A series of field recordings made on the Bristol and Bath Cycle Path near Bitton Station. Bikes and steam trains pass by, sometimes with snippets of conversation, and a backdrop of birdsong and occasional cow mooing.

Field recording made of a crackling log fire fire on New Year's Day while staying in a cabin at Kingstone Brewery in Monmouthshire 01/01/2018.

The sound of the burning fire had a pleasing low-register rumble that added to the relaxing feeling of a warm fire in winter.

Field recording made in Leigh Woods, Bristol on 21/11/2016.

It was a rainy day, so much of the subject matter is the sound of rain against the leaf mould, the trees, and puddles.

Field recordings made at Woodhill Bay, Portishead on 14th October 2016.

This was my first outing using the Sony PCM-M10, and involved some clambering on the headland rocks to try and get into a good position. The tide was quite far out, and the sea calm.
