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 walked through the water and across boulders upstream and placed the Zoom H6 on a boulder in the middle of the flow. The boulder was c.1m above the surface of the water and was pointing upstream.
