Recordist's notes

Listening to the water at Green-head Ghyll as part of an investigation into the soundscape of William Wordsworth's poem 'Michael'. I wedged the blimp between two small rocks by the side of the river c.1 metre above the surface of the water. This was recorded with an AT4025 and a Sound Devices 722.
