Yurts

Snow, biting winds and a tent made to the design used by nomads in Ulaanbaatar, but Richard Uridge hasn't travelled to Mongolia for this week's Open Country, he's in Exmoor.

Snow, biting winds and a tent made to the design used by nomads in Ulaanbaatar ... but Richard Uridge hasn't travelled to Mongolia for this week's Open Country, he's high up on Exmoor.

He meets Hen and Leo - who are braving winter on the moor in pursuit of their dream of a low impact, but not entirely low-tech lifestyle - their pig-farming neighbour and the man who made their yurt.

Producer Steve Peacock.
