'The Odyssey' GEOLOCATION DISCOVERY TRAIL. Chapter One - 'The Gathering Storm'
A free to access geolocation trail telling the first chapter of a newly reimagined version of Homer's classic tales of the Trojan Wars. This version of the story leads you on a gentle walk past a number of Hornsea's points of interest and features the voices of performers from along the Yorkshire Coast.
Enter into a world of ancient Gods and epic battles inspired by Homer's classic works. A modern reinvention of an ageless tale, set across the expanse of the beautiful Yorkshire Coast. The first episode - 'The Gathering Storm' tells of how the Trojan wars began, and introduces many of the major characters in our tale.
