Recordist's notes
In Garrigill there is a bridge over the River South Tyne and down below there is a wee sitting area. Which were designed by Peter Lexie Elliott circa 2000. Bit tricky to get down to, so please don't try when wet. And in typical country side style, shortly after I hit record a farm vehicle comes driving over the bridge. You can hear in the recording, with binaural microphones, that I'm moving around having a look under the bridge from the steps. https://soundscapes.woollypigs.com/tyne-steps
