The Legendary Trail

As a result of this website I was approached by a company from Plymouth called "Encore Productions" who  provide filming and media services for businesses and organisations locally and nationally. They have embarked on a project to  bring out  a series of  DVD's on some of the most well known Dartmoor Legends, these will also feature personal stories from the people who have lived around them. the project  will be called  "The Legendary Trail" which follows a route directly through the centre of Dartmoor. The route begins at the Dewerstone Rock, Shaugh Bridge where it is alleged the evil Dewer and his Whist Hounds have driven many a poor soul lost on the moor, to their death over the cliff edge. Because  I mentioned the legend of Dewer the Huntsman on this site they asked me to participate in the project and talk about growing up with the legend and weave in personal childhood experiences, as they believe that this will bring the reality home to viewers how just the knowledge of the legends affected my perception of the moor and the  Shaugh area in which I grew up. I met their production team on Sunday 17th June 2007 at the base of the Dewerstone and we began filming. I must say I was very impressed with their professionalism. All went smoothly  and the weather was kind to us.  The edited segment of the  film is now  available on the internet.
