Recordist's notes
A recording captured from the high vantage point near the West Hill Lift. The soundscape features a quiet, open atmosphere filled with distant, attenuated elements from the Old Hastings town below, including faint voices and the scattered cries of seagulls. This calm environment is eventually punctuated by the sound of a small plane passing through the airspace. Recorded with a Tascam DR-05X. 24°C, 12.8 km/h.
