“As some of you know, I’m heading off on a planned sabbatical this half term. Over 20 days, I’ll be cycling the length of the country from Land’s End to John o’ Groats, covering around 2,000km and raising money for the Heritage Crafts charity as I go. From scissors to signwriting, cartwheels to clogs, along the way I’ll be meeting about 20 people who specialise in heritage crafts and learning about the endangered skills they practise, and the challenges of keeping those traditions alive today. I’ll be recording interviews with the makers, with the aim of producing a podcast that shares what I see and hear: who these people are, what they create, and what it means to carry on working by hand in a technically fast-moving world. A few people have asked whether I’ll be sharing updates; I’ll be trying to post daily on Instagram, capturing the ride and the makers along the way. You can follow the journey at @crafty_cyclist. Thanks for all the support and encouragement – and fingers crossed for a tailwind.”
