Quintessential
April 6th, 2009 by lunamanI dislike national identifications, but I’d have to admit that the sounds uploaded today were recorded in England, and do have more than a hint of England-ness to them. They would certainly not be out of place on a hideous union-jack covered CD called ‘Sounds of England’, with a Beefeater, the Queen, David Beckham, the sounds of cricket, frying chips and ‘My Ole’ Man’s a Dustman’. The list is endless, and it’s an audio trap I’m ever keen to avoid when compiling sounds for Transporter Mix. Nothing wrong with some lovely church bells however . . . enjoy!
And on the running front – I’ve finally finished off the Ridgeway! A beautiful run out and back from Avebury almost to the Barbury Hill Fort completes the route now, well, apart from the very summit of Ivinghoe Beacon. Does this mean I’m now ready to run the whole route, start to finish, in one go? Every summer several hundred runners do achieve this 85 mile feat. Mad, mad, mad, but maybe in 2010?
