Robert Macfarlane travels the ancient walking tracks of Britain: paths such as the Broomway, a passage of sand and mud flats on the Essex coastline that connects the mainland to an island oddly known as Foulness. It’s a track that has claimed many lives over the centuries, as the tides comes in faster than a person can run.

Asia Overland: adventures on the hippie trail - Hindsight - ABC Radio National (Australian Broadcasting Corporation)
The infamous ‘hippie trail’ was the overland route forged through Asia in the early 1970s by young travellers in search of something else – adventure, drugs, or spiritual enlightenment. We explore the trail through the voices and stories of those who were there – a group of rebel Australians who threw caution and suburban upbringings to the wind, packed their duffle bags with little more than maps, sarongs and sandals, and headed into the heart of Asia.
