Dartmoor Storytrail Letterboxing Event
At 2:00p.m. on Sunday 24th July meet project artist Charlie Henry in front of The Tors Inn, Belstone, http://www.thetors.co.uk . Charlie will then lead them to the event marquee at the moor gate (OS grid reference SX618929 OL Explorer map of Dartmoor).
Participants' initial task will be to write the first sentences in each book. Then everyone will walk out onto the moor and help Charlie hide the Storyboxes. The project marquee will be open from 2pm to 4:30pm and participants (whether they join in the walk or not) can pick-up their free Wordquest Literary Maps for Devon, donate their favourite words and help Charlie create poems out of donated words.
The Storytrail map, instructions and clues will be available on the project website: http://www.wordquestdevon.info from Wednesday, 28th July. Printed copies will be available at libraries and other locations across Devon from the second week of August.
Each box holds a book containing a story in progress – after finding a box, participants are asked to add a sentence to the story in the manner of 'chain stories'. Project artist Charlie Henry explains: " In keeping with Wordquest Devon's links to the Cultural Olympiad, the Dartmoor Storytrail borrows from the concept of relay-race running and turns it into a relay-race of literary imagination."
