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.

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 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. Our adventurers have reached Glasgow just as COP26 is coming to an end, and they stop to talk to people as they pass through the city. Talking to climate activists reminds them that it’s important to connect to ourselves and to our natural environments, and doing something simple like walking has helped them achieve that over the last few days.
