]]> Our cyclists leave the countryside and arrive in Aberdeen on the final day. Despite initially feeling deflated that their trip is coming to an end, their chirpiness returns as they are met on the river by children who have been following their journey.


Plus, listen to the full version of Julie Fowlis’s beautiful song written to accompany the trip, with words by the poet Nan Shepherd.


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 Dee. With bikes, packrafts, and tents they're looking for adventure (and possibly some peace of mind) in the great Scottish outdoors.


The Hill Burns was written by Julie Fowlis, with words by Nan Shepherd, music and vocals by Julie Fowlis and also featuring Jim Molyneux, Laura Jane Wilkie and Rachel Newton. It's the song that Julie wrote to accompany Lee Craigie and Jenny Graham on their slow paddle and cycle down the River Dee.
