.
A Great Success
“Reaching the childhood trail involves a four-mile walk down the valley along an easy shared path above the Afan River. The water is flowing fast and it’s a delightful stroll, punctuated by birdsong and tumbling weirs. Along the way, I pass an audio post where I take a moment to listen to Burton reading Dylan Thomas…… This area was important to a man whose companions assert never forgot his roots. By the audio post are three cast-iron, life-sized figures – Burton, Rob Brydon (another local boy made good) and a former forest park ranger Dick Wagstaff, widely credited with driving tourism to revive the post-coal economic fortunes of the area.”
It’s always nice to know that our outdoor audio points are working exactly as planned, truly enhancing the experience available on this historical trail. The added interpretation potential of audio in an outdoor location can never be understated.
