I've Walked in the Wildwoods all my life. It's where I learned my craft, it's where I learned the magic and the love of literally spelling a word into existence. The next round of my Walking the Wildwoods course begins in November 2026 and registrations are now open. Details are on my website.

A great reminder of the fun and joy of this project. And the legacy of the podcasts and my personal continued journey with the stories, the places and the folk that told 'em
As part of the AHRC/NTU Lincolnshire Folk Tales Project,
Adverse Camber Productions & @pynstory.bsky.social recently had fun with local folk tales with pupils in Lincs primary schools. They were great! Listen to these wonderful short Podcasts, edited by Marc Reck. adversecamber.org/project/linc...
