Recordist's notes

Part of a series exploring contemplative approaches to soundwalking. This walk begins at the end of Shuttleworth Close, heading north along the footpath, past St Mary's Church, turning off the road and through the farm, then hugging the River Thames as far as Wallingford Bridge, over the river, to wind through the back streets to Mousey Lane and the Friday market in Market Place. Recorded on the internal microphones of a Sony PCM D100 with Rycote windshield.
