Audio Trail, footpaths and big skies

We have been busy walking the footpaths that we want to include in our audio trail, the weather has been so good that we had no problems with visibility this time. We had a copy of an ordnance survey map to navigate from but with major industrial scale farming the paths are not always clear.

We are including cultural history and heritage in our audio trail. We are celebrating artists, writers, composers who lived, worked and were inspired by the marsh. We are also collaging sounds from the landscape into the mix, including the sounds of marsh warblers, biplanes, skylarks and sheep. This photo shows my colleague with her sound recorder capturing the sounds as we walk.

Another activity this week has involved working with a partnership organisation The Romney Marsh Visitor Centre and @KentWildlife who offered us their pruned viminalis

Thanks to a team of volunteers we worked very quickly sorting and cutting suitable weaving material
