We go for a drizzly, breezy walk around the Peak District woodland which psychotherapist Ruth Allen calls her office and discuss how people respond to the landscape. Later we talk to Natalie and Geoff, the mental health support worker and former drummer who now run glamping nature retreats for adults with autism at Wilderme, their stunning spot on the Cornish coast.
