About this listen

Source to Sea follows the exploits and thoughts of Scottish endurance cyclists Lee Craigie and Jenny Graham as they travel slowly down the course of the River Clyde. After Lee has an accident shortly before they set off, our pair of adventurers are forced to abandon their bikes and packrafts, deciding to walk instead. Sometimes it doesn’t matter if you can’t see the view at the top of a hill - it’s the physical activity of moving her body and getting her heart rate going that make Jenny happy this morning. As they plod along, Lee and Jenny discuss the song Julie has written for their trip. They are struck by the intuition of salmon, which has made them think about how we as humans interact with nature and our planet.


Source to Sea is a Tandem Production, in association with the Adventure Syndicate and with the support of the Audio Content Fund. The music is by award-winning folk singer Julie Fowlis, who has created a beautiful new song to accompany Lee and Jenny’s journey down the River Clyde with lyrics inspired by the remarkable behaviour of Atlantic salmon, a species which is sadly under threat.
