This oral history archive is rich in info about Exmoor and the packs that hunt it. I especially like all the history about the Devon and Somerset staghounds. Dick Lloyd's interview is a favorite.
When I was last in Exmoor, in a much happier time, we stopped in a bookstore where I picked up a book on this project. I am so thankful people were willing to share about their lives and this cherished moor.
Exmoor is where I have been happiest and I dream of being on Dunkery Beacon again after a day of hunting and a feed of venison pie at the White Horse. Looking at the stars and over the Bristol Channel to Wales, my head on his shoulder, and talking about nothing and everything warm in the happiness of finding my best friend. I had given up ever finding anyone like him and I can still remember the shyness, shock and unbelief that he was there beside me and what a lucky lucky girl I was.
