Recordist's notes

Before i left Fortescue i climbed the embankment that sits up above the old railway line in the field called Lears. The wind was gusting through the leaves in the trees above creating a drone along with the sound of the traffic from the A396 and the occasional train on the Exeter to Paddington mainline. This eas recorded using the internal microphones
