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 leave Glasgow and hobble the last few miles to the sea. For two people who love cycling, they discuss what they’ve learned about having to walk slowly instead, persevering through pain and bad weather. They also look back on their three Source to Sea journeys and reflect on how it feels to be at the end of the project.


Plus, listen to the full version of Julie Fowlis’s beautiful song written to accompany the trip, with lyrics inspired by the remarkable behaviour of Atlantic salmon, a species which is sadly under threat.


Silver in the Blue was written and sung by Julie Fowlis. It's the song that Julie wrote to accompany Lee Craigie and Jenny Graham on their slow journey down the River Clyde.


Source to Sea is a Tandem Production, in association with the Adventure Syndicate and with the support of the Audio Content Fund.
