At the end of June 2021 I took off with my friend Mark to West Somerset to walk through the night along the Quantock spine - I felt challenged. Meeting, eating, planning and a pint put us in the mood to trek. Here is the result with the help of many moon serenading poets, atmospheric music and for the first time a story that took off into the realms of the imagination, whilst remaining firmly footed in our overnight experience. Thanks for the challenge Mark.Thanks to...Alfred Noyes, John Milton, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Wordsworth&nbsp;and Tamany Baker for their poetryMark Smalley my nightjar lark companionCreditsWritten and performed by Michael LoaderMusic written and performed by Martin Solomon.

The Whaling Moon

What does a full moon mean to you? Have you ever slept out under one and watched it rise? 

Storyteller Michael Loader has done just that. During the year of 2021, he spent one night a month sleeping out in a bivvi bag under the full moon and each experience inspired him to create a unique piece of writing.

On each full moon during 2022, we will release that story.
