Episode 56: Chris McDougall - Author of "Born to Run" is still running - with Donkeys!

Once again Chris McDougall finds a seed of truth and sprouts it into a great story - this time the millennia-old bond between animals and humans, and how that connection can still nurture us. And frustrate us, if you've just entered a burro race.

"If you and that burro aren't of the same opinion where you're going and how fast, it can drag you up the side of a cliff or through a boulder field." - Ken Chlouber

The Dava Way is a long distance footpath in ancient Morayshire, now the Moray and Highlands region of north-east Scotland. The path links the historic towns of Grantown-on-Spey and Forres. The total distance from the centres is 24 miles (38km), of which 22 miles (35 km) are in open countryside.
