Available during Festival Fortnight, this specially pre-recorded podcast will get you up, out and about, with guided instructions on where to walk, what to do, and things to notice that you can use as inspiration in your writing.

Whether you live out in the countryside or in the middle of the city, download the podcast and follow the instructions to gather inspiration for a piece of writing – which you’ll be able to complete once you get home.

This podcast is designed to get you off the beaten track and to notice things you wouldn’t normally notice – but don’t worry, you’ll be able to go at your own pace and pause when you need to.
