Over the course of this summer, I took a sabbatical from teaching and cycled over 2,200 kilometres from one end of the country to the other, meeting nearly twenty craftspeople along the way. From silver spinners and wheelwrights to kilt makers and basket weavers, I learnt the stories behind their endangered skills and what it takes to keep these crafts alive today.

Episode 1: The Explainer

This first episode looks at how the idea for the journey came about and what it took to plan. From contacting nearly twenty craftspeople to arranging stays at different campsites along the route. I talk about the training I needed to undertake, the challenge of fitting everything onto a bike, and the build‑up to finally reaching Land’s End to begin this huge adventure.
