This week, we walk the waterways and coasts of Britain and Ireland, and the van Tulleken twins find out the benefits of all that dandering. There’s bellringing from Birmingham, bees buzzing across the isle of Shapinsay and choirs coalescing upon the Yorkshire Dales. Plus, the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu shares the secret to winning a Nobel Peace Prize.
