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. Lee and Jenny have conversations with climate activists and Glasgow locals about COP26 and their thoughts on our climate crisis. This extended feature includes interviews with youth climate activist Jessie Stevens, cyclist Markus Stitz, climate scientist Jen Newell, Extinction Rebellion member Jo Blackman, Ed Wolstenholme and Miles Resso from The Racing Collective, and local people.

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.
