Peddars Way, Creaking Tree – February 2023
The strong wind was producing some great sounds, especially when the top of this tree moved against the one next to it. I pressed the recorder up against the bark and I could feel the vibration running down the tree – at about 35 seconds on the recording.
The Peddars Way runs from starts at Knettishall Heath Country Park in Suffolk following the route of a Roman road for 49 miles (79 Km) to Holme-next-the-Sea on the north Norfolk coast.

Blakeney Is Beautiful – July 2017
For part of the Sounding Coastal Change Project in 2017, Year 6 pupils from the Pilgrim Federation of Church of England Primary Schools in Norfolk learned about sound recording.
During a couple of field trips they captured the sounds of birds and insects (and a lot of wind!) along the North Norfolk coastline. They also interviewed residents of Blakeney to capture their thoughts about living in the area.
This sonic snapshot was produced by me and first aired in July 2018 during the Sounding Coastal Change 24 hour broadcast.

The sand on the beach at Winterton-on-Sea
It was very very windy on the beach at Winterton-on-Sea. The first sound that greeted me was that of the sand being blown along the beach. It’s just a faint crackling noise. Forgive the buffering wind, but without it the sand would have been still and quiet.
