“ A physical journey of events… and an exploration of mystical landscapes and ancient worlds… The destination was South-West, from Dorset and Somerset, taking in South Cadbury Castle (Nestle hill forts), Glastonbury Tor, the misty road across wind-swept Dartmoor, and to finally arrive on the remote moors of Boskednan - in time for the Hunter’s Moon. The physical journey was to leave behind the ordinary world of thought and planning, and improvise around the possibilities, and to steer a course, as close as possible, straight into uncertainty. Allowing the random elements to join together, with minimum guidance. The final destination, in West Cornwall, was a last minute suggestion of where to be for the full moon - the oldest and least visited site we could find on the map. What we found there was a visual series of events that were hard to understand, but easy to just become lost within….letting go, and being carried by the flow, enabled us to see far into ancient customs and traditions that are still part of our world today, although so much more remote in our understanding and memory.” SB 2020
