Writer Anna Freeman presents a showcase of true stories about of people who keep going, along the twisting and turning of long roads, and the art that comes from the journey.

This week, Anna brings stories of the Bristol Bike Bard, Caroline Burrows, who uses the freedom of the open road to inspire her poetry. Whilst Lois Pryce, who found herself housebound recovering from illness, transported herself to faraway lands through the power of imagination. And Clarke Reynolds, whose sight has been deteriorating ever since he was a child, but who harnesses this as inspiration to make curiously visionary art.

Produced by Maggie Ayre and Eliza Lomas, for BBC Audio in Bristol. Show less
