If you have come to this website through finding a message in a bottle please let us know through our feedback form.
Here we are bottling those messages, from the people who contributed their voices to the show, and giving them to the River Dart to play with:
To us the river became metaphorically entwined with the swan: sometimes calm on the surface yet underneath there is always something happening. The river meanders through the Dart Valley up from Dartmouth through Totnes and onto Dartmoor – the source. It’s curves and bends remind us of the neck of a swan. We feel blessed to live in this beautiful part of the world and “Against The Tide” is an homage to those feelings and the generous contributors who made it possible.
